What would you tell your younger self?

Hello everyone!!!

Ok please forgive me if I chose the wrong topic to place this under but I thought of something fun..

If you had a chance to go back in time to your younger self, what advice would you give to yourself, or what warnings would you give?

I will start it.. for advice I would say
- "stop worrying so much about what people think about you,"
- "You can't make everyone like you"
- "people are really in it for themselves"
- "you will find love don't worry, it will be amazing, but it WILL hurt too!"


Ok so there is no wrong thing to say ok? it's what we have learned about the world that we would pass on to youngins.. ok now you go!

I had some bad things happen to me and I believed it was ALL my fault...

I'd tell that young girl. "It wasnt your fault, you didnt cause this, you couldnt have prevented it and you'll never forget it but you can take from it and help others grow and heal...hold on and be strong"

"It's okay to cry"

I really needed those words especially 'It wasnt your fault' and I tell other young people who are in that position the same thing...

"Don't be afraid to love, laugh as many times as you can, let your Dad hold your hand in public whenever he wants, tell those you love that you love them more, be less cautious about getting hurt and more willing to take a leap of faith. Make sure that you stay true to yourself and fulfill those dreams. You'll make it, and you'll look back and see just how blessed your life has been."

I myself can not go back all that far seeing as I am 22 right now. However, I think that we all would like to go back and change things... but when you think about it changing the bad stuff back then could mean you loose some of the good things you have now.
If I were to ever get the chance to go back in time and see my younger self, perhaps 10-12 years ago, I would have this to say.

As much as you want me to change things for the "better"; and warn you of all the bad. I am sorry I can not do that. I will tell you this though. Believe in yourself! Do not let the world and the people in it run your life because they think low of you for this reason or that reason. You are your own person, believe in yourself and do not worry about what others may think of you. Let them have their own opinion, they do not live with you, and in the end you are the one who has to live with yourself and the out comes of all your choices. Stand up for yourself and do not let people walk all over you.
And if you can not remember all of this at the very least Keep this in mind...
Everything Happens for a reason, even if that reason in unclear to us, believe that everything will work out for the best. So long as you breath.

Hmm, good question.
I am 16, just left school and I went through a stage where I hated school, coursework got me stressed, I stayed at home and did it there, I got rebelious and thought doing pointless work was..pointless lol, when we had coursework to do, obviously it wasnt pointless when its in our exam.
Anyway so I took alot of time off school without people knowing, just to do coursework and after that, just chill because I was tired for whole days because of the stress of the coursework.
Anyway my advice to myself would be to not take days off to do coursework, you will get it finished no matter what

I would say....

Be strong, and don't take a path just to be liked.

Please take that class, you won't know it now, but you will love it!!

Volunteer...you will learn something

Take time to think honestly to yourself!

Wait.....and wait....and wait.....till you know for sure its right!

Don't walk up those stairs, you broke your toe on them.....

I could go on and on. I need a notebook, some of these are too personal for here.

Ok I know this is old and i started this thread but time has gone by and well, i've learned some more things

"Don't define your self worth in what other people think about you, find it in yourself"

"When it comes down to it, do the right thing, listen to that pang in your stomach"

"Excercise more"

Anyone have some they want to share?

Comments on this post
I wish agrees: Great tips.
