Love at 16......is there anything as wonderful and as heartbreaking at the same time?
When I was sixteen my parents were going through a divorce so my life was upside down and I took it out on some of the guys I dated. So here is a little note to my sixteen year old self:
Dear Jill,
You are beautiful, funny and loved. It may not seem like life will ever be better but trust me it will. Yes your father is an asshole and it will take you years to come to terms with him but not every guy in the world is like him. There are guys out there that will love you just for being you.
Don't be afraid to open up and let people see what you're feeling. You don't have to be strong all the time. You have some good friends and they will stand by you through it all. They will inspire you in later years.
Now lets talk about the hair choices you're going to make.........DO NOT GO BLONDE!!! It is a really bad idea just don't do it!
There are some good guys in your future...... unfortunately you won't realize how good a few of them are before throwing them away. Give them a chance and you will be surprised what could happen.
But everything will end up fine and you will have two beautiful daughters to show for it. They will be the joy in your life.....you just have to live through it!
Now you can win an ARC of my upcoming release Walk Into Me.

What I would tell my 16 year old self would be...don't settle you deserve better.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up on your dreams. You will get there, but no need to take the long, scenic route. Stay true to your heart and your ideas.
ReplyDeleteYou ain't gonna stay pre-med. So much more out there than that ... may not pay as much, but then you won't have to hire someone to deal with insurance companies!! Be open to the possibilities when they arise.
ReplyDeleteAndrew you are the winner!! Please send me your email address and I will get the ARC right out to you!
DeleteHave more fun
