What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?

Here are 10 things I wish I could tell my 20-year-old self:

  1. No one older than you has “it” figured out.
  2. Following your interests is just as important as getting a job.
  3. You’ll never regret your creative projects.
  4. Friendships will come and pass you by, even when it feels like they’ll be there forever.
  5. Standing up for yourself is a skill to be practiced, and you should never apologise for doing so.
  6. Managing money seems hard, but it’s simply a game of what do I prioritise right now.
  7. Failure is the goal, because without it, you achieve nothing.
  8. The stories are so important to your regulation and healing, whether in music, books, films, art.
  9. Community and being with people is key to health.
  10. Exercise doesn’t have to be extreme, just move your body.
