This is a juicy one! Advice for Teenage Dreez:

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

  • Start hiking now—you’ll love it!
  • Keep your journals on a bookshelf—Vono is gonna flood the house with hot water when you move to Boston.
  • Get an external hard drive as soon as you get your first Macbook; back up all your stories.
  • Don’t get rid of your tongue ring just because Phil doesn’t like it, you’ll miss it at first—and Phil won’t be there forever.
  • Go out solo after you get into a relationship—you don’t like him that much.
  • The music you sneak into the club to dance to will be the music you wake up Sunday morning and clean the house to. And just as you suspected—Usher ft. Lil Jon and Ludacris will knock FOREVER. YEAH!
  • Start yoga now. It’ll change everything.
  • Everything else you did…was wild, but actually ends up being exactly what you need right now, so STAY BOLD. Keep being loud and (sometimes) wrong—you’ll never get tired of being scrutinized.
  • OH WAIT! Take vitamins and drink water now…those good genes start acting brand new as you face forty.

I’ll hold it down till you get here. 💕

Dreezy Loves You ❤️🖤💚
