What advice would you give to your teenage self?

View all responses

When I was teenager, one of my anxieties was what college should I go to, what should I study, what to do in life, what path should I take and all questions related.

I couldn’t figure out what I wanted in my 20’s and never found my passion, this took me some therapy sessions to understand it was ok, I had to find myself first in order to understand what path in life I should take.

So many things I could have achieved if I had the maturity of today, but this also it’s part of growing up, we learn with our mistakes there’s no turning back and do it again, once it’s done it’s done. But still I should have been kinder with myself while I was trying to live in this world younger.

Now I understand how much it’s important to take care of me in order to take care of others, not in a selfish way, not under a society judgement way, but in simple forms as, eating healthier in front of kids will give them a nice example to follow and makes me healthier also. Exercising with the kids is fun and they will like to do it while growing up (something I have never done when I was a teen).
