Advice to My Younger Self
Dear younger me,
You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Trust the journey, because every detour will teach you something you’ll need later.
- Don’t shrink yourself. Fear of rejection will make you play small, but the truth is, rejection is just redirection. Keep going.
- Believe in your vision. Even when others don’t see it yet, hold on tight. Your intuition is louder than their doubts.
- Partnerships matter. Choose people who share your values and work ethic—it will save you pain and give you strength.
- Take risks. Failure isn’t the end, it’s feedback. Learn quickly, pivot gracefully, and keep building.
- Prioritize yourself too. Patience, grace, and rest are not luxuries—they’re fuel for the long game.
One day you’ll look back and see that everything you thought was breaking you was actually preparing you.
With love,
Your older, wiser self
