#stresslater

this past week someone asked me if i could go back in time and tell my past self something or give her some advice what would it be? and i have a whole list for my sis ..

- stop stressing, you’ll be okay; i was a MAJOR stressball in highschool because I would often take things and over-exaggerate them. Sis, what you’re stressing about now - won’t matter in a week. Breathe. 

- no one cares about the inconveniences in your life so stop broadcasting it to the world; like every other girl in my day n age i had a (still do lmao) pERsonAL acc. like as if posting about these inconveniences could give me the right reassurance and bring my ex back, or get me a higher grade on my last paper, or even create a beautiful image of me with a symmetrical face, without pimples, and perfect eyebrows in the mirror lol. don’t post about everything, everyone doesn’t need to know x

- love all, trust few. no need to open the book all the way when someone shares the slightest bit of interest in your life. stay guarded; i was very naive, thinking i could trust everyone when someone would share a little about their life like that gave me the golden ticket to open up fully about my own. as time passed i learnt that trust must be earned, and thats when i learnt how to build my guard up so high that now i struggle to let anybody in.. lol we’re working on it. 

- have fun kid and spend time with friends as much as you can; school gave me and my friends and other school mates reason to see eachother and to hang out; make the most of that time because after highschool people grow up, get busy - jobs, study, responsibilities.. you have time in highschool, have fun x 

This list is short but it comes with depth. if any current highschool kids are reading this - don’t rush time and don’t stress so much, “everything is as good or as bad as you make it”.. in highschool and at a young time in your life there is no need to exaggerate any inconvenience, so don’t stress.. Save that for after highschool lol. i often got carried away in highschool feeling pressured to have my life sorted out, when really i still don’t have it altogether now. life is precious, and so is time - make the most of it.
