Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. And I thought to my self you’re not far off.. Actually I’m 43 this year, but I feel as though I’m not far off. So to my 100 year old self, I hope you have no regrets, you always made decisions based on the right choices and you

Alone

She told him to leave To see him was painful Her heart was breaking She couldn’t see how years of the same behaviour could be forgiven Her life was now a whirling torrent of disarray Loneliness and longing for that one person you wanted to love and trust forever Being alone was better surely The

Stop Listening To Course Advice from Parents

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I feel the biggest mistake I made as a teenager was being led in my career and courses by my parents. I wanted to join the army, I really wish I had. I also wanted to study French, Art and Art History and go to university
