Advice To My Younger Self
Advice For My Younger Self...
If I had advice for my younger self I would tell them that life is a complicated thing. Difficult almost. They want to see who can survive the difficult challenges of life. I would also tell them that life doesn't treat you any better because you are a good person. That statement took me a long time to accept. No matter how smart and kind and intelligent you are people will still hate you just because you are better than them . I would give them a side note that the government and society do not believe in inequality. There is always one race, gender, age group or religion that will be left out. I could also say that school is worthless. The parents and teachers that will shame you for dropping out will be the same people trying to get in your good graces when you become something. That little argument with that girl wasn't worth it. That beating around the bush type thing you did with your crush will be forgotten. That group of friends you dropped sophomore year won't matter anymore. All of the bad things you endured through your teenage years never compared to adult life.The moments in your room when you sat under the covers and prevented a single tear from falling. or the family functions you dreaded because of the judgment. They don't matter anymore. They almost simply fade away. the last thing I would say to myself is that nothing is ever guaranteed in life and we need to show appreciation before it's too late because all of us will have a moment in our lives when we sleep peacefully forever.
