What advice would you give your younger self?

Here are my thoughts, in no particular order…

❤️ Make saving money and creating financial security a priority. This will give you the freedom you crave to travel, explore, learn and be spontaneous! 

❤️ Don’t get hung up on body parts that you feel aren’t perfect. Honestly, no-one even cares about your body shape, thigh dimples, whether your skin is evenly tanned or if you have any stray bikini hairs! And if anyone judges, that’s their story, their perception, their thoughts and it has nothing to do with you. So, enjoy the moment, wear the shorts and live life to the fullest! 

❤️ Don’t buy cheap fashion. It doesn’t last – either in quality or ‘trendiness’. It’ll either fall apart or you’ll get bored. All that money you spend on clothes could help you buy a house or travel the world.

❤️ Never put off the things you really want to do; all those things you’ve talked about for years and years, maybe even for your whole life! Learn the language, book the flights. Just do it! 

❤️ Spend more time getting to know your grandparents and your parents as adult human beings. Find out what really lights them up, the dreams they had and all the things they still want to do. 

What would you add to your list?
