One of the trending topics on twitter right now is #tweetyour16yearoldself. I was going to do it there, but I realized I had a lot to say to my 16 year old self, so here goes:

- Stop talking about your future like it’s definite. You are going to change your mind completely.

- The girl who bullies you now, gets fat later. So don’t even trip. She will also never be your friend again. Don’t waste your energy trying to change that.

- All those songs you write are being wasted on yourself. When you share your music, at least one person will like it and you’ll feel great. And that’s all you need.

- Boyfriends in high school are pointless. You really don’t need one like you think you do.

- You should try picking up a camera one of these days.

- Your skin will get better but your boobs are done growing. Sorry, I did my best.

- Just remember to be who you want to be and do what you want to do. Your opinions are yours. They don’t have to be mirror images of anyone elses.
