Part of getting older is getting wiser. Everyone has something they wish they could go back and tell their younger selves. Whether it was about a specific situation or in general, we want to go back and preach our new found wisdom to our childish self. We try to live without regrets, without sorrow, but the truth is, there is always something we want to change. We want to change that horrible haircut, that one embarrassing moment in middle school, or our attitudes in high school. I know I wish I cared less about what people thought, I wish I wore less orange, and I wish I stood up for myself more. Here’s a few things I’d tell myself if I could go back in time, as told by the cast of New Girl.
1. When you do something...
...because you're not always going to be the best. It's about how you present yourself, and how you treat other people.
2. Don't bottle things up.
...and you really don't want that.
3. Stand up for your self, because...
...is not the answer.
4. You're perfect just the way you are.
Don't change to fit in. Stay true to who you are, and stand out.
5. When you stand out, people will talk about you, but...
... So it's okay. It's better to be talked about then ignored, especially when you're making a difference.
6. Don't hide what makes you who you are...
and no one really cares how crazy you are. The truth is, everyone is a little crazy.
7. Pros and Cons lists aren't always the answer...
... Sometimes it's okay to choose the path that makes you the happiest.
8. The grass may always seem greener on the other side...
...but live in the present, not the past.
9. Love is different for everyone...
and it doesn't matter what others say. Follow your heart.
10. Love more...
... dream bigger, and do your best. You'll regret it if you don't.
11. Don't run away...
... Stand up and fight.
12. Be yourself...
... In forty years, you'll be more grateful for the times you stood true to yourself, than acting like your friends.
13. Keep an open mind...
... It's okay to open your mind to new opportunities. Don't let the fear of getting hurt keep you from trying new things.
14. Don't pay attention to what people say...
... Being weird is the normal thing to do.
