  • Don't smoke cigarettes ever.

    Slow down at that blind corner in October 1989.

    Don't take the shortcut to downtown in July 1994.

    Don't lift that giant tube tv by yourself in May 2005.

    Never stop exercising, playing guitar, writing, and painting/multimedia art.

  • TW child abuse

    Both your mum and dad are using you to hurt each other. The stuff they tell you, the way they hit you and scream at you, all that is wrong. It's not your fault, and I love you because despite all the evil they unleashed on you, you grow up to be a sensitive, caring, loving human being.

    You have autism. You are not broken, or lazy. You spend your time daydreaming because the real world is incredibly shitty to you. Next time you see a doctor, ask them to speak to them alone, and ask them to get you the help you need.

    None of those children are your friends. They're nasty bullies and you don't need their approval.

    Your life gets better. Find this girl in America and be her penpal. Meet up, she's your soulmate. Tell her everything you know to help her heal, and she'll help you in return.

    Memorize these dates and use them to make fucktons of money. Use your billions to plant trees. Plant as many trees as possible, as early as possible.

    See you in 40 years. Sincerely, you.

    Edited to add:

    This is a hug, your parents never hug you and you need to be comforted. They've never told you they love you, and that's incredibly important to do every day.

    It's ok to cry, don't shut that part of you off to stop the bullying.

    Don't get on a motorcycle like your dad wants, you don't have good hand eye coordination or good eyesight, and the accident you get into leads to lifelong chronic pain.

    You are not ugly, and it's ok to be weird! Celebrate your uniqueness!

    Instead of sitting outside a locked house for hours after school, go to the library and read, you're allowed to do that.

    That teacher is a pervert, don't be their friend just because they talk to you.

    Spend more time with your aunts and grandmother, they love you and can help you feel normal.

    Your mum lies to you about a lot of stuff, she's very damaged and taking it out on you because you arrived a month after her 16th birthday. She was r***d by your dad and made to stay with him, none of that is your fault or burden to bear.

    Your brother is an annoying little shit, just walk away from him. He grows up into a nasty fascistic asshole who blames everyone else for his failures. Including you. Do not ever get involved with anything he does, especially to do with computers

    You have way too much put on you for such a young person. Read these books for ways to withstand it all. I wish I could travel back in time and adopt you.

  • Mine Bitcoin when it comes out because they actually will become valuable in the future.

  • Pay the fuck attention in school you little shit

    • Bro. Ten year old you is going to be hella confused and stressed if you're really telling him this. Probably won't be able to focus that way either

  • Hey! It’s ok that you feel like a girl trapped in a boys body! Mom and Dad won’t really like it, but they will eventually come around. You can do this!

  • So you love watching anti-pride protests on YT, right? Actually you love cocks too. You're bi haha cope kiddo does fortnite dances.

  • Be less Christian to be more Christ-Like.

    Being gay is not something you're stuck with, it's who you are and you have every right to celebrate it.

    You're very clever. Don't use your cleverness to manipulate or do harm.

    You will find love.

  • Ask an older relative to invest a couple hundred dollars for you, in both Apple and Microsoft, not to be touched for at least 2 decades.

  • You're gonna end up almost dying at around... 16 yrs? Do not go through that target training course.

    Oh, and you're Ace & Genderfluid, have fun!

  • Tell her you love her. You won't be harmed, even if she doesn't feel the same.

    • Try to listen/think before you start talking.
    • Listen to your parents even if you don't feel like it.
    • Stop watching the naughty stuff because it's bad for you.
  • You're literally attracted to red flags, and that's gonna color how you interact with the world if you don't dodge it. You're better off following your attraction to men; somehow, against all odds, you manage to dodge the cheaters on that side of the baseball diamond.

  • The things she says will confuse and frustrate you. She will pretend to love and care for you. She will abuse you. She will hurt you. She will threaten you and manipulate you. She will try to make you believe it's your fault. She will make you question whether you really experienced the things that happened to you. She will lean on you. She will expect and even demand things of you that no mother should ask of their child.

    Go and build a network of support. Look at how other kids behave with their families. Yours is not normal or healthy. You are not a checked box on somebody's list. You are not a trophy to be paraded around. You are not her friend or her therapist. You are not a dog to be whipped into obedience. You are your own person. She will never give you the stability you need or the love you deserve.

    There will be times that you will not feel safe. You will get out. You'll find friends who will shelter you, couches to sleep on. They see your pain. They understand. It will be okay. It does get better. I love you, and you will learn to love yourself.

    And hey, it's not all doom and gloom, yeah? The games are so fucking good. Like there's a lot of trash but there's story and writing in some of these that's so profound and it brings you so much joy. I know it'll be hard to believe at times, but it's worth sticking around.

  • Eh forget about that man. Despite sharing his name, he’s not even your real biological father. Family is about more than genetics.

    1. you're right about all the contradictions in the Bible
    2. drop everything and immediately begin learning Java and Python. if you get good enough you can skip college entirely and save years of emotional hell
    3. convince mom to let you quit the instruments you hate playing and do computer extracurriculars instead
    4. buy bitcoin sell in Nov '21 lol (or just invent it)
    5. learn Mandarin Chinese, not Japanese. also maybe chill w/ the weeb shit
    6. move to NYC as soon as you can and DO NOT LEAVE even if there's a scary pandemic because you won't be able to afford to move back and you'll miss it real bad :(
    7. BUY AN EARTHBOUND CARTRIDGE BEFORE THEY BECOME UNOBTAINABLY EXPENSIVE 😭
