If you could talk/write to your younger self, what would you tell them?
I'd tell my teenage self my parents thought they made the right decision. Don't worry about the life experiences you miss out on from the choice they made, a person you meet because of that choice will become one of the most important people in your life. I'd also tell myself not to worry about people I think are talking to me just to be nice. Some of them are but they aren't important.
