Dear Younger Self
It won’t turn out the way you expect. And it’ll be a whole lot easier if you start with this advice, which you’ll ignore. Here goes anyway…
You are worth it – you don’t need to prove it. The effort in earning love from people who don’t deserve it is exhausting and futile. Stop it.
What matters to you isn’t just important, it’s the only thing. People will tell you all the things you can’t do: do not believe them. Deep down their ‘advice’ is for their benefit, not yours.
Now crack on, the ride is faster than you know.
