I would smile, kneel down, and say.. "It gets worse."





Crying doesn't mean you're weak.
Enduring doesn't mean you're strong.

I would tell myself to buy bitcoins and invest in apple.

Jk okay I have no regrets to be honest.
I thought about a serious answer for about 3 minutes and couldn't come up with anything really.

honest to god, make-up tips.

like bbygirl, put half those products back on the counter because that you could've bought a round-trip ticket to new york with that money. draw your eyebrows a shade lighter, use proper foundation instead of blotchy bb creams, and invest in a solid eye-shadow palette.

Don't get married. You are gay. Start systema training.
idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV

where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion.

I should probably have manned up and actually confessed to that one girl I was crushing on in middle school instead of tiptoeing around it until it was too late as she ended up getting a boyfriend on her own instead :/

Study harder because you are going to be compared with everyone for the rest of your life even with people who get a 0.01% more than you, be ready to get scolded and beat up every time you get less marks even if you've secured a rank in your class.

"Stop watching anime."

Really though, I'd probably tell my younger self to have more confidence in herself, and to believe in herself a bit more. Maybe try out a lot of new stuff before getting consumed by high school and running out of free time.

I'd probably tell myself to accept my dad's offer to send me to private school. All my cousins went to private school and are now big successes. Me? I convinced my dad to send me to the local comp so I could stay with my friends and now I'm a NEET.

Follow your instincts, somehow they have always been right.

And also, stop watching anime. You'll end up liking it too much.

If none of you have heard of Abney Park, you should at least check out this song. it fits this post so very well, and it fits what I would tell myself if I could speak to my younger self ...



Robert as boy:
Dear Mr. Brown,
One day I'll be you and
Although I'm only eight now,
You need to hear my rules
Never stop playing
Never stop dreaming and
And be careful not to
Turn into what I'd hate

Robert as adult:
Dear little boy,
I'm doing my best up here but
It's a thankless job and
Nobody feels the same
You work long hours
Watch your credit rating
Pay your taxes and
Prepare to die

Jody Ellen:
I have tried to keep my soul
I lost the fight to keep a hold
Now I am not awake
Now I'm not awake

Robert as boy:
Hey Mr. Brown,
That can't be what life is like!
I've watched some movies,
And I've, I've read some books
Life should be exciting
And sometimes scary but
What you're describing doesn't
Seem worth the time

Robert as adult:
Hey little boy,
I think you were always right
I've dropped that worthless life and
I'm moving on
Life should be adventure
I'm stealing back my soul
I've lost too many years now
I'm awake

Robert and Jody Ellen:
You were right
I nearly lost my soul
I will fight to steal back my soul
Now I am awake
Now I'm awake

In all seriousness this song truly is me. I grew up and very intensely tried to become the perfect responsible adult. As a result, years later, I found myself just breathing but not truly living at all. As a result I was miserable and it had an effect on everything ... friendships ... relationships ... self esteem ...

Now I have become this song. I started taking back my life. I take my hobbies to heart, and enjoy life as much as I can, now. I dropped a crazy career in lieu of stepping back and actually looking around me and controlling my life instead of letting life control me.

Now I am finding myself surround by happiness, and I am slowly starting to make true friends again and starting to socialize into areas of similar interests (such as here on MAL).

Waking up ... ah yes ... so if I could communicate like this ... I'd simply tell myself to do that from the start and not take adult-hood so seriously after all. One can truly be responsible and live a good, honest life without losing focus of enjoyment and the rewards that come with it.

don't waste so much of your time.
don't waste your time on people that barely waste their's on you.
stick to playing guitar. get a ged eariler. take college courses earlier.
you have a goal, dedicate yourself fully to it to save yourself from heartbreaking regret later on over not starting sooner.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do
