When you’re 18 everyone tells you the things they think you need to know. ‘Reach for the stars’ they write in your birthday cards. They arm you tried and tested quotes like

Or maybe it’s more fun to figure it out ourselves.
Either way, if I could go back and sit down with my 18 year old self this is what I’d tell her…
