If I could tell my seventeen-year old self one thing, I would say to her
"Don't get too comfortable and to be aware of what's to come.
You enjoy what you do in 2019 but you should appreciate the child in you, more. That child within you filters a lot of things and it creates a barrier for you to hide within; it protects you for the most part. When you're eighteen, it'll be gone. The world is harsher in the glasses of an adult. Appreciate the child inside."
