Advice to my (almost) 18 year-old self

you don’t have to be interesting

you don’t have to go to a prestigious college to be worthy

(and when you drop out spectacularly it doesn’t define you)

because it doesn’t work that way

you have a voice

use it

you have so much time to prove yourself

(but not to anyone else)

you have years ahead of you to achieve your dreams

if you don’t have dreams yet, keep living

you don’t need all the answers

because you don’t have all the answers

you do you, boo
