Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh, never mind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded - but trust me: in 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it: it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.

Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your living room.

my favourite bits from Baz Luhrmann’s Everybody’s Free (to wear sunscreen) The things I think every day. Nice one Nic x
