Turning 14

First off, happy birthday. You made it. You're finally 14. The only piece of advice I have for you is to take every opportunity. Don’t let what others may think, influence your choices. You’re only 14 once. Because when you look back, do you really want to regret things you hadn’t done? Sure, maybe you shave half of your head, and even if you regret it at that moment, you can still look back and say, “yes, I really did that”. Maybe you end up wearing an outfit that is fashionably questionable, but the thing is, you DID it, rather than sitting back. Take control of your life, your world, and live it. Don’t live your life for anyone else but yourself. Secondly, (yes, I lied, I have more than one piece of advice) don’t bully others. Be kind. Smile as much as you can. Make a strong group of friends that love you for who you are. Also, I know you won’t always feel like this, but you are beautiful. I know there will be days where you break down, and you hate yourself and the world, but remember you are stronger than you know, you’ll get back up. Happy 14th Birthday, make it the best one yet.
