Hey 18 year old, If you're stuck on how to reach independence at this age, know that it's best to focus on things one day at a time. No need to plan every single detail. Just focus on the first step, and work it out from there.

Hey 18 year old, If you're looking for ways to discipline yourself to be considered independent, look up some productivity or utility apps to help you become more organized. It's a great option if you lack an attention span, compared to doing it manually.

Hey 18 year old, Some people, whether friends, your partner or even family, will ALWAYS see something wrong with you no matter how hard they try. It's not you. It's them. You can win the Olympics, and they'll still be upset.

Hey 18 year old, If you dislike distressing scenes in movies or TV shows, look up the website doesthedogdie to see all the trigger warnings of media content. Just because you're legally an adult doesn't mean you have to watch that.

Hey 18 year old, Just because an abuser is calm and emotionless when being abusive doesn't make them less of an abuser. People can say the coldest things without any emotion, or beat people out without any feeling. It's just extra, extra creepy.

Hey 18 year old, If you're considering a date, focus on what you can offer rather than what another person can offer you all the time. If the answer is nothing, then that's your problem. Both sides of the couple should offer something, not just one.
