We’ve all been there–angsty teenage qualms, unsolicited judgment over perfectly fine things, and unending existential dread. Which probably still resides within the current me. It’s true that five years isn’t too long a time, but it’s enough to say I know better. Dear 16-year-old me,I know your friends have been showing you the latest and funniest Vines and you do find them funny. It’s just that you refuse to make your own account because you think it’s a waste of time. And that it’s mainstream.
People who judge you for things you had no control over in the first place are worth leaving behind. The need to impress is shallow, and will only build mediocre relationships. Growing up and facing an unforgiving world, you’ll need a backbone. Start your relationships right—find genuine people, and return the genuinely.The first step into overcoming something is admitting within yourself that it’s there. Hence, enumerate your insecurities.
So you took a path that will “pay the bills.” After two years of struggling to force yourself to learn more things about something you couldn’t care less about, you shifted. Two years for naught but I don’t blame you. You’ve met amazing friends along the way, whose selflessness and sincere concern have become your safe space. Aren’t I the person I am now because of you?The world is big and it’s even bigger for a small town girl. Perhaps this is why you always doubted your passions.
