Before I start this blog post, I would like to appreciate this video for making it entertaining and informational at the same time, love it.
Dear Grandma Chloe, are you married? Do you have 10 dogs? Do you have 37 cats? I set a few goals for myself that I had to do when I was 18 or older, did you do them? How's mom and dad? And most importantly, are you enjoying life?
Right now, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. What job did you end up having? And do you love it? I had an interest in helping disabled kids or being a kids doctor, maybe a vet, did you do anything similar or study something similar?
I'm in need of advice, as I'm a young foolish teenager, I need some advice to help me succeed in life so please help me out!

I have tons of advice for you and you must follow them because this is the advice that I gave myself when I was your age.
1. Don't be so hard on yourself.
You might not get the grade that you wanted, or not making a team that you wanted to make but it's okay. You don't need to beat yourself up for little things like that. Learn from these events and try different things on how to improve yourself so you can achieve the grade that you want or make a certain team. It's okay to fail because it will lead you to success.
“Success is most often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.” - Coco Chanel
2. Be Kind to People
I know you get irritated quickly and by quickly I mean in half a millisecond and I also know that you won't put up with people being unfair with you so you tend to rage at them and scream. Try to avoid that. You need to learn to be patient and be kind to even the evilest person in the world. There are times when you aren't in a good mood, but try to stay positive at all times because it does pay off.
3. Be Positive
You are such a pessimist. You need to learn how to stay positive. You are always thinking negatively of things. Just smile through the pain and forget about all the bad factors. If you think about the positive factors, then you will enjoy yourself more.
4. Stop Worrying
Worrying stops you from doing something you want to do. What if this happens? What if you I get in trouble? What if I fail? What if I don't get into the college I want? She's not answering, is she dead??!!1!! You have to stop asking yourself these questions because these questions will make you worry that you'll have a second thought and end up missing on an opportunity. No, I'm not saying don't question situations or opportunities. You should question them but questions like: Is it going to benefit me? Will I learn from this opportunity? Will I have fun? Am I trying hard enough? These are just some of the questions that you should ask yourself. Just don't worry so much. Everything is going to be alright. Just listen to Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child ft. John Martin.
Well, that's all I have for today, I'm getting old so my memory isn't as well as it was when I was 16, so I think I left some out but whatever. Enjoy your life!

Hello. I'm here to answer your questions. Your ... interesting questions... So yes. I did get married. I'm married to this wonderful man but I'm not gonna tell you his name because it must be kept a secret. I had 27 dogs, still counting. 3 of them are pregnant. One with 8 pups, another with 6 and one with 6 or 7. Not as much cats tho. I decided to rescue the cats that no one would adopt and they were all fixed so no kittens for me. I did try to travel the world with my husband but that didn't work out because we ended up being too lazy to pack and unpack and pack again. Plus who is was difficult to fins someone who would take care of 27 dogs and 12 cats. As for jobs, I ended up being a psychologist and occasionally helped with children who have speech problems. Right now, I'm helping the disabled. Helping them to find homes, jobs, and stuff like that. Anyways that's all from me!
