Typepad asks:
If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a teenager, what three things would you tell yourself?
My dear teenage self,
I would love to tell you (though I am completely certain you will not believe me on any of this, because you must learn it for yourself) that:
1) You are not fat. No, you are not.
2) As you grow up, things will matter less. Everything will not be the end of the world.
3) Yes, you will have friends. Always.
Love, Your Grown Up Self
