Advice to Chelsea at 16:
1. Remember that innocent girl with big dreams, an even bigger heart, and a hell of a lot of potential? Don't forget about her. Don't trick yourself into thinking that a number on a scale, attention from a guy, or a fake escape from reality is worth more then losing that girl.
2. Stop looking in the mirror so much. The more time you spend trying to make yourself prettier on the outside the uglier your becoming on the inside. Dont ever stop eating and do all you can to keep it down. You might think its working for you now and that your in control but in two years when your so lost and unhappy and realize that a size double zero pants and weighing under 100 pounds doesn't make people treat you better or like you more youll be wishing more than anything you never let yourself go down such a bad path.
3. Don't leave it up to others to make you happy, because in a few years you will realize that to some extent they'll all let you down...some a lot more than others. Become better friends with the ones who don't use you or take you for granted. Not the ones you think are cooler or you want to be more like. Youll end up seeing you mean nothing to them and wondering why you ever wanted to be like them in the first place.
4. Don't regret going out with him. He was your first love and even though he screwed you over, got you back, then did it again doesnt mean you have to stab him in the back too. He doesnt realize how much he's hurting you or how bad he's making you feel about yourself. Its was the first time youve ever given all your heart to someone but that doesn't meanit has to be your last. Don't let him be the only one who gets to see the real you. The real you that isn't selfish, doesn't cheat, and only looks for the good in people. Just because he hurt you doesn't mean you have to be the first one in all your future relationships to do the hurting for fear of it happening again. Don't be scared to be vulnerable or risk putting your trust in someone. You'll miss out on a lot of good relationships and let a lot of people down if you shut off your heart.
5. Since I'm telling you all the things you shouldn't be doing, how about I tell you some things that you should maybe start. Do what makes you happy, ultimately your own happiness is gonna do a lot more for you than anyone else's. Grow some confidence. You know your smart. Who cares if you come across as not so bright sometimes. You know you have a good head on your shoulders sometimes you just kind of forget to use it. Stick up for yourself. People wont put you down so much if you make it clear to them how much it gets to you. Keep writing. It's always been something you've been good at and you shouldn't let it go to waste. Keep creating things. You were born with an artistic eye and put more thought into things then a lot of people do.
6. You wont let all that potential go to waste if you don't let yourself get so caught up things that don't matter. Sure, the drugs will seem like the magic answer to all your problems at first. You will have some real good nights, they'll make you feel more confident, you'll think you have more friends, you'll lose weight...but it wont last. Don't let yourself get to the point where you don't want to go a day without them for fear of facing the person you've turned into. They can make you do things you will regret, people will take advantage of you, you'll find yourself constantly letting people down and trying to dig yourself out of holes you'd never think you would get yourself into. You'll become self-centered and trade all your friends with morals in for ones only out for a good time. Sure, you can turn yourself around if you do get carried away, but wouldn't it be nice not to have to go to countless counseling sessions and have your life be put under a huge microscope?
7. Just try your hardest to like yourself for you and don't let anyone or anything stand in the way of that for the world. You are pretty..on the inside and out no matter what anyone says. Follow your heart and one day youll find that everything works out the way it should. Don't let yourself go to waste and don't give up its never to late to turn yourself around.
