It got me thinking - what would I tell my 16 year old self?
I suppose it would be to say that life is good - friends do arrive - I will get to see some of the places that I have loved looking at in the pictures.
But, maybe if I could be more willing to be open with myself, not so scared to open myself up to hurt, maybe life would have been different.
However, at 16 I was happy - cushioned from life by a loving family. So to suggest that what was helping me cope with those teenage years could be something that would, long term, cause some sadness, might be a bit hard to acknowledge.

So, I sahll be interested to see what James, and others, give their younger selves in advice.
