To go back in time to talk to my teenage self. I would tell her to listen to her gut more. Do not ignore the gut feeling. You're more intuitive than you think.
You can't predict the future but you can tell something is wrong. You can tell when it's not the right time or place to be somewhere. You can tell when something is wrong for a family member. You don't know who it is which bites.
I would tell her choose wisely on who she allows in her life. Since one name you'll hate forever and a face you pray you never see again.
That person changed your trajectory in life.
They made your mental health worse.
You got out but the memories have stayed. I pray each day that the memories have less and less grasp on you. To not have flashbacks in intimate moments to feel "normal" again.
