To my 15 year old self…

On CNN, they posted advice inspiring women would give to their fifteen year old selves. Women like Melinda Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and other successful women encouraged their past selves to overcome adversity and look forward to a bright future. That made me wonder what I’d write to myself.

Dear 15 year old me, 

I know you’ve always secretly wished time travel were real so you could know how your life turns out. Well, so far life is amazing. You find yourself, your ambition, and love. Look forward to the future, don’t be scared! Be confident, never lose sight of who you are and the type of person you want to be. The career you want will change, but the person you want to be and the life you want to live will not. Just trust yourself, and I promise you’ll be okay.

What would your letters say? What do you wish you knew at 15?
