One of the most important things I've learned is that I don't need to worry so much. When you are younger, you worry about what you look like, what you are wearing, etc. Of course I still care about those things, but I don't stress over them. What's really important is being happy. At all stages in you life: if you're happy, you're beautiful.
What are your life lessons?

I wish I knew that the first job was just what the name implies - the first in a series. I invested so much time and energy in that job, I can pretty much say it took away my best years. I don't regret the job itself, I learned a lot there and made a number of great friends - but I could have been more relaxed about it and enjoyed my youth a little more.

I wish that I had not been so attracted to material stuff--now I have a house crammed full of things I had to have and now just want to get rid of! Not to mention the wasted money. . .luckily, there's always ebay!

Take care of number one first and foremost. If I can do this, then I will be happy!!

Also not to worry too much, there is nothing you can do about certain things anyway, so worrying is really just a waste of time. Also, that it is the inside that counts, so not to worry about apperance and superficial things as much, but to spend time working on my inside. It is never too late to do it of course, but as a teenager, I would really worry way too much about how I looked, instead of about the really important things.
I think you must have lived very happy.
