5 Pieces Of Advice Your Younger Self Needs To Know

Throughout the years you learn a lot about the world as well as yourself. Yet when we're growing up the smallest things seem like the biggest deal in the world, when reality it's not. Here's what your older self wants your younger self to know.

1. If it won't matter in five years, it doesn't matter now. 

It happens so often that we get so sucked into petty drama whether it's with your group of friends or your family. As long as no one is sick or hurt, it doesn't matter now, it won't matter later.

2. Stop apologizing!

This one I am still working on. You don't have to apologize for brushing up against someone, you don't have to apologize for being annoying (you only have to do that if someone tells you you're being annoying but even then. Just stop).

3. It's never too late to get started on something.

Everyone always says, "I'll put it off for tomorrow." But tomorrow never gets here! Whether it's going to the gym or trying to eat better, or getting started on a pick project, the trains leave every 15 minutes. CATCH THE NEXT ONE!

4. You're not too busy.

I know you may fight me on this one, but yes you are not too busy to commit to going to the gym or agreeing to help your friend move. The time you spend looking at your phone or reading social media. You have enough time to be productive and get stuff done!

5. HYDRATE!

Still working on this one... I love my Diet Coke. But honestly, if it's not already obvious, water is good for you! It's good for your skin, your body, your health...I could name more but you can look that up on your own. Drink water kids! It's also refreshing.

There are five pieces of advice we're better off learning late than never!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
