As a senior, I thought about my life struggles. What would I say to myself if I could time-travel back to a younger version of myself?

My torment from bullies started in middle school and influenced my life for a long time.

I trust younger people reading this post will find the two messages below helpful:

  1. It’s okay to be yourself: You have one chance at life why live it according to other people’s expectations?
  2. Mistakes are learning opportunities: You are going to make mistakes in life. Don’t beat yourself up about them. Learn from them.

This story was inspired by A Taste for Life’s Monthly theme “September’s Daily Whispers.” The prompt for 5 September is, “What advice from the future will you share with your younger self?”
