Advice To My 17-Year-Old Self

Hey Baby Live your truth Dance your wild Shave your head Blue hair will be in eventually So keep it Mistakes are the best way to learn Be easy on yourself Enjoy your teeth Brush them more often Even if your gums bleed I am in your court You will live a lot longer than you think Do the fun stuff now Your knees will break later And your ankles will get arthritis And you will stop dancing So prance and hop and skip and sing Live your truth Shout your ideas Follow your heart Never be afraid to be yourself. I am proud of you We will meet in fifty years
