If someone gave you the chance to go back to the age of, say, 16 and tell your future self something, what would it have been? Mine are: * study for your bloody Leaving Cert. * take that summer waitressing job in South Africa you're going to be offered next year * don't waste three of the best years of your life on a…

You are not fat and ugly... why are you letting that bad teethed, no lipped, sticky outty eared girl and that tall, scrawny, big nosed girl you call friends let you feel that way.
ditch those 'friends' now.. your better than them.
dont be so shy and talk to more people.
dont worry about not shifting loads of boys
stand up for yourself a bit more
stop being so parnoid - not everyone is thinking/talking about you half as much as you think.

to my 17 year old self
dont wear your hair like that to the debs!

to my 21/22 year old self

you are stunning - you have learned how to do your makeup and got a sense of style. stop worrying that your not wearing 'on trend' clothes and makeup that would never suit you, stick with what suits you.
you are NOT fat
stop letting your friend make you feel bad just to make herself feel better, she is just jealous of you being thinner and not having slept with half the county.
Dont let that controlling friend control you so much, you are your own person
Dont worry about being a virgin and not slept around.
move to the town where you work and get away from the town and people where you socialise.
Travel and travel
dont get so drunk
What are you doing with that compulsive liar and idiot?
why did you kiss that compulsive liar that night after you got away from him and you seen the way your 'friend' is looking at him, you know whats coming in a week or two, dont be so surprised. you had a close shave with that guy he is bad news.

to my 23 year old self
change jobs now, your boss isnt that good at her job and you have learnt all she has to teach by now. she never will promote you and its not because you are not able for the job
dont obsess over him he is not worth it and he gets some yolk pregnant in a few months and you meet someone who actually cares for you. you would never be happy with him anyway coz you would never trust him and you only want what you cant have!

to my 25 year old self

stop eating crap and excerise more coz you will actually be fat
think about the position of your house and shed on your site.. you know his hobbies...

to my 29/30 year old self
watch out for your little sister, she really really needs help around now

I believe that the path you have taken makes you who you are today and part of me wouldn't tell me anything because I would not experience all the good things that have happened to me and got me to where I am today
