- Do NOT pick a guy over friends.
- Always put your needs before the needs of anyone else.
- Do NOT stay with a guy if he does not treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
- You can set and meet ANY goal you set your mind to.
- If you question something, listen to your intuition. You doubt yourself now, but you will get so much better about listening to that inner voice later in life.
- It may not feel like it now, but you WILL have an amazing family and husband.
- Your interest in true crime (read: Jeffrey McDonald case) will continue so much so that your friends call it your “special interest.”
- Your need for things to be “in the right place” will never go away. Sorry.
- You will learn to stand up for yourself and take no bullshit from anyone. And that will feel amazing.
- Those childhood dreams of becoming a veterinarian/lawyer will play out in a way you could never anticipate.
