If You Could Talk To Your Past Self: What would you say?

[Stratocratic-Anarchy Oceanic Empire]

“Don't you dare screw up the party.

True friends are sometimes obscured from view or have yet to come. Be patient. Patience is key.

And don't you dare take that online class that year!

Don't falter from that big dream of yours. Keep your head up even if people say the idea is stupid.

Also, stop procrastinating so much, dumb brain.”

Edit:

*zips back to past-self*

“Almost forgot, freeze that lemon juice. Because the price of lemons are going to get a bit spicy”

“And also, there are going to be two girls—one will leave at the start of high school—staring at you for no reason from middle school to high school. Just ignore 'em.”

[Spokesland]

Ask her out.

Get that depression diagnosed. It's treatable, and you're missing out on things.

Convince your parents to buy these stupid bitcoin things and hold on to them for like 10 years and your family won't have to struggle with money

She likes you back

Be nicer to your little brother

Punk rock is awesome but you have no reason to be elitist

You're actually pretty decent looking, you're just short. Stop beating yourself up.

Wear gloves with that angle grinder.


I wouldn't change much that didn't have to do with depression or missed opportunities, high school was rough but I like the direction I'm headed.

Oh, come with old Khayyam, and leave the Wise
To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies;
One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.

Pursue that wonderful boy more aggressively! He thinks you are off limits because his best friend like you. You really, really love him, not his best friend.

Vote. It's important.

If you think your life looks bad now, it's about to get a lot better. You'll get there.

I would say I'm a Trump supporter in 2016 I was a liberal and vocal Hilary supporter and how I have changed.

[Forsher]

Take a break.

Or, maybe, "do it the other way around".

I don't like the outcome of the order I did do it in, so I won't explain the relevance. But basically I bought A before B, which, in hindsight, was an error. Or, alternatively, I should've waited a bit and then made a decision.

Also, add Neo Art to your foe's list. Fuck that guy.

That Mexican dude you're going to meet in 2006? Run away as fast as you can. And remember to patch any differences you have with your grandpa. He won't recognize you anymore due to vascular dementia come late 2014 early 2015 and will die shortly after.

Why not tell your younger self something useful?

Look, everything turns out fine. put down the knife.

Hey, 8 year-old, tell your parents to buy something called "bitcoin" Also, in a few years you will discover a website called NationStates. Under no circumstances join it.

[Pasong Tirad]

I would go to 2011. Buy even just one Bitcoin (more, if your current finances can manage it), and sell all of your bitcoin on Nov. 10, 2021. Also maybe purchase some stocks and sell at the end of 2019.

Don't get hung up on that one girl in early 2011. She's not into guys, you just don't know it yet. Yes, you two had fun, but she's really not into guys anymore.

Don't get hung up on that one guy in mid-2011. He's not into guys, and he's really hateful about it. Big yikes.

Don't get hung up on that other girl in mid-late 2011-early 2012. She's just not into you, she never will be. No, it's not romantic to keep pining over her and waiting for her. You could be dating so many other people. Seriously, date more - but make sure you're single by July 2014, when you meet your current partner. The more experiences you have before you settle into your long-term, committed relationship, the better.

Also get a therapist as early as you can.
