“I was often afraid to take risks, socially, because I was young and a little more shy and still figuring out who I wanted to be. Sometimes I look back and think, ‘I should have just been bolder and more confident’,” Legend said.

When asked what piece of advice he would offer to his younger self, the “All of me” hitmaker said he would ask him to take risks.

“I would tell myself, ‘Love yourself and don’t be afraid to take risks’,” he said.
