Ask Yourself...

Cut ties with my mom, earliest possible, for good. And never look or go back no matter what. 

Go into therapy, and spend money on a shaman to heal me. 

Get myself a job or learn something proper

Live my best life, make all my decisions so that they are good for me. No matter what others say or think.

I wouldn't let fear stop me

Tell the truth

I would go to cosmetology school right after high school.

If I could start my life over, what I would do differently is be more gentle with myself. Most of my life I have sought perfection and strived to be the tough one or strong one. Always wanting to be right. Beating myself up for not being able to obtain these ridiculously high standards I set for myself that aren’t feasible or healthy. Yet, holding the bar so low for the people in my life; to avoid disappointment. I would allow myself the liberty to be wrong and make mistakes or ask for help when I needed it. I’d allow myself to say yes more to what would make me happy and do it unapologetically. I would be less forceful and more fluid. I’d pick me every time instead of putting myself on the back burner. I’d give myself the same optimism and understanding that I hand out so easily to everyone else. 

I would have quit my job earlier when I realized I didn't like it. This would have given me back more years of discovering things that actually excite me. Besides this, I would have sat down and talked with my ex-boyfriend sooner, so I wouldn't feel as guilty for breaking up out of nowhere like I do now. 

Nothing.

Be more minimalistic 

Find you earlier. Drink ayahuasca 

I would be less judgemental about other people's life choices and be more empathetic. I would spend more time with them, getting to know them better and hearing them out completely. I would share more of myself with others so I could connect with them better and let them see me. I would socialize more instead of being an island unto myself.
