What would I say to my youngest version

Gigliola in a lavanda field, Sale San Giovanni, Italy

Don’t settle for less

Smile if you feel like it,

Cry if you feel like it,

Speak loud, no matter what they say

Express your feelings

You don’t need to be “strong” in order to not get hurt

Life is short, don’t pay attention to others’ opinions,

You are capable of everything and anything

Shine your own way

Continue to be unique, someone will appreciate it

You’re doing fine

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Love deep,

Never stop creating,

Keep fighting for what is right and what you want.

Be who you like to be, they will speak either way

The first step to happiness is loving yourself.
