If I could, or have the opportunity to see and talk to my 16yrs old self again. I'll tell her there is no time, the earlier you rise the better, time is money and every time wasted never comes back.
I tell calm down, be highly free, be more friendly, more happy and let nothing bother, I tell her that life is not a bed of roses, but play with it......I mean have a child-approach towards it, but be hardworking
Engage in sports communicate more, be friendly and jovial to everyone and have a child like approach towards life. But be highly hardworking and persistent in building yourself up.

39 days agoIf I could sit down with my 16-year-old self, I wouldn’t shout at her. I’d just hold her hand and say…
"Hey, breathe. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. You’re not behind. Life is not a competition. Everything will happen in its own time."
I’d tell her that…
- Not all friendships will last, and that’s okay. Some people are just passing lessons.
- Comparison will steal your joy, so stay focused on your own lane.
- Money doesn’t come overnight — but if you’re consistent, patient, and smart, it will come. Just like konnect, it takes time, patient amd consistency.
- Most importantly: you’re enough, just as you are.
I’d remind her that heartbreak won’t hurt her. That no one’s opinion should define her. That *discipline will take her further than motivation ever could*.
And maybe… I’d hug her a little longer.
