What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

Hey there,
Here are a few things I’ve learned.
First, you can’t buy love by doing everything for everyone else. Taking responsibility for their problems, always being the one who fixes things, and putting yourself last won’t make someone love you more. It doesn’t work.
Work hard for what you want, even if you aren’t quite sure yet what you want your future to look like. Give 110% to learning new skills and trying new things. Some won’t work out. That’s okay. You learned something.
Don’t listen to the naysayers who tell you that you can’t do something. You may fail the first time. You may fail more than once. Keep learning. Keep trying. Do your best and see where it takes you.
Most importantly, love yourself, no matter what anyone else says.
That may be the hardest lesson of all.
Life will be tough sometimes. People will disappoint you. Plans will fall apart. You’ll make mistakes.
But you’ll handle it.
And one day, you’ll look back and realize just how much you were capable of all along.
