Cheers to 28!

What I’d tell 18 year old me now… I’ve thought about this a bit since I turned 28, so here are some of the things I would go back to tell my younger self:

- Try to stop overthinking and take time to get to know what you like.

- Eat what you want to, you are not overweight.

- Get back into the hobbies that made you excited as a kid. Crocheting, roller skating, and so much more!

- It’s okay to outgrow friendships.

- High school was not the vibe, but you’ll love college and get into grad school too.

- Social media (aka BookTok) is going to help rediscover your love for reading.

- It’s okay to pursue teaching and not choose a career for the money.

- Don’t cut your hair short, you won’t like it.

- You will always be an artist.

- Success isn’t determined by how much art you sell.

- You can be happy and live differently from others.

- Don’t worry, you’ll move out of Ohio! But you’ll end up moving back for family.

- Most importantly, it’s okay to set boundaries 🤍
