If you could go back ten years and tell your past self one thing, what would it be?

    Going to be very honest and disappointingly serious; if I could go back ten years, I would tell my seven year old self that I needed to set up a night camera in the video tapes shelf of my room.

    It wouldn't have saved me, but today it might have.

    Wait. No. I wouldn't. As much as I was hurt, I think I wouldn't be here without these people teaching me lessons.

    3 things:
    1. Just because everyone else had a boyfriend, doesn't mean YOU need one. Plus, they can't handle your awesomeness... UNICORNS!
    2. Ryan is a tool. He smokes because he thinks it's cool. He will die.
    3. I feel like Merton right now. In 9 years, you will understand this because you will rewatch EVERY EPISODE of BWOC. And Black Hole High.

    "Don't worry, kid.

    Things may not be looking up now, but eventually you'll meet people as f-cking crazy and special as you. Even though for about three years, those people will be online and your mom will freak out and hate like the hater sh-shot-"

    I'm glad somebody recognized this

    Showing is far better than telling, people. Let yourselves experience things and profit from them. Even the bad things.

    Dear 16 year old Jube

    Good news, you're NOT a complete social outcast. That Stella girl thinks your hot, don't worry it'll all come naturally in Computer science class.
    Don't bet on Duke
    And you know that whole I'm gonna work for vidya gaems attitude you have right now?
    Good news, it'll happen
    Bad news, you'll want to kill yourself while doing it.
    Keep on fapping and peace out.

    Your sixteen-year-old self would correct you on your spelling.

    Let's see... ten years ago, I was eight... I probably would tell myself that my precious joke book? Junk. Full of lame puns. Not going to make anyone laugh, don't get your hopes up.

    I'd go back to a certain moment in my life, look myself in the eyes, and say two sentences:

    "Glen, put that glass down. It is not apple juice."

    I'd tell my 11 year old self: "Pyro...you better put down that cup of tea and go run a mile, then drink a jug of milk. Drink it every night. Other than that...you regret nothing. Go party."

    EDIT:

    Except that processed milk actually takes calcium from your bones to counteract the acids during digestion. Counter-productive.

    Main reason I hated milk was for the reason that it was directly from the udders and steamed on the stove. The smell was not my cup of tea to handle. Oh well... =[

    Hmm...
    I wouldn't say anything to myself really in terms of 'do this better'... Everything that I've experienced now has made me who I am today...


    There is something big I'd like to change which was a life or death moment and one of the key moments of my life... and if I got the chance, I'd definitely take it without a doubt... but since it isn't possible, I'd rather not go over what-ifs any more or I'd torture myself forever in that regard since the chance to change such a thing is impossible.
    I've done enough thinking and self torturing about that to last a lifetime.


    If it was something minor, I'd say I would tell myself to not invite a certain someone to a certain website maybe... but meh.
    Yet another mistake eh?
