Twenty-One

Things I would tell my twenty-one year old self:
  • ENJOY THE F*CK out of it. Seriously. And laugh. A lot.
  • Work your ass off. Even if you are not interested in what you are doing. Someone will notice AND it will pay off.
  • Travel. See all you see. Do all you can do. Let go. Be open. 
  • Figure out a way to love yourself. Life gets easier once you do. 
  • Get in your car one day and just drive.
  • STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP!
  • Be careful who you make memories with... those memories last a lifetime.
  • Never, ever settle.
  • Laugh at the people who tell you it cannot be done. Appreciate the ones who know how great your accomplishments will be.
  • Once you thing you have it all figured out, you will be more lost than when you started. Go with it.
  • Trust yourself. Seriously. Try it out.
  • People will disappoint you. Even the ones you least expect. And there is no way getting around it.
  • Break your own heart.
  • Understand that many do not have your passion your thoughts, your outlook. And this will break you time and time again. Stop letting it. 
  • It doesn't get easier. The pain doesn't lessen. You just get better. And you adapt. 
  • And one day something will happen when you least expect it... and all the insanity will just be worth it.
Today was that day for me.
