    You cannot control others thoughts or perceptions of yourself but you can control how they make you feel. You can choose to feel defeated or ugly whenever someone has a harsh word for you or calls you a name. Or you can choose hold you head up high and tell yourself that you are beautiful and amazing.

    Oh and to watch out for the pothole on the soccer field, its is a career ender..

    Dear 18-Year-Old Zoe,
    Good grades are nothing compared to good health! Please eat right and work out as much as you can. I know it's hard to stay fit in a wheelchair but you can do it! For goodness sakes, stretch and take some pressure off your tail every now and then! You won't fail those finals if you take a quick break from studying, just to fidget a bit. If anything, you'll do better since you won't have to risk your life and take two whole gap years to heal! I have to go to bed but I leave you with one final word of encouragement: trust your Higher Power! Treat yourself like the princess you are. He loves you and will help you with whatever you need. With His support, you can conquer that test anxiety!

    Alcohol has calories.
    Don't give four years to a guy who makes you feel like you're not good enough.
    You'll never wear those 4" stilettos. None of them.

    Know your worth. You are worth so much more than those losers that you give your time to. You can be just as lonely with someone laying beside you. Just because someone will have sex with you doesn't mean they will love you.

    Spend more time with your Daddy. Your parents are human too they make mistakes just like you do. They have hopes, dreams and fears. Just because they are your parents doesn't mean they know what they are doing. Just because they totally mess up doesn't mean they don't love you. I promise if you don't you will regret it.

    Put down the tweezers. The skinny eyebrow trend will end around 2010.

    Keep moving in some form of exercise, don't let yourself get more that 10 lbs overweight & check to see you don't have a metabolic problem & that is it just not from over eating & NEVER NEVER go into credit card debt. Credit is just like eating - it only takes a second but the effects are a long time.
    love from 66 year old me

    Marry Ken = good. He's still a keeper.
    It's ok to not have kids. Travel instead.
    But if you do don't work so damn much. They are little Kens since he raised them.

    I would say to my younger self don't go on silly fad diets you don't need to loose weight. You are healthy strong and physically fit. Don't listen to the media hype. Don't fall for the first man who gives you attention there are LOTS of men out there who will fancy you. Go out and see the world . experience different cultures the world doesn't exist just in your own backyard.

    Hind sight is 20/20....sometimes it's 20/15 ! Too many things to list. Let's just say with age comes much wiser choices but there is always room for growth no matter how old we get.

    Be brave and step out of the closet.... Just do it! Everyone will still love you and you won't spend most of your life struggling and worrying and being so unhappy and miserable...

    These people aren't your friends, you can make your way without them.
    I've only now at age 24 begun acting on this.

    Married too young; travel! delve into your art work deep; do NOT give a flying f about what other people think about you! It is your life to live no one elses. "Share yourself with others but give yourself to you" Montaigne
