10 things I would like to tell my 15 year old self about life
© Britta SabbagOf course, there is a lot of advice I would give to my young, really sexy self. I see this fifteen-year-old girl right in front of me. So unsure if it? Right? Is it enough? is. So angry, because it does not know where to go, because nobody understands it. So sad, because it can not share his thoughts, it could be ridiculous. So brave, because at the end of the day it does what it wants and not what others like to see.
In the end "it all works out"
Above all, I would tell this girl that everything will be fine. Although I do not like this expression (because what does it mean? Good ??), but in German there is not much else. Maybe the Bavarian "it goes out", that fits better, or as you would say in English: it all works out.
And then there are those 10 lessons that I might have learned theoretically rather than practical:
1. Never go to the Cologne Cathedral with a transparent crochet top!
Because yes, you can fly out there (and the line of argument that Adam and Eve were naked, unfortunately not convincing)
2. Never date secret signs with guys (black jeans for kisses with tongue) if you're forgetful.
Bad timing! (P.S .: You will stay forgetful!)
3. Do not stop writing diary.
So you can see your dreams in black and white and follow them step by step. Write them down over and over, then they become what you do and then your reality.
4.Don't be persuaded that something is impossible.
It is impossible in the minds of others because they do not see what you see. Only you know what you are capable of. Do it.
5. It could be that brown Lipliner has never had its time.
6. The others are not safer or smarter than you.
They just hide it better. Always remember, when you feel small, you are not.
7. In the moments when you are truly undisguised and with every consequence you, you win.
8. Go with your stomach when he screams.
The head can be wrong, the belly never, because he talks with the heart.
9. It may be that self-tanners have never worked.
10. Love does not find you in the big moments.
She does not come in great robes, and not when you wait for her in perfect shape. It comes when you wake up with fever, croaking, unvarnished and with unwashed hair in the morning and look into loving eyes.

© FJBImagine receiving a letter from your future self. Would you read it?
That's not a question for Gesine. Of course she would. Because after the death of her mother she has to move alone to a relative in Ireland. In the small, sleepy village of Blackwood, she has no one to talk to her about her grief. Nor about Arian Mary, the outrageously handsome son of the local butter dynasty. In addition, they make the villagers crazy with stories about all sorts of supernatural stuff. All nonsense, thinks Gesine. Until she finds in a mysterious old desk a letter from her future self, which confuses her world ...
