Staring at the ceiling.

Watch anime.

But only the ones that air on TV. Don't watch any other anime

What do I wish I could tell my younger self? Boy, do I love this question! Though, I'm still relatively young, but (hopefully) wiser. Here goes...

Dear *insert my real name here*, I'm now in my last year at university. This is a long read, but includes advice I wish I had known when I was your age, 15. I've been blessed with an active and fulfilling life, so I offer the following thoughts gained through experience. You can be a little bad ass and a pain in the ass at times, but I love you and hope you will find something useful here.

Never stop growing - Have an insatiable curiosity about the world and the people on it. It is a beautiful world filled with awesome people, who may be different than you, but can provide interesting insight. Study hard, in school and in college. Learn how to learn. Never stop asking questions. Along the way you'll have to study subjects that aren't going to tickle your fancy, so make sure to also study things that bring you great joy and satisfaction. For example, I can speak Japanese now because that's what I wanted to do and worked toward achieving it. Earn excellence every damn day.

Relationships - You are blessed and a blessing. You deserve to be surrounded by wonderful people whose company you enjoy, and who offer you sound advice, encouragement, real friendship, and love. Find people who have an interest in who you are as a person, have the potential to care about you and want to see you win. Also, all your friends are cooler and better human beings than you. Believe me, I would know. :'-)

Don't care what others think - Well, except your family and friends 'cause they have a better idea of who you are. If caring what people thought added money to my bank account, I'd be doing it all day. If they have to judge you at all, there is nothing stopping them anyway. I paint my nails, use a pink backpack, have a Tails tattoo, shave my legs, and wear anime T-shirts nowadays. It's only 'cause I'm comfortable in my own skin that I can do those type of things. The point is, you'll never be able to make 100 percent of the people in life happy, and the sooner you come to terms with that, the better off you'll be. Anyone who has something negative to say about you isn't worth worrying about and most likely trying to foist their insecurities and inabilities on you 'cause they're too scared to look at themselves and work toward being better.

Plan ahead - It helps to have general plans about life. Plans help you stay motivated and give you something to look forward to. But be aware that life can throw curve balls at you, both in the form of opportunities and challenges, so it is worthwhile to review your plans regularly, have a plan B and to stay adaptable. There's a balance though when it comes to plans. If you're too firm, you can get stuck. If you're too adaptable you'll always go with the flow. Neither is desirable in the long term.

Don't be afraid to fail - So get to drawing now! "Wait a tick!" I hear you saying. "But I can't draw!". Yeah, I used to think that too, but then I actually started doing it, kept at it and learned I was wrong. I love proving myself wrong! You will fail sometimes, perhaps you will fail often. No one has a 100% win rate. So it's important that you address and understand your failures in order to learn what you can do better next time.

Dating/Sexuality - You're going to realize you're asexual. Before you discover that about yourself I already know you're going to be be respectful, honorable, and careful in all your sexual activity. Communicate openly, honestly, and frequently with all the women you'll be with (romantically and/or sexually). I know you love women so continue to treat them with respect wherever you go.

Have and maintain a sense of humor - Life's not always fair or safe. During the challenging times, having a sense of humor can keep your outlook and your spirits high and positive and not bring others around you down. Humor goes a long way to develop and maintain healthy relationships too!

Have fun - As far as we know, you get one chance to live, so make the most of it. Be smart and be safe, but have fun. Have a lot of fun. I know I am.

There you go. I'm sure I've missed some important stuff, but this will give you something to think about. You've been through some rough crap, but at the end of the day, you are deeply loved, and without you, there wouldn't be a me. In all things, I wish you the best.

Your older self

Basically, *in Tails voice* everything will be okay. Honestly though, knowing me, I most likely wouldn't have listened to most of the stuff I said, but if I knew back then what I know now, I would've saved myself from a few heart and headaches

Aim for the head and throats when you fight or don't make the mistaken of not telling one of those three girls you like them. And don't eat too much.

Yeah right there is no way a doujin about vomit exists.

"Work out more" or "talk to Logan."

I picked up guitar pretty early in life, but it wouldn't hurt to have started even earlier, so I guess I would throw something in about that too.

"Start taking physical education class more seriously, or else it's gonna come back to haunt you. Also stop being so self-conscious and build some confidence. Also the next time a girl ask you out, at least consider it."

I would say "don't give a flying shit about what other people think of you because your not going to in the future but start early anyway it will benefit you, and stop being so nervous about everything whats going to happen is going to happen so chill the hell out kid!"
something along the lines o that XD
