To me, age 14: "Don't panic! I know you think you're ugly now, are you're not wrong, you are very ugly! However, by 17 you'll be quite the looker and by 21 you will be drop dead gorgeous!"

Dear God, I hope this is true for me. Can you pretend to be me when I'm older? Please? Just for today?

OT: To myself when I was 7: "Man up you little *****. Oh, and start putting on a bit of weight - sure you'll be a bit chubby now, but when you grow up it'll come in useful".

To Myself age 6:

I Love You Very Much

Forgot to warn him about a wild eyed doctor in a DeLorean coming looking for it.

I'd probably warn myself about the dangers of procrastination. "Probably" because i'd probably do it later if i've nothing else to do. It's not like i have a time-travel deadline, is it?

 

[Anaklusmos]

Dear me,

First that girl you've been stalking, you know the one, yeah when you constantly stare at her it freaks her out, yeah I don't recomend doing that, if you stop lusting for her then you'll get better grades and realize at a young age you are actually pretty damn good at writing and then persue a career in that, also on the subject of careers you suck at Biology you are not going to be a doctor. Also, Ryan, yeah the kid who you've never spoken to, he's the most loyal friend you'll ever find, serious he'll be there for you 24/7 start talking to him NOW! Make friends with him NOW! It'll make your life so much easier. Also, College is as good as you think it is, the teachers respect you, there are no bullies stealing your bag or sticking their fingers in your ear, most importantly no Reis or Callum, also don't go to that college you think is awesome, begins with a B... go ask Ben which college he is going to and apply there it begins with a H. Apply for English Lit, English Lang and Psychology. You suck at Psychology so only stay there temp while you find another good friend called Mitchell. After that trade Psychology for Media Studies, trust me you'll love it. Also, in your second year, your perfect girl, you know the one who plays World of Warcraft and is the most beautiful girl you've ever laid eyes on. Yeah that'll never work, so stop lusting for her too, appreciate her friendship you stalker, when she breaks up and gets back together with her boyfriend don't think what could have been, she is out of your league, and that's a fact.

Also, some stuff I want you to change about yourself, Chavs are not cool you do not want to aspire to be a chav. I ain't joking cut it out with that stupid slang and typing in slang... serious what are you a moron? Who types 'U R 2' instead of words. Stop being so lazy! Stop listening to Eminem and 50 Cent, youtube Slipknot, Atreyu, Bullet for my Valentine, Aiden, Bury Tomorrow and Amity Affliction. Don't worry this is just to start you off, eventually you start liking WhiteChapel and Chelsea Grin, but you're ears are not ready for music so awesome, so don't even think about searching for them.

Play World of Warcraft early, but don't tell your friends, except Ryan, serious you'll get the piss taken out of you. Level to 70, join an awesome guild, and get awesome gear, and then ***** slap them because you're a hell of a lot better than them, serious for all of their bragging they are shit at this game while you are awesome. Also stop pissing about with your Druid you suck at Druids, make a Rogue, Night Elf Female, no it isn't gay to play Female characters, but Rogue is your true calling and you're badass at them, stop buying vanity stuff with your gold, such a waste, save up for a mount, also learn Skinning and Mining, thats how you make some gold to fund your mounts, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T SPEND 48 HOURS STRAIGHT FARMING SFK AT LEVEL 40 FOR THE MONEY TO BUY YOUR LEVEL 40 MOUNT. (Remember Night Elf Rogue on the Realm Dragonblight)

Also, a few things, do NOT buy Sector 8, Aliens Vs Predator, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, or Assassins Creed 2. You never play them. Serious you buy 'em and throw 'em away. Don't waste your money. I recomend you buy BioShock, BioShock 2, Prototype, Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Orange Box. Also don't waste your money on stupid stuff like Lil Ragnaros, Lil KT, Lil XT, serious that is money you could be using on somet... well I dunno... USEFUL! Don't buy Alex Rider, do not buy Hells Underground, do not buy Spooks Series, buy Terry Pratchett. He is a major influence in your life, and you wasted like £200 on books you never read while you spent £100 on Terry Pratchett books you've read 5 times each.

From your Future Self.

(Man I wasted soooooo much money....)

[Aphex Demon]

DON'T SELL YOUR INCREDIBLY RARE YU-GI OH CARDS FOR 5 BUCKS DAMMIT!!! CONTRARY TO WHAT YOUR MOM SAYS THEIR WORTH MONEY >:O

This ^ (I sold full exodia original shiny print for like, £10. REGRET.)

OT:

Dear myself, Circa 2005

DO YOUR FUCKING WORK, AND YOUR HOMEWORK.

Also, in May 2010, don't become best friends with that ex-coke head, you will regret it.

Much Love, me myself and I.

"Knuckle down and quit screwing about at school, sure you know it's all effectively pointless and you won't need to know any of this shit a week after you leave, but sadly people, especially employees WILL judge you on your results, and that'll affect everything. Sort out your eating habits, learn that salads won't actually kill you, and realise that you just don't need to keep buying shit to be happy."

Hell, this goes out to everyone. If you can't afford to buy something, just hold on, it'll get cheaper, and you'll get more money later. Loans and credit cards are just there to screw you over time and time again, and it's so easy for them to spiral out of control. If you're already in any kind of trouble, seek help now, before they pile on a ton more charges and fees and find new ways to bend you over.

You don't have to be tight or mean with money, just sensible, in fact, being sensible with your money means you've got more left over to do stuff with your friends and family

 

[Kecunk]

Keep an eye out for a killer bear on a rampage. Kill it now before it ruins your life.

 

[Queen Michael]

Okay, listen up, boy:

1. Just so you know, you are going to get a girlfriend. But it's actually pretty nice; see, she likes manga and has blue hair.

2. You know how you love that manga series, Paradise Kiss? Well, you're going to meet people as awesome as the people there for real. Also, you'll get to read the ending.

3. You know that book that Akira Toriyama based Dragon Ball on? It's really long, and extremely good.

4. While there's nothing wrong per se with being a Christian, you really ought to either stop being one or at least get a better reason than "Mom raised me to be one".

 

[Kernalgohd]

Dont eat the soup!! Also, Dont ever tuck in your shirt, it looks dorky, don't even affiliate with that dude, he's just a shit head, dont go out with her, wont end well, dont wear your hair like that, looks dumb. I think that just about covers it.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

teenage me: You, fat basterd, join the Handball team now. Not in 5 years idiot. Chicks will dig it!But keep up the theatre, you will love the confidence!
2007 me: hey dude its you again. Dont go to that University! You waste 1,5 years and only get to know 2 nice people. Take a job for half a year and go to the place you wanted to go at first, its awesome there and i/you/we love it. Oh and as soon as you can take Irish as third. You'll love that too and get some free flights every year.

 

[Phantomess]

Dear fifteen year old me:

You know that guy in Science who always sits next to you and follows you EVERYWHERE? Here's a piece of advice. When he hits sixteen and becomes amazingly good-looking (and trust me, I'm still trying to work out HOW), run as far away from him as you can. There are other boys who have cars. There are other boys who turn out to look like Tobey Maguire when he was appealing. DO NOT STOP. RUN NOW.

Also, since you won't screw up your senior year by dating him, you will be able to concentrate on school and work more. Here's a tip - start saving now. Actually, please do. By the time you are twenty-four, you will have a die-hard obsession with Bon Jovi (I mean, more than you do now). You will set your heart on going to Dublin to see them again. You can do it, but you'll need to save like a demon.

By the way, science isn't THAT great. Go study video games instead. Forget about the creative writing degree. You'll get your literary contract at 23.

That's about it, really. Oh, btw. Stop falling for guys at work. It never works out.

Yours, Me.

I'd probably spam myself with the message:
''You'll regret saying/doing that, so don't''
Btw, is there a limit to the ammount of messages I can send? I need to send this one a lot XD

Dear: me

To my 14 year old self: "You're gonna get stabbed in the leg today while defending your friend, make sure you help him, he'll be by your side always. In a few years you're gonna meet a nice girl, don't let her go whatever happens."

 

[Twilightruler]

Age 13: "Do NOT ask for World of Warcraft for your birthday. It will eventually lead to you showing your best friend. He will get addicted, play it non-stop, meet some 35 year old psycho in California who has a kid, and by the end of your senior year he'll move to California to live with her and you'll likely never see him again. Take a high school programming class."

Age 16: "Don't be a moron and ask her out on the day she gets in a fight with her ex-boyfriend. More importantly, man up and ask her out in person, don't leave a note in her locker. Also, don't pursue the cute, nerdy girl who plays video games. Keep her as a friend, (that's all you would be during the 10 days of that relationship anyways). Also, GET A SUMMER JOB FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON'T."

Age 18: "Western is a great school and you'll meet a lot of really really cool people. If you have any second thoughts about Computer Science after the first semester, change your major. But still give CS a try, you will meet some of your best friends through that program. Don't fuck around your freshman year either, or by the end of it you'll have a bit of a mental breakdown and it'll all go to shit. Sign up for an early orientation time or all the good classes will be gone and your schedule will suck. Just do your homework. Also, call your parents more often."

 

[The Zango]

Fucking go for it, time spent procrastinating could be spent copulating!

[Freyrproxy]

To high school me (17/18):

*Remember those 'good friends' you have? Fuck 'm...they're ass holes who laugh at you behind your back. Stop listening to them, stop taking their shit, ditch them and stop caring about what other people think about you. *Give up on water-polo now! We both know you hate the game by now, and it will save you some massive scars on you back. *Convince mom and dad to get that bass-guitar asap! Don't make us wait until we're 23 again :,(
oh and ps: don't worry, you won't stay single forever

Sincerely,
Future you (25)

There would be some major other things I could warn myself for...but then I probably wouldn't be the same person now and also the good things I have now, would not have happened, so I have to take some bad with the good I think.
