Advice to younger self

If given chance what would you advise to the younger version of self?

I would ask my younger self

to worry less and keep working, 

things will fall in the place once time is right. 

To trust not so easily, 

trust is like diamond,

don't give to everyone.

Make self a priority,

at last but not the least,

learn to appreciate self.

 

That is all about me, what about you?

On an aircraft the staff advise passengers to put their own safety so that they can then help others. Much wisdom in this poem, Anita. Thank you.

Thank you M. C. Newberry for posting comments. I feel making self priority is important because many times out of kindness we tend to neglect ourselves and just for sake of helping others, we spoil our mental peace. Which later spoils our terms with them. I would ask my younger self to have boundaries while staying kind.

There is undeniable logic in putting one's self first. Primarily, by
doing so it is possible to be in a position to help others. Those
who cry "selfish" are basically saying "You're not thinking of ME."
