Message to your younger self.

[Detective Prince]

Me at age 7,

You've just watched your first episode of Dr Who after finding all those videos in mum's wardrobe. Well done. Now you're wishing you could be a time traveller too.

Well guess what...

HIIIIIIIII!

By the way, when you're 14 don't let two drunk people cut your hair, that is all.

 

[MartianWarMachine]

Dear me, age 17,

Dooo eeet...

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Dear Little (Just turned) Thirteen-Year Old Me:

You are starting High School a year earlier then intended because of academic success! Congratulations! I know the previous 7 1/2 to 8 years of 'Christian' school was crap, crushed your self-esteem and made you hate authority figures and everyone who is overly-religious. But your happy to be out at least (despite the looming and inevitable family troubles) and that's a good thing. Here are a few things to make your teen years less rough (at least up to this point):

Spoiler: For the sake of space

A.) Your 'best' friends are going to ditch you after the first year for the popular crowd. Be friends with Denise and her B.F. - Chad, from your English class. You'll mutually part ways in the future, but you have a good time. Also focus on school work. You are coasting on A's and are considered an over-achiever, that isn't a bad thing.

B) A guy named Robert (who plays the guitar) will take an interest in you, just don't. Also a guy named Jimmy, with the punk hair spikes. Damn it, he was bizarre. And B.J. with the messy blue hair and pierced lip - stay away from him too. At 16 1/2 - you'll meet a young man with a beautiful white 1977 Pontiac Firebird. Just stay away from ALL that mess. Seriously. I don't even want to go into it. You just have to trust me. Just, seriously, avoid guys your whole H.S. journey, okay? Good.

C.) At nineteen - I KNOW you have 'Myspace'. Go to Denise's page and look through her friends for one named Joshua. He's holding up a pug puppy in his picture and he has a W.o.W background. He really IS a nice, handsome, patient guy with a promising future and a kooky sense of humor, and he'll make you EXCEEDINGLY happy. He also games like you. You'll have a lot to talk about. (His family is overly-religious though. So...brace yourself. Also keyword: Patience.)

Just smile, and be happy. Life is too freakin' short to be so miserable all the time and to dwell on whatever others have to say. If you are going to go on to become a C.E.O, Doctor, Scientist, Author, Waitress, Cashier, Housewife or what-the-hell-ever, make absolutely sure it's what YOU want. Just trying to save you from some rough times.

Sincerely, Your future Twenty-Three year old self.

Nothing. the little dipshit deserves all that this older dipshit has suffered through, if only for having been so stupid at times.

Plus, I don't regret a thing. Whatever I did, it was worth it afterwards, even and especially the unwise things.

 

[Maphysto]

Hey, me.

You know those chicks in high school? The ones that are really obviously flirting with you, but you're too stupid or blind to notice?

Bang the fuck out of them.

 

[rutger5000]

Be a rebel, have complete disregard for any authority or social norm. Teach yourself don't trust your school with that. Slack of with the homework they give you, and work hard on the stuff you want to learn (German, English, Math, Physics and for fun History), and act the way you want to act. A big fuck you to all the boring people that held you back so long. Also try to get out that constricting peasant village and flee to the freedom of the city as soon as you can, or at least go there as often as you can (Amsterdam is great). (Don't wait until you're 18)
Owh and MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't imagine how great it makes you feel. (Better then sex, yeah sorry about that)
And don't start playing games, just a waste of your time. If you're really bored start reading or something.

Dear past me:

Stop playing WoW. Bad me. Stop that.
*smack*

 

[jonnosferatu]

You know how you wanted to become a confident, muscular, fairly well-adjusted student at world-renowned University with many positive interpersonal relationships, several close friends, and a devoted but very sexual and physical attractive girlfriend?

Yeah, that happens. And it is fucking GLORIOUS.

P.S. Doctor Who does come back. You'll know what I mean when it happens.

 

[The-Bad-Blooded]

exercise (i'm overweight, and it'd solve all of my problems)

 

[Superior Mind]

Wow, I'd tell my younger self a lot. I suppose what it all boils down to is "It is better to regret something you did than something you didn't do."

Similarly, "It is better to regret someone you did do than someone you didn't do - but, uh, use protection."

Also: "Stop being such a fucking **** all the time. Seriously, your an embarassment to me and all your other future selves."

 

[Voodoomancer]

"Stop procrastinating, dammit!!"

A sound piece of advice.

This sounds like it's from a movie. I don't really know what you actually did, but it sounds amazing.

OT:
Dear Wuggy,

This is you from the future. DON'T FREAK OUT! Ok, you freaked out. Calm yet? Good.

I know it sounds cliché but: Carpe diem. You will have a plethora of awesome opportunities in your hands and unless you build up courage to actually do _something_ in your life you won't become an apathetic hermit.

You know that girl that used to be in your class that you find kind of cute? She's into you. You know that hipster gal you met on the camp? She's into you too. The latter one fits your better in terms of personality, you just gotta get that hipster-attitude out of her, or not, whatever. Also, get over your last girlfriend sooner, it's not that bad, you were too young to know what you were doing.

Don't spend all of your free time playing WoW. You don't need to have your daily quests done every day, you don't need to do the daily dungeon every day. You don't have to go to every raid. Go out, make some friends, whip out your longboard more often.

Sincerely,
Wuggy from the Future

PS. Try not to get too smashed when you go drinking. You'll wake up in your own stairway, woken up by your neighbours. You moron.
