If I could go back, I would tell my younger self...

- To take NO ONES bullshit

- Apply yourself and study hard

- work THEN play

- Not everyone is your friend

- Not to let anyone steal your joy

- Most importantly, just be yourself (took me ages to figure this one out hahaha)

Ugh...if only I knew then what I know now. What things would YOU tell your younger self if you could?

I'd have to go to different points in my life to accomplish anything with this.

- I would tell 10 year old me that 6th grade will be tougher than anything imaginable.

- I would tell 13 year old me not to allow the forthcoming collapse of my family to define me as a person.

- I would tell almost 15 year old me to be calm around the ladies.

- I would tell 19 year old me to not allow the perfect girl to slip away.

- I would tell 22 year old me not to get discouraged at the lack of a job market.

- Finally, I wouldn't have to tell the me from 30 seconds ago to write this post, because then I'd have everything I could ever want.

This is probably going to sound bad but...

I would kill my younger self and take his place. Anyone asks what happened and I say I hit a growth spurt...

Is it bad that I don't really have anything that I would tell my younger self? I think the most I would say is to not be so shy and be nicer to my mother.

I would tell my 16 year old self to totally fuck my cousin's girlfriend's sister (because now she's totally a prostitute with a drug addiction) and then tell my 20 year old self not to ask strangers if they are lesbians. I'd totally be in Virginia right now, having my way with the woman I love.

Don't worry, she likes the rough stuff.

I would go to every point in my life when I got money and tell him to save it.

I would go to when I was making out with a old friend of mine (There is a long story on how I was making out with this girl) and tell him to go all the way.

Ahhh. Life back then was awesome.

I don't think it's bad. Especially when you consider that I would KILL my younger self.

But I think tampering with time never changes anything. (aside from MK) Even if someone did tell themself something from the future there's always a chance, that the person receiving the message could ignore it. Edit: Really though, all the mistakes we've made have made us who we are. So I guess I wouldn't change anything. Even though I hate who I am, I wouldn't change anything.

That is a good point. Perhaps I wouldn't want to change anything.

If I did though...

-Tell myself of about 10 years ago, not to be stupid.

-Tell myself (either 3 or 4 years, and a few months) the following: "Do not give into your curiosity. I tell you, DO NOT ****ING GIVE IN!! It's complicated and you'll probably never understand, but trust me when I say you're most likely better off this way.".

I wouldn't go back and change anything, because then it would mean I would be something else than I am today and I like where I am today. Yeah, I had a rough childhood, I was beaten by strangers who only knew me for my sexuality, yeah, my first time I was raped and yeah, I have many scars on my soul. But if it weren't for those things, I wouldn't be me. And in all honesty, I wouldn't be anyone else than me.

If I could go back, I would tell myself to spend more time with my dad, instead of letting the first time I see him in four years be at his funeral.

Talk about a lifetime of regret.

I'd tell my 17-year-old self to not be so trusting, and that some people just can't help but lie. Also, sometimes people need to learn to save themselves.
I'd tell my 19-year-old self that my family doesn't always have my best interest at heart.
I'd tell my 21 year-old self that I deserve better.
And last, but not least, I'd tell my 24-year-old self that Vancouver's a better opportunity than Los Angeles.

I'd tell my 16 year old self that yes, it always happens and yes it will happen again, to come to terms that some records will always be stuck on repeat and there's some tunes you can't ignore.

I'd tell my 17 year old self that your first love will never love you the way you want him to and it's best to try be friends rather than let things get as sour as they did.

I'd tell my 18 year old self that no, your life doesn't need to revolve around your orientation, and no you don't fit in with this crowd of friends no matter how hard you try to tell yourself that you do. I'd tell my 18 year old self in less than a year from then you'd lose a family member through suicide, your family will fall apart and the thousands of euro you'll earn through a court claim should be saved up and not spent as an alcoholic trying to drink your problems away with men and liquor.

They're pretty much the only big regrets I have. They were a difficult 3 years.

Don't be bums. Don't live in regret. Make the changes you want to make now in order to be the person you want to be.

I can go back already but that's just walking backwards. Will that do?
If I could go back in time I would tell the lotto numbers for the next few months to my earlier self and become a multimillionaire. Really though, I regret nothing even if I'd find a few things regrettable. You will never get anything significant done in your life if you only regret and regret, gosh...
Please don't for feck's sake. At the end of a chapter of life, people often start already commemorating what happened during it and forget that they're still actually living it. You're all still young and your future is open.
Nothing is probably holding you back (aside fear and some petty things).

It's not about living in regret it's more like "if only I knew this then, I'd be wiser to things now"

It's indeed wise to learn from your (and others') faults. I implied that it's not beneficial for you to look to the past for too long: unless you're a historian.
