That’s kind of a scary thought. Still don’t feel ready to be an adult, but that’s what my 20s are for I guess. I just want to reflect on being a teenager. A lot of times, it sucked, but it was also awesome. I made great friends, like really, just fantastic people. I gained a lot of responsibility. I learned about myself and just the world in general. If you are or have been a teenager, there were probably times where you felt like the loneliest person in the world, but I can tell you that that will change. You can overcome those moments, you might just need a fresh perspective. Remember you have friends, and even if you don’t feel like you can talk to them about it, you will be surprised by their ability to come through for you. There will be times where you fail, and that’s fine, it happens, it will never be the end of the world. You just have to keep trying. There are times where you feel like someone broke your heart. That will probably happen well into your years, but you learn to cope and you will probably find someone for you. There are times where you feel like what you want is unobtainable and times when you realize you don’t want that anymore. Again, just keep trying, either to get what you want, or find what it is that you want. There’s a point where you think your parents are the two most oppressive people in the world. They’re not. You will probably be a pessimist at some point. That doesn’t make you any deeper, smarter, more brooding than an optimist, so try not being so negative. To sum this all up, you just need to keep trying.

Life is good. Life is bad. You learn to live with it, and make the best of it. 

edit: Oh, and fuck what other people think of you. Be a good person for yourself.
