April 4- April Blogging Challange
What advice would you give your younger self?
Girl, younger self, wow, do I have so much advice to give you. But first and foremost, your hair; please please realize that it does not have to be such a struggle for you. You don't need to spend almost 4 hours every two weeks straightening your hair. Because girl, you are damaging those beautiful curls of yours, making them dry and brittle. Instead of trying to comply with societies' ideas of beauty, wear your hair the way it grows out of your head. Everyone may not understand it at first, but you'll thank me one day.
Secondly girl, take care of your body. This is the only body you'll ever get. Although you go to a high school that has off campus lunch and all the major fast food chains within walking distance, choose to bring your own lunch comprised of whole foods that nourish your body instead of a McFlurry and fries.
Don't worry so much about what others think about you. At the end of the day it only matters how you feel about you. Share your ideas, don't be afraid of them being shot down. Speak up and let people know how you feel. You have the right to say no to things that you don't want to do or don't agree with.
Learn as much as you can. School, as dumb as it may seem, is actually quite useful. You can never learn too much. Keep learning. Learn about the things that interest you. Learn how to play an instrument. Learn to draw. Learn to cook. Learn learn learn.
Save money. There will be a time when you actually HAVE to pay for things so if you start saving and investing now. You'll be financially secure much sooner in life and enjoy many luxuries because of it.
