TO: Past Self_____FROM: Future Self

[MYovichZ4]

I'm sure I've seen this question asked before, but what advice would you give your past self? Exclude the usual Biff/Marty Back-to-the-Future gambling scenarios, winning lottery numbers, etc.

Just a single good piece of advice. Like, "Don't touch the red button."

Don't do drugs...., stay in school..., & eat more bacon.


First one probably would have had the largest impact, but hindsight is...., something something.

Grandpa: You should be gettin' that young stuff.
Richard: Dad!
Grandpa: That young stuff is the best stuff in the whole world.
Richard: Hey! Hey! Dad! That's enough! Stop it!
Grandpa: Will you kindly not interrupt me, Richard! See, right now you're jailbait, they're jailbait. It's perfect. I mean, you hit 18, man! You're talkin' about three to five.

I heard all sorts of versions, and there seems to be no official version, kinda like "illegitimi non carborundum" (as you can see by the link) has many different versions; even the gramatically correct version is arguably "noli nothis permite te terrere". However, in my case, my version is more accurate though... Most people who I trusted let me down or fucked me over were dudes (business partners, the bosses of jobs I've held, my best friend in the world at the time that I would've taken a bullet for), so "trust no man" fits.

Also, I was socially awkward until I was 25 and took a human potential seminar, but before that I had a bunch of misconceived notions about dating... If I told you half of those notions (which most of them revolved around fear and insecurities) and why I was a virgin until I was 27, you'd probably laugh from tonight until the next morning... Thus, "fear no bitch" also fits.

Oh, and speaking of illegitimi non carborundum, that's another thing I should tell my past self.

I thought you'd say "But extra phone and leave in pants pocket so I can find my pants with 'Find My iPhone' "

What would I tell myself? Probably just to invest more and earlier. Also not to get mad at those 4 strippers in my hotel room in San Diego for wrecking the room. That's what the insurance is for. Also, stay another night.



or 2.

I already know my pants are in the house somewhere (I think), I just can't remember if they are in the bathroom, or the middle bathroom, or did I take them off when I took a leak in the back yard, or just in my room? Find isn't that tight on the GPS reading.
