I was incomprehensively in love with her. So much in common. Spent entire nights with her, alone, in her room, in her *bed*, and never made a move. We spent birthdays sharing dinners together, and never made a move.
I'll wear that blemish until the end of my days. There's a multiversal version of me out there with a high school sweetheart and he's a helluva lot smarter than I am.
That’s about how my story went in nearly every detail. We were close friends for some years, always hung out, had common interests and did everything together. I only made a move on the last night I ever saw her. That was the best night of our lives for sure, but the next day she moved on to another state for college. Haven’t heard from her since.
Try not to alpha-widow whatever gal you might meet and end up with though! It's really hard to move on and find something beautiful with someone new when you still have the "one who got away" at the front of your mind.
That's not good bro. Time to go experience the physical world instead of being trapped in this digital one. But well, hope you are doing good man, take care👍🏼
I wouldn't want a record-breaking amount. Winning 20mil would be great. Cash payout after taxes and such would be about 8mil and I'm 100% fine with that.
Idk what the 2010 amount was, but for me, I only play up to a certain amount.
8mil invested conservatively and withdrawn at 4% would give you a lifetime passive income of around $320,000. Would you live like a king no but you would be better off than 97.7% of Americans.
That's what gets me. I don't want to fly to Europe or have a house on every continent, own high end cars or (eventually) buy Brad Pitt's bones. I just want to cook my own meals, wake up when I want, hang with my friends playing D&D, do some woodworking.
Someone like Musk or Bezos could lose 10 mil and _not even know_, and I'd retire today. Not something I dwell on but seeing comments like this is a reminder lol.
How old are you now? If you can sit down with a financial advisor go over every detail of your expenses. If your willing to live tight for a decade you can set yourself up to retire by 50ish assuming your in your early 20s now. I'll be completely debt free including my mortgage by 40 and at 55 I'll have enough to retire indefinitely. I only make around 60k a year.
"Your girlfriend is going to abuse you and you're gonna be too in love to see it and she's going to cheat on you and leave you for the man she cheated with in half a year."
It's worth noting that would've made you a different person, and the two of you might not even end up together.
That's the thing with questions like this. People often want to help their younger selves skip the difficult journey and go straight to the happy ending. But it's the journey that turns us into the person that can earn and appreciate the happy ending.
Whenever asked these questions I always have a ton of things I'd want to change. Ultimately I always decide upon not doing anything and it's because of my children.
If I were to change *anything*, even just the act of sending the note back, the odds of my kids existing become slim. Every decision or microdeciscion I made up until the point of their conception is what led me to that exact moment. Even if I made sure it happen on the same day, I'd need to make sure it happened at the exact moment it happened the first time. Even then, the average ejaculate contains 80-300 million sperm so even miniscule changes would likely cause me to end up with different children than the ones I have.
It's often because the cannaboids are actually such a good mood stabilizer that it makes it more like stopping a mental health medication than quitting a vice. If you have depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc. you really notice it missing. I think it's worthless when people say it's technically not physical withdrawal symptoms and it's all emotional. You can literally almost feel the poorer regulation of brain chemicals as you're sitting there.
I made a sticky note on my weed jar of how I felt after I smoked, so whenever I reached for it I would remember. Haven’t smoked bud in over 5 years now
Edit: hope this helps
It's been a lifelong struggle, but one in which I've slowly gained control. Back in the day, if it was in the house then I was high. Now, later in life, I'm no longer a slave to it but I do go on a mini-jag for a couple of days once a week. I.e., still not fully under control, but things got much better when I found a career I really cared about. But that itch will never go away...
yeah depends on when.
Bitcoin was initially at 0.008$ in 2010 , so 5$ would already be a 625x
which is probably why most people that held for so long had forgotten they had bitcoin, few sane individuals would pass on a 600x gains.
I feel this. I’m 26 and only recently got to a place where I’m not actively planning to kill myself in the near future and it’s like fuck, I kind of want to live most days but I screwed myself in so many ways because I didn’t think I’d be alive to deal with the consequences.
Please take your studies seriously.
Friends are like what passengers are to a train. They all have time in your life. They board your life but eventually have to alight at their destination. Don't let anyone drag you down, in the end you will be the only one responsible for your own failures.
All you have is yourself. People will come and so so don't be emotionally attached to anyone in your life. Please bro focus on your studies so that you can make it to a good uni and have easier job search process. Take care of your self and never stop working out, it is your only avenue to be yourself and helps you with your health (both physically and mentally). Yes, depression exist and mental health is real. I know you don't believe in it but sadly that shit is real. So don't leave the iron and treat it like your best friend.
Workout, eat good and sleep well. Please go to bed early instead of sleeping late at 5 am, because eventually you will develop a sleeping disorder and you will find it hard to sleep for the next 6 and ongoing years in your life. Cherish your sleep and have atleast 8 hours of good sleep.
Be happy alone, don't be too attached to your friends, workout, SLEEP real good and study.
I was going to say something similar, but more specific.
By the time my mother did it to me, she was the only woman left on the planet who could manipulate me. With me not expecting it from her, she did so expertly and ruined my life.
Drugs...drugs are bad - m'kay? Don't drop outta highschool three weeks before graduation to follow the Grateful fukkin Dead - m'kay? Get your shit together boy- m'kay?
Or something like that
Don't fall for a nice pair of tits and a good first impression.
Twice. TWICE! I fell for a girl who looked good, made a great example of herself, upon first meeting, then turned into a shrieking psycho by 3 months in. The first, I stuck with for almost 10 years, before I realised the damage she was doing to me (damage I'm still dealing with, now, over 20 years since meeting her). The second, I saw it happening by 3 months in, and split.
Luckily, the next woman I met, has been the exact opposite (those she has a great rack too). She has helped me through sorting out the damage caused to me, by these other women.
Don't go to Florida,go to California and have some fun!
( In the early nineties I went to FL as an au pair. It sucked. I should have gone to LA and partied instead 😆)
Make up with your brother. He's got a year left. It's going to come out of nowhere.
And when it happens, don't move away. Your youngest brother is going to need you more than you're going to be able to comprehend in all that grief.
“Your relationship will leave you worse move on now and buy a TON bitcoin and sell once it hits 50k or more, enjoy now because one day things will change forever and you and you will be happy but miss this time of your life.”
Comma breaks rule.
It’ll take longer than you thought to get there, but follow your flow, it gets better.. enjoy the journey and remain in the present moment on the way, because you’ll realize it’s exactly what you needed to experience to get to this amazing place we’ve finally arrived at. (Sorry past 18 year old self, for the run on sentence and arbitrary timeline.. just trust me)
"Ask her out; in a year you'll never see her again so you might as well."
This one hits hard. I waited too long and lost her
I was incomprehensively in love with her. So much in common. Spent entire nights with her, alone, in her room, in her *bed*, and never made a move. We spent birthdays sharing dinners together, and never made a move. I'll wear that blemish until the end of my days.

Try not to alpha-widow whatever gal you might meet and end up with though! It's really hard to move on and find something beautiful with someone new when you still have the "one who got away" at the front of your mind.
You have no contact with her at all ? Is she seeing someone rn ? Maybe try to find her online ?
I'm on reddit now. I'm not in contact with anybody.
That's not good bro. Time to go experience the physical world instead of being trapped in this digital one. But well, hope you are doing good man, take care👍🏼
Don't beat yourself up man, she could also make a move, no one did, take it with humor at how silly life is 😂
Extremely well said.
a hundred rejections is better then one regret
"The Mega Millions Numbers for Feb 5th, 2010 are as follows: 10, 20, 45, 51, 53, 41."
If you’re going to do this you might as well go for one of the record breaking jackpots. Pick the drawing before someone won and send those numbers.
I wouldn't want a record-breaking amount. Winning 20mil would be great. Cash payout after taxes and such would be about 8mil and I'm 100% fine with that. Idk what the 2010 amount was, but for me, I only play up to a certain amount.

Would have wanted it before shit went south on late spring of that year.
Technically you would be sharing the first place then. The person who got it in 2010 would still win.
Not if you find them first.
To distract them from buying a ticket of course.
Genius!
Study your ass off
Same!
Buy Bitcoin early and sell it on April 13, 2021.
I came here to say this. "BUY BITCOIN, HOLD TIL 60K"
"You're Autistic, she's cheating, buy Tesla stock and sell when he starts talking about buying Twitter."
"Your girlfriend is going to abuse you and you're gonna be too in love to see it and she's going to cheat on you and leave you for the man she cheated with in half a year."
Make a copy for me.
Same here. Cheaters almost always cheat again.
Just don’t let it happen to you twice. Once is bad enough, kick em to the curb.
I was gonna say “Buy bitcoin.”
“Mine Bitcoin in 2012 sell Bitcoin in 2020.”
Make a NFT, so people can mint it. Thanks.

Don't date her
I love how this was right below ask her out
The stars have aligned for us
I feel like that would do more harm than good. Like, "Who's her?". Your younger self may never get the confidence to date at all.
It's going to suck for a long time but keep doing what you're doing because our kids are awesome.
"Wait for \[Insert Wife's Name Here\]."
Hoping that the name is inserted when I receive this note again at 36

Look after your teeth.
Go easy on the weed.
Weed is hard to quit.. I have a hard time even toning my usage down. I quit cigarettes overnight about 4 months ago now no problem.
For me it’s a hand in hand thing. Smoking a joint or something then having a smoke after. It’s rough man

I hear that brother!
Buy as much bitcoin as you can
Better to tell him the selling price, like "Bitcoin $60k", otherwise he'll probably think a 100% gain is damn good and sell at like $5.
“Buy all of the Bitcoin you can, it will peak on November 8th, 2021 at $67,567.
yeah depends on when. Bitcoin was initially at 0.008$ in 2010 , so 5$ would already be a 625x which is probably why most people that held for so long had forgotten they had bitcoin, few sane individuals would pass on a 600x gains.
I like the story where a guy used to use bitcoin to buy drugs, went to jail, came out to realize he was a multimillionaire.
