things i learned while 17

christiescloset:

in honor of turning 18 today, here is a list of things i realized while being young and (sort of) stupid


  • if ever nervous, count to 5. before 4, you’ll be walking over
  • don’t be fucking naive
  • don’t be ashamed of your desires
  • being genuine will get you further than anything else
  • smile, act happy, though you may not feel like it. suddenly, you will
  • stop saying ‘i’m done’. no, you’re not
  • curse, be funny, laugh at yourself. at least you’ll get a smile somewhere
  • if you get a bad vibe off of someone, leave. and vice-versa
  • do not do ANYTHING to please someone else
  • you’ll have ugly weeks, pretty days. perfection doesn’t exist. chill. flaws are raw
  • everything does feel surreal. but you’re not alone
  • don’t ever feel bad for falling in love too fast. it’s like apologizing for having too big of a heart.

Hey christiescloset, i’m turning 17 in a month. thank you for this
