I remember when I was much younger, as a teenager; with raging hormones, pimples (soooo many), and the feeling of invincibility coursing through my veins. I was the superstar of my own story, but I was still very confused as to what that story actually was. I’ve discovered, like many of us out there, that there are a lot of things that could have helped me navigate my story and discovery much easier – if only I had heard them.
Well, to all the teenagers out there, we’re here to make
sure you DON’T miss out on that gift. These are the things every teenager needs
to hear – the truths in many dimensions.
1. Surprisingly, hard work is not everything.

| Surprising, right? |
But hard work IS important – because laziness will get you
nowhere. But sometimes you also need to work smarter.
On that note, tradition is also not everything. Learn new things and don’t assume
things about others when you’ve never met them, or if you met them first on a
bad day.
2. You will make mistakes.

A lot. With friends, with actions, with life choices at times. Not everybody
makes the same mistakes, and don’t even try to make them all. Learn from the
mistakes of others, and listen to those older than you – the good ones o, not
the bad ones. No matter what, always pick yourself up, because you can recover
from anything, no matter what it is, even if it seems like your world wants to
end. It’s okay to be wrong – as long as you accept your mistakes and learn from
it, and makeup for what you can.
