Every morning we have the chance to to start a new life. If sleep is akin to death, then waking up is reincarnation. Are you going to drift into today a ghost of your former self? Or will you allow yourself to be reborn?

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I’m not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men’s judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They’ll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

This is not the end of your story. It’s the turning point. There is still so much more that lies ahead, so much more yet to be finished.
