Dear Younger Self

If I could speak to my younger self, I would tell her:

• There’s no need to rush anything. It will all happen for you.
• Some mistakes are worth making – like loving.
• Kiss him.
• A lot of the arguments you’ll have in your relationship aren’t because he didn’t love you. They happened because he didn’t know how to explain himself in a way that you would understand.
• He really does love you. Stop doubting it.
• Eat before discussing a big topic, you’ll both be nicer to each other that way.
• When you’re both angry with each other, remind him that you love him (this applies to children too).
• A hug can solve a lot of problems.
