The next few years will be tough. You will go through things sooner than you ever anticipated. Some of these things will be out of your control, and that lack of control will make you spiral and make detrimental decisions because they feel like control. But it’s an illusion. Each time you think you’ve regained control, the consequences of your choices will hit, causing yet another loss of it. Step back and really consider things before you leap. Make sure there are logical reasons behind the emotional decisions you’re tempted to make.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PDtdg9CMw
My mother’s favorite quote was—and still is—“to be a duck.” Let the water glide off your feathers. Let go of the things you cannot control; let minor inconveniences pass. However, after years of attempting that method, I can confidently say: we are not ducks. That negative energy lingers. It morphs into other forms of unpleasantness if left to fester. You must redirect the negativity before it takes root and becomes your inner monologue.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rBwBcMJGA
One way you try to redirect it is by helping people, but you tend to support the wrong ones. Instead of fixating on being the person who is always there for people who don’t want to improve their lives, go make a difference where it matters. Volunteer at a local shelter or a nursing home. Be more involved in your community. Maybe then that people‑pleasing tendency—and the lack of boundaries that will get you into trouble later—won’t be as damaging.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XZ9cbQbXw
Speaking of boundaries: learn how to set them. You’ve gotten yourself into more uncomfortable predicaments than I care to mention simply because you couldn’t say a two‑letter word. Things will happen that haunt and torment you for months—some of them for years. Your mental health needs you to say “no” more often. Your future relationships will suffer from the lack of boundaries you set now. You will be better off in the long run if you hold onto that “no‑bullshit” attitude that hits when you’re around fourteen. That version of you will keep you safe and alive in this world.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i2RhGOz1D
Don’t let yourself lose her just because you feel alone. That loneliness never truly goes away, but that fourteen‑year‑old version of you did.
