What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

I just wrote a blog about puberty! 🤣
However, there’s always more! So much more. I will attempt to be succinct! Wish me luck!
Thoughts not advice
I know better than to try to put an old head on young shoulders. Life experience is of limited use in a changing world, and the world has never moved so fast in as many wrong directions at once.
- Trust yourself to know what’s best for you
- Rebellion is sometimes necessary to save yourself. Used in the form of quietly walking away.
- If people are horrible to you they are just being themselves. It’s nothing to do with you, you’re just the target.
- When possible walk away from any situation where you and the person or others involved do not have a respectful relationship.
- Don’t take your self image from anyone else.
- Don’t let anyone tell you who you are, find out for yourself.
- If you decide you have a weakness, own it, change it.
- Focus your life on happiness and fun. It is possible to bring both into every area of normal life.
- If you lose someone you love, they will always be a part of you, you will carry them with you to the end of your life. Honour them by healing and living a good life. Love never dies.
- If you hate your career change it. We don’t thrive in the wrong places.
- Smile at yourself in the mirror everyday and say I love you. Because you should love you.
- Only human isn’t a cliché it’s a statement of fact, and that includes you.
- If you need help seek it, not seeking help is the weakness.
- Treat pets as precious or don’t have them.
- Travel broadens the mind. it’s a wonderful world full of incredible people.
- They’re not out to get you, whomever ‘they’ are. If you’re not rich and had a hard start in life, change that. Only you can hold you back.
- Love as much as you can, everyone that you can, every animal, your people, your country. But leave space for others, no country is more special than any other.
- Skin colour is just gift wrap, prejudice could cost you the love of your life, your best friend forever, a terrific job, to refuse life saving treatment. We are all the same within, don’t judge by colour.
- There are 16 different genders, male and female are only appearances, genes and hormones don’t care about that. You shouldn’t either.
- If you’re going to have a child, love it, be there for it, work on your relationship, or use contraception. Children can’t protect themselves from adults.
I could go on, but that will do.
Best love

P.S. I didn’t mention money because it’s a nice to have, but it doesn’t define you.
