Advice you would have given to yourself...

when you were younger?

This is brought on by me having so many frames and photos! The digital age did not come fast enough for me and going through pictures I can't seem to throw out.  I now have a stack of frames and realize what a fortune I spent on them .

I also would have told myself to be in more of the pictures, lol.

I would have told myself that it's okay to be the weird one. I felt like I was always on the outside of groups looking in, because no matter what I just didn't quite fit with any of them. I would definitely tell my younger self it's okay to be a bit quirky.

Ohh, and having a teddy bear as an adult is absolutely okay. There is nothing wrong with it, despite what my uncle told me when he kept taking my bear from me.

Yes to the teddy bear. I have loads of stuffed animals. I somewhat embarrassingly sleep with one since H gets so hot at night we have enough room to put a third person between us. In a full bed, no less. My parents think my stuffed animals are odd and I told H to bring me one in the hospital a few weeks ago. He went out of his way to get a special brand one actually which surprised me. My parents were visiting. Mom thought it was weird, I think I'm still 5 to my dad. He goes "here comes (h)! And he beought you a friend!" So excited.lol

I agree dorothyinAus, I wish I had been more okay with being a bit quirky. I would tell my 20 yr old self to stop worrying about what people think - go with your gut. And stop dating assholes - you are better off alone.
