I’m a writer based in South Wales, with an unhealthy obsession with stationery and baking. I mainly blog for my own sanity, but I’m also working on a novel. Still.

- You’re not supposed to be with him. Teenage angst exacerbated – ignore it.
- Yes, puberty sucks, but your periods will get better and your leg hair won’t grow so quickly.
- “Don’t take no sh*t off of nobody!”
- Your GCSEs won’t matter once you’ve got the A Levels, and they won’t count once you have a degree.
- Oh, but you’re going to apply for Maths and French A Level. Trade them in for Photography (you don’t know you love it yet), Psychology (you’ll get more interested in this in your 20’s), or something writing or conservation related. Trust me.
- Keep smiling! People love your smile and notice when it’s missing.
- Don’t give your time and emotions to people who surround you with negativity.
- Five years from now you won’t know your life without the internet.
- Make more of your summer holidays during your A Levels. Check out some paid – you’ll need the cash at Uni! – fruit picking (or similar) abroad – McDonalds may be convenient but that’s not everything.
- Your friends might not talk about popping the cherry, but it’ll come, and it’ll all be fine!
- Don’t move to Merry Hill!!!
- Tell B to avoid G.
- Keep cycling – your legs will look awesome in future years.
- Things and people change. Don’t dwell on lost connections – that’s life.
- Wax. Your. Eyebrows.

Getting married. An untimely death of a childhood friend. Family. Two solicitor hirings. My first house. A few things which have made me grow up a little in the last year. I had a pretty stable upbringing, a lucky child of loving, successful parents, but despite that, half a lifetime ago I was in a bit of a state. Feeling the pressure of exams and insignificant teenage life, I still have few regrets, but if I’d known a few things about life and the future, I would have had a smoother introduction into adult life.
Aside from the lottery results, here’s 15 things I wish I could tell my 15 year old self. Loads to look forward to – enjoy it!
