12 years ago, my class teacher (class 9) had slapped me infront of the whole class because I got fake nails to school. I felt so humiliated and ashamed. She didnt just slap me once, but left, right, left right and left.

After years of being angry and finally being accepting the hurt, today I called her and told her, how hurt I was. I was not really convinced with her reasoning of why she slapped me ( to discipline me it seems so that I grow up to become a good human). But she also said sorry and was glad that I called her to to inform that I felt this way. I recorded the whole conversation. but its a 16 mins convo, so yeah pata hai aaj kya hua? Yeh hua.

Feels like my 14 year old got closure today and I am so proud of how I handled it.

• Focus on studying, you will get plenty of time to fall in love make bfs blah blah. Marks do matter, not for other but for yourself.
• I know you are confused which career path you should take, talk to teachers (if you trust any).
• Whatever happens, happens for good, you will realise this once you are in your mid twenties.
• Do not shave your legs, you will end up getting very bad strawberry legs.
• Do not hang out with people who drink or smoke.
• Clean your room clean. Clean space = clean mind.
• You are going to be making a lot of mistakesssss, please learn to forgive yourself first.
• I know you love your mother, but her fights are her to fight not yours. Stay away from family drama.
• If you dont recieve love from your parents the way you want to, don't look for it in other dysfunctional places.
• You will meet someone one day who is going to heal you. Not in a calm romantic way but in the most messy and unimaginable way possible.
• You will fall in love with the insecurities you have about your body. Not the crazyyy "oh I love this body part so much" but "Its okay I have it this way" Acceptance is key.
• Learn to accept yourself. becasue if you dont no one else will.
• Do not give access to ypur body to any tom dick and harry ( I am actually proud that I didnt). Will save you a lot of trauma later on.
• Run, jump, play. Get exhausted.
• Eat less junkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
• Do not get on instagram. ( I was in 11th when instagram and snapchat had just launched).
• Take good care of your skin and hair.
• Dont be so self obsessed.
• Give more than you recieve.
• Sleep as much as you can 10,12,13 hours. Adulthood will barely give you any sleep.
• Give respect to your opposite gender at school. Empathy is very important and dont bully or make other people feel small.
• Apply sunscreen
