Dear Young Me,
Don't count the blessings other people give you freely as if they are a debt you must repay. Instead, give your blessings freely to those who need them without expecting anything in return.

Dear Young Me,
Apologise nicely and smile sunnily. Nothing will ever annoy your boss as much as that!
-So much more relaxed older me.
Dear Young Me,

Dear Young Me,

-Another boy will love you.
Dear Young Me,
High five dude, the sacrifices you made have payed off. You established a balance between your own happiness and others. You'll like (most of) the journey (minus the crazy betch), and the destination, bro.
