What would say to your past self if you had the chance? What advice would you give yourself? I was sat on the tube home this evening, and this question popped into my head; "What would I say to 14year old me?". I thought about it on the journey home and I feel like it would have made growing up a lot easier, if 14 year old me could get some important advice from older me. It’s quite difficult to think about. I understand though, a part of growing up is to learn things on your own accord rather than someone telling you to do something. Nevertheless, there’s some advice I think I would have liked to have known. It’s been five years since I was 14 and I wouldn’t say I know everything but, from then to now, I have learnt a few things… 1. Time is a great healer.When I was around 14 my family life changed and in the moment it felt like the whole world was falling.Everyone at the time kept saying “oh through time it will get better” and I honestly couldn’t see it happening. But since then time has made the situation a little bit more bearable. So, little Lidia.. it will get better, time will help it to heal a tiny bit more.. A little throwback picture of my brother and I.. all the way back in 2012! 2. Don’t wish it away. When I was at secondary school, I would constantly think “I wonder what will my life be like when I get to 18?” “Will I get into sixth form?” “Will I get into university?” Etc etc. But you know what just live your life in the moment, and try not to wish it away. 3. Don’t worry about what people think. I was so conscious about what people thought of me, and I would not do things I really wanted to do purely because I was worried about others. I still have that now slightly, but doesn’t everyone. It’s okay to do things that people may not think you can do, just be yourself. A picture of me around that age... still in love with the Harry Potter series to this day. 4. Don’t be hard on yourselfI still do this now but not as much as I used to in school. Again be yourself and mistakes happen. That’s what makes you human, everyone makes mistakes. Try not to be hard on yourself. 5. Believe in yourself Believeeeee!! I alway doubted whether I could do something throughout school and most times it worked out okay! I regret now not being confident and thinking "hell yeah I can do this!". I still doubt myself sometimes but doesn't everyone?! All you need is confidence, do what you want to do and believe in yourself. Yes that is 15year old me... embarrassing or what? haha This post was a bit of a random one, but I wanted to share some thoughts on the advice I would give to my younger self. Also thought it would be funny to share some pictures of me at that age. Lidia xx Want to follow my Social Media?
