Before I start I can confirm sanity has been restored. A good sleep and an afternoon of friends and brownies and I'm back.
This Tuesday is 10 things I wish I'd know 10 years ago. 10 years ago I was 18. JUST an adult. A few months off University.
So to 18 year old me...
1. You don't have to be "broken girl". I thought it'd be cool to be a tortured soul. It's not. It's just depressing.
2. Lighten up. Cheer up. Think positively.
3. Practice being on your own. Get comfortable in your own company. That took be a while.
4. Your parents are HUMAN BEINGS. Don't be alarmed.
5. Hardly anyone is thinking about you. Most people are always thinking about themselves. SO stop worrying about what other people think of you.
6. You are skinny. In 9.5 years you are going to be 9 months pregnant and look at pictures of 18 year you and think are positively slender. Enjoy it.
7. Do what you love doing. Not what you would like to love doing.
8. If you have to try, he's not right.
9. Be humble more. You're not fooling anybody.
10. Give your friends compliments. You don't sound stupid.
Hey! We are the same age :) I agree with so many of your list and I should have included #3,5,and 8 on my own list - especially #3 - that should be a poster that they put up around colleges and high schools! Great list and your little lady is the cutest :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! Funny how many of us *thought* we were fat back then... sheesh!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up this week! Newest follower!
Hah, that same list could apply to me when I was 18!
ReplyDeleteOh my goshhhh, I love that photo of you two. I also love your list. It's so true! I laughed out loud at #1, about being a tortured soul, because that was SO me!
