A message to all teenagers: stop wishing. Live in the present, not wishing you were older. Boyfriends and girlfriends can wait. Falling in love can wait. You are only 15, 16, 17. You have your whole life to be an adult. And so let all the scary things go. You look perfect, so stop messing with your hair. It’s only going to stand up for one day. Makeup isn’t always good. Take at least one day, just one day, to notice everything around you. And how wonderful life is. Go outside. See what you are missing, and I promise you, you are missing something. Stop worrying that someone spread a rumor about you or your crush doesn’t like you back. That tiny moment doesn’t run your life. You run your life. Enjoy it. Love being a teenager. It’ll be the best part of your lives.
THIS.
I sincerely hope this isn’t the best part of my life.
