If I could go back and tell my teen self something, I’d say: “Don’t be afraid to embrace who you are. It’s okay to make mistakes; they’re part of the journey. Focus on your passions and values rather than trying to fit in. The friendships you build now may change, but the right ones will stick around and enrich your life. Remember to prioritize your mental health, seek help when you need it, and know that it’s perfectly fine to change your mind about your future. Keep learning and growing; you are capable of more than you realize!”
