We all know that growing up is tough. But if you could go back in time, what wisdom would you share with your teenage self? It all starts with two words. Dear Me. Great. Dear Lindsay Dear Lily Dear Bunny from long long ago Dear Me What's up? This is a letter from your much older, cooler, better-dressed self. I remember being you, and I remember it being really, really difficult. You're worried about a lot of things right now. The coarse black hair, the yellow skin. Your grades, your body Falling in love Dating, your body The color of our skin or not feeling black enough. You don't feel like you fit in anywhere now There was this one really mean girl who would just bully me constantly. Some of the people you thought were your friends are going to write mean things about you online. The ones that push you around and don't and don't make time, and treat other people poorly But I wanted them to like me and I wanted to be more like them I wish I could be like them And it was just silly because All those amazing different qualities you have, no one else has Embrace them. Experience them. Don't follow the crowd, and be who you want to be. Stop trying so hard to be someone you're not. Don't let anybody else Try to bring you down or make you second-guess yourself Stay who you are It's okay to be different. It doesn't make you a bad person. There is not one person on the face of the planet who can replace you You're gonna meet a version of yourself that you never know existed. So don't stress out too much about how you look or how cool you are. Just go for it. Be unique. Yes. I mean, look at you now. You're a huge weirdo. You're so different. People kind of like you. So go ahead and mess up big. Failure is not the end of the world. Don't be afraid of being afraid. Just be strong and be confident. You are good enough You always have been You've got lots of energy. You're bursting with life. And you can achieve whatever you want. But I have to say, the most important thing is to just have fun. Don't forget to laugh. Even with your braces. Confidence is key. You are unique. You are great You are magical #DearMe YouTube #DearMe What advice would you give your younger self? Make your own #DearMe GIF at youtubedearme.com
