Do you ever wonder what life would have been like in the past if you knew some of the things you know now? What if there was a little voice in your head that gave you a "heads up" on what to expect or how to react to things. If you could tell your "past self" things that your "present self" now knows, what would you say?
Things I would have told myself:
1) Me at 15: Krysta please do not try to hang out with the "Asian Crowd" they really are not your friends; stop talking on your cellphone at night, YOU DON"T HAVE FREE NIGHTS IDIOT!
2) Me at 16: Ok so I know you like him right now, and it seems like you"love him" but really 9 years from now you will laugh at yourself and say "what was I thinking"
3) Me at 18: don't have an expensive debut, and don't stress over it, it'll turn out ok/ You will loose your best friend this year... be strong and know that you will learn from the situation, don't cry because in the end you will have all your true friends/ You will meet your "family" your "sisters" in college, treasure every minute you have with them.
4) Me at 19: Be honest with the guy... Just tell him you're a different person now. Don't lie about it, you'll end up loosing a really good friend/ AND STOP IT HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND/ take that alcohol out of your closet, mom's going to find it/ Be brave with Nanay, she will fight and she will not stop fighting.
5) Me at 20: Spend time with Poppy... He's not going to be here much longer.
6) Me at 21: You will have the best unexpected romance of your life this year have fun with it! The accent will win you over :)
7) Me at 22: You will experience one of the worst heartbreaks of your life this year, it will be one crazy rollercoaster ride with this guy but a year or two from now you won't regret experiencing the ride, you'll be stronger because of it/ Spend more time with your roommates, you'll regret it later if you don't/ Take advantage of your last year in San Diego you will miss it a lot/ try to be there for mom, she's going through a really really rough time.
8) Me at 23: You will go through the hardest transition of your life this year, stay close to friends and family because they will keep you through it. And don't pout over the loss, if he couldn't take you at your worst, he doesn't deserve you at your best
I like getting to the point where I can just laugh at my mistakes...
