“what I would tell myself” in ten acts

I.

It's love.

Stop trying to deny it, to escape it, to make it up.

It's love.

You know, you should've loved her earlier. Then you would have had the pleasure of being near her all the time, the pain of being separated.

But you loved him, so I guess that's okay.

It's the same, right?

Don't try anything forward, though. In two years he'll forget about being scared of you, enjoying your presence, and you in general.

She'll remember up until today.

You're the only one who can make her happy, so start today.

II.

Push her away.

It's the girl who bugs you, day and night. It's the girl who thinks you're her best friend, when, really, she has no friends.

Push her away until she moves in a year.

Then you'll be rid of her, finally.

III.

Scream.

Scream your words out, let them flow

It's good for you, y'know

Stop trying to keep everything all in

The only way to conquer is to win

IV.

Take some personality tests. Real ones.

It'll help you.

V.

Go study a map. Then you can beat tests.

And make your teacher be in awe of you, not that she's not already.

VI.

Try to maintain your sense of self. If you don't, two years later you will wonder if you even had one. Or maybe you've just never thought about that. Try to figure it out.

VII.

Read more, write more.

VIII.

Sing already, goddamnit. Find your voice and start singing like a pro.

IX.

Try to get some treatment, if you know what I'm saying. If you don't, go take a mental issue test.

X.

Finally, just...never stop doing what you do.

Never.
