i’m a sucker for articles featuring advice to your younger self. this collection from thought catalog is no different. 21 people were asked to give counsel to their 19-year-old selves and the results were, as expected, pretty great. below are my favorite:
Megan, 34

Donald, 27

Anya, 42

and just because it’s hilarious:
Isaac, 48
