1. Keep riding your bike.

2. Don’t rush these times. You have plenty of time to be an adult.

Don’t wish your way out of your home town. One day you’ll love it.

Focus on school. Boys this age are too immature.

Read lots of books.

Don’t let anyone push you around. You’re strong

Make friends that will be your friends for life. The friends who will be in your wedding, the ones who are cheering you on when you’re doing great. The ones who call you out when you make a mistake. Real friends. Make lots of friends. The friends who help you be the best version of yourself. They build you up, not tear you down.

Most importantly,Make room for God. Without Him, you’ll miss out on the best gift of all.

Last, but not least… you’ll find your husband. It may take you a few tries, but once your souls are ready for one another, you’ll meet the person who truly has your back in everything you do. He builds you up, he holds you up, he is the one you’ll grow old with. He prays for you. He is going to be the best thing that’s ever happened to you. When he said for better or worse and in sickness and in health, he MEANS it. This is your soul mate. Cherish him. True soul mates are hard to find. This is your best friend. This is your husband.
