#4/20 - 16 year old

#4 List 10 things you would tell your 16 year old self, if you could!
--------------

YIKES
now that is a question
this one is tough because from the age of 16 to age of 18 i went through....alot.

1) Being tough isn't all its cracked up to be.  It is ok to show emotion...(sometimes)  figure this out now and you won't still be struggling at it when you are 23!

2) Go to a community college and figure out what you want to do with your life before you get into $36,000 of debt for a degree you will likely never use.  (still don't totally regret this though because i made some awesome friends) 

3) Never stray from who you are.  Because that person is good enough, and people will love you.  It does not take turning into a new person to be loved.  

4)  People will always disappoint you.  That is reality.  Do not take it personally.  This will never end.  Learn to deal. 

5) Live in the moment and stop hoping for tomorrow!  You are a dreamer and always thinking about the next thing to happen instead of enjoying the moment.  Soak it up!  Time goes so fast, and you don't want to look back and wonder where life went.

6)  Love your life.  It is the only one you will ever get.  Live it to the fullest with the best attitude every day!

7) Don't let other people decide your life for you!  Make your own decisions and stand firm in what you believe.  

8) Accept the fact that you will lose touch with a lot of your "friends"  but the true ones will be there no matter what.  Also accept that sometimes they are the ones letting go, not all relationships can last forever, no matter how hard you try.  Letting go is sometimes the best thing you can do.  

9) Do no hold a grudge.  What is the point?  Just let things go!

10) Remember that all the people you originally "hated" will eventually become your best friends!!!!
