22 Pieces Of Advice For Every Girl Trying To Find Her Place In The World

Know that the only person who can save you is you. Be your own hero.

By

1) Go places. See the world. You’ll be glad you did.

2) Date boys who make you laugh. Date boys who are happy and who share that happiness with you.

4) Call your mom everyday and tell her you love her.

5) If you want to eat an entire chocolate cake at midnight with your best friends, do it. It’s not going to kill you.

6) Volunteer. Do good in the world because, it is so much more fulfilling than anything else you could imagine.

7) Go on a run after a stressful day and blast your favorite music. You’ll be surprised at how much better you’ll feel.

9) Make mistakes. Get three ear piercings you don’t need, dye your hair red, embrace the period of time in your life when you’re trying to figure out who you are. You have a lot more time to regret silly mistakes than you do to actually live them.

10) Sing at the top of your lungs on long, solitary car rides just because you can.
