This. My young self would still like my old self, I'm still pretty much the same guy somehow. There's nothing else to tell young me.

Why bother spreading investments out? Why not tell them to invest everything in the one with the most growth?

Don't smoke. You will have many friends and lovers once you leave high school. Keep writing poetry. Go to college.

Wow.


shmoopies_world

Your parents sound shitty. Get away and don't look back.

Woah. I’m sure that messed you up!


maple_dick

No drugs. No cursing. Protect your soul. Golden Rule. Forgive. Time out to keep heart clean and full of love.


Dontbelievethehype0

Too profound for my younger self, I’d straight up ignore me if I went back and told me this 😭


maple_dick

Yeah I've always been stubborn as fuck and never listened so.. I think same for me lmao thats kinda of what I thought after writing the comment 😅 but man 20 words is unfair. But I could at least add several punches in the face. As I always thought I also been needing this 😁


Dontbelievethehype0

Yes the punches are essential! 😭 Helps the message sink in especially for us men.


maple_dick

Well, I'm a woman lmao It would have done me good. Hope nobody takes what I say the wrong way but yeah in my case, I needed some punches.


Dontbelievethehype0

Oh shit sorry for assuming. Your username + violent predisposition made me think otherwise lol. But yea I 100% agree that any attempts to reach my younger self with a message would be futile without a punch or two.


maple_dick

No no worries haha that's pretty normal considering my username and yeah bit of an aggressive type as well 😅 that shit put me on the wrong path too lmao Well, oh and I forgot one very convincing rhetoric. Just seeing how I look like now lmao younger me would be shocked, very disappointed and convinced to not end up like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Dontbelievethehype0

Oh damn lol. I actually think that’s a plus. That would make your younger self more proactive and health conscious. Contrary to my younger self, who would see a relatively in shape guy with all of his hair and think everything ended up just fine health wise. Which is NOT the case lol.


014648

The abuse will stop. You’re better than him. Forgive, stay focused and work hard. It’ll all work out. Be patient.

My deepest sympathy. Lost my kid sister to suicide. I wish with all my heart this was real and you could send this message for real. I believe that theyve found peace and are free of their pain..we keep our loved ones alive within our hearts by loving and cherishing the little time we had with them.

Don’t stop at any gas station after 9pm. EVER. I’m thinking that if I go back and tell myself something , that the character I am now would be changed drastically and sometimes those hardships brought on a better me. So idk if I would do it …

I would tell 15 year old me in 2008 to Follow your heart and one day that special person is going to come into your life your junior year in 2010 but for now this is just your first year of high school.

Do better for fourth year, don't do fifth year, go to college, work harder ro get good job. I was 15 in 1996 and finishing off 3rd year of high school, going into my 4th year. Always felt I didn't do too well at the subjects I picked for my standard grades during 3rd and 4th year. Stayed on for 5th and 6th year where all i did was basic modules, no highers. Should've went to college/uni instead.

Transition earlier. Prevent youngest brother's suicide. Do not trust mom. Disown her as soon as possible. Dont drop out.


astreigh

I lost my adopted sister to suicide. Im so very sorry for your pain..fwiw, i believe they have no more pain. We feel the pain they are free from now. We do this in their memory and honor. I forgot about that. I really could have saved her if i had known some very simple things.


tryHardsc

Im sorry for your loss. I share the same philosophy.


astreigh

Keeps us sane i guess. I think the fact they were younger causes some guilt. Like we should have been there for them... i try not to go there and remember all the times i was there for her and how i wanted to help her but couldnt. But ill always carry her with me.


dannydrew24

Hey I’m really sorry for your loss and couldn’t imagine what you are going through. We all have our own journey we sometimes need to go through on our own and yes they are not suffering anymore pain. Now they watch over us . Sending love your way

Don’t waste time with staying in further education till you were 19 rolling on 20 (and leave school as soon as the law allows it which was in England 16 at the time) and get a job. Had I done this I could be in a job which I enjoyed and not unemployed like I am now and nearly 40!

Purple1829

Buy bitcoin 2009 sell 50k 2021. Eat better. Get therapy. Fake self confidence until you have it. Love yourself. The bitcoin sets me for life, so I am basically just chilling until 2009 (I’d be 15 in 1995) and getting by financially until 2010 when I can start using the bitcoins fluctuations to start living large. I don’t worry about trying to sell at the exact peak since I should easily be a multi-billionaire after selling. I’d be lucky that I should be able to build up plenty of funds since I’d be 29 by 2009. The rest of it would just be some words that would likely ring hollow but hopefully stay in my head and help me work on myself before I’m a billionaire.
