What advice would you give to your teenage self? – A reflection question from the daily writing prompt.
First, I would tell myself to never have picked up a cigarette. Good thing I came to my senses and dropped that habit long long ago.
Next, I would like to kick my ass up and down the street till I got it in my head that drinking is not a competitive sport.
I would encourage myself to have a lot more confidence in my abilities and to follow my dreams more. To not be afraid to talk from the heart.
To appreciate that time of teenage life fully. I did a pretty good job but there were things that could have been done better.
Oh yeah, to tone down a lot of the riskier things I did during those years.
