If you could go back in time and give your 22-year-old self advice, what would you tell yourself?

I’m participating in a worldwide 31 Day Blogging Challenge during the month of October to explore all that I would advise my younger self to do in order to have a better life. All of the posts in this series will be linked.  Pour yourself something warm to drink, put your feed up, and enjoy yourself.  Thank you so much for reading!
