Age 13-yesterday
1. Always, always trust your own instincts and know you make good choices.
Age 19
2. Take the time to vocalize your feelings to others, especially him. Let your true voice be heard and show your personality. I know you love him but you don't realize how you are losing yourself by being so enamored with another. Go on and get life girlfriend. I want to see you shine and love yourself first.
Age 20
3. Go to Eastern Europe after the main trip is over. Or, better yet, go to Greece with some other people and then go on your own to Poland and Prague. Borrow money from the parents and go because you don't know when you'll ever get back to Europe. Who cares how you'll pay it back. Nothing is more important than this moment, now.
Age 25
4. Don't go to grad school right now. Take more time off. Trust that you'll probably go back to it when the time is right. Don't worry so damn much about always succeeding in the eyes of others and doing the "right" thing. I know you want to get it "over with" to some extent but you are not emotionally doing well. I see you and I'm not seeing you smile as much as I'd like. You are a success now and you will find a path where you do well with or without grad school. There are many types of lives out there. You can create one that's right for you.
Age 25-27
5. Go see a psychiatrist or seek out a mental health professional. I know you do not know exactly how to get help but try something. You are not okay right now at all, and you are seriously living in a tunnel without seeing any sight of the opening. You don't have a healthy lifestyle and you are really unaware of how you are treating yourself and how much you are clinging to keeping busy with work and school. I'm so worried about you. I can see how no one else knows how hurt you are right now. Please stop everything and go find someone to help you. Let yourself spill out and tell someone anything going on with you. I wish you knew you were already so brave and you never give yourself enough credit. You can stop and help yourself now.
