I had a weird dream last night. I was sitting around talking to a bunch of people, and at one point, I asked, "If you could go back in time and give your teenaged self some advice, what would you say?"


I'd tell myself not to worry so much, and that life does get better. I'd also tell myself to continue developing my talents and self, because image and popularity don't really matter all that much.

What would you say to yourself?

Beyond informing me that I'd develop one or two social skills after living on campus for a couple of years, and indeed would make friends at college? It's hard to say. I guess I was a pretty well informed 15 year old, and a lot of my attitudes were well in place by then. 13 year old, now, that might be a more interesting conversation. I'm not sure I would have the heart to tell me that the perm looked silly (and anyway, I grew it out as soon as possible). I'm not sure I'd warn myself away from some really unpleasant times, because they've all been learning experiences.
