Miley Cyrus has gone through some rough times, but she’s managed to get through them successfully, and she’s super happy today.

So the newly-engaged bintang shared her best saran for making it through the hard times:

“Always remember that you’re growing up and that growing up means you’ll make some mistakes. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t even think of it as a mistake. Think of it as an experience.”

“It’s like having a little scar. It’s good. It gives anda character. Then when you’re older and anda have kids atau whatever, remember to understand and to remember what anda felt then.”

Being a teenager can sometimes be really tough. Even if it feels like anda make tons of mistakes, don’t stress atau beat yourself up about it. anda might even be thankful for them later, like Miley is!
