#96: If you could tell your 16-year-old self something, what would it be?

Two things:

First, being a nerdy kid who reads everything you can get your hands on is the best thing that you could ever do in your life. Keep it up.

Second, I promise that there will be a time when you don’t hate yourself or your life. You will love your life and every single aspect of it. You’ll be so happy, it’ll boggle your mind because you didn’t know it was possible to be so happy. You’ll wake up every morning excited about the day. You’ll love who you are, you’ll be confident in yourself & your abilities, and you’ll go on to do great things. Just hold on. It gets so much better.

Love you.
Mean it.
