Angelina, your books sound like they will resonant with everyone’s experience in life – great to write books that appeal to such a wide audience. I would tell myself to try to be happy with who I am, stop being so painfully shy and just talk to people. Lighten up!

Wow, you are a very busy and productive person with bright future. If I could tell my younger self anything, I think I would say, live in the now and don’t be so afraid to fail! Try to get into RISD…go for it (I didn’t). Be proactive instead of reactive and don’t wait until you’re 50 to have that surgery.

If I told my younger self half the things that have happened in my life, she would definitely never believe me. But I think she’d be really proud and relieved to know that things did get better, even if some things got worse, LOL.

You have accomplished so much at a young age. It sounds like you are handling stress with your writings and music. It is ok though to take a day for a walk in the woods and just find peace.
Your writings do sound amazing, will add you to my lists of authors.

Thank you so much Leslie! Creative pursuits definitely help me a lot. But I am working on taking better care of myself and resting more. Funny how that can be the toughest thing sometimes!

What an impressive resume at such a young age.
I would tell myself to be less stressful, that despite life’s ups and downs, it will mostly turn out okay.
