<\/p>\n
Dear Former Self Age 21<\/p>\n
I know you like how it feels not to feel but baby please, don\u2019t say yes. Just when he offers it, say no.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dear Former Self Age 26<\/p>\n
Even when it\u2019s the furthest thing from being okay, it\u2019s going to be okay<\/p>\n

Dear Former Self Age 29<\/p>\n

Dear Former Self Age 33<\/p>\n
