cinnamongrrl · 01-01-2016, 07:13 AM

Stay in school. Its very hard to return....

Move to Asheville sooner. I wish my kids had grown up immersed in this environment

Do more of the things that interest you... hobbies are important too

Be better at being present

Be careful who you give your heart to

Daniela · 01-01-2016, 09:43 AM

Stop doubting yourself so much. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with you, even though you may think there is.

Chad · 01-02-2016, 04:00 PM

Mine will always be the same "stop partying and go to college"!

I must have been in disco bars from the age of 18 to 25 drinking and chasing ladies. I delayed going to college and wasted my youth in night clubs.

It was big fun and I have awesome memories but I wish that I had balanced disco with school.

It is never too late to go back to school! Especially now that they have so many programs for the full time worker. Accelerated classes/programs. You can take a whole class over 3 weekends by being in class 8 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Online classes. There are many options nowadays.

Consider it, or 10 years from now you might think about how you should have done it 10 years ago!

Chad · 01-02-2016, 04:38 PM

Thanks DapperButch,

I did make it to collage when I was 25 but just think I could be retired now if I had gone at 18 years old.

I still like to Party! Haha!

Just relax and breath. Sometimes things aren't meant to be in life,love and even friendships. Don't change who you are to make others like you.

You are you. Honest,open and funny....if they can't handle you. Move on

Logicaly · 01-07-2016, 01:56 AM

Start saving money, now. Plan for the future expenses, because man oh man, are they ever expensive.

Rockinonahigh · 01-07-2016, 04:26 AM

To my younger self. Listen up meatball the saying that goes this way...faster horses, faster women and fast cars along with Mr. J Daniels .ONLY IN MODERATION!...I can't be leave I did all that s86T.

Jesse · 01-07-2016, 08:18 AM

Never light up that first cigarette dude, it will take you years to quit and you will regret every one you ever smoked.

Oh and use the money you save from smoking to go to college early.

One last thing dude, you matter to me!

stargazingboi · 06-15-2016, 09:51 PM

Your body wont last as long as you think...transition, be happy, and live healthier.

Don't walk down that hallway on 11/17/1998 it will start the dominoes falling and you'll never fully recover

Spend more time with friends..laugh hard and often

Don't let people define you...define yourself

Surround yourself with more positive vibes

Live on/near the beach...any beach...there is something about the ocean your soul needs

Shystonefem · 01-02-2016, 11:59 AM

PS..... On the night your mom calls and tells you that she is too tired to banysit, leave work and stay with her.....

That boy that was mean to you for so many years will ask you out later on and you will smile when you say "no".

TL1 · 01-02-2016, 03:21 PM

Do not date that one there! (will keep her name to myself)
She will drive you mad and insane!

Kenna · 06-20-2016, 12:29 PM

Become a certified welder, finish your mechanical drafting certification and take the advice of your fravorite professor to become certified in HVAC.

Kenna · 06-22-2016, 09:26 PM

Don't abuse your body...you'll need it in one piece when you get old.

Glenn · 06-25-2016, 10:02 AM

You were greatly loved by poor, yet wise, and progressive parents. Do not argue too much with them about jobs and money. There will come a time when you would gladly give away everything you have, for only one more day with them.
You experienced a poor, yet happy childhood to teach you that money will be needed to survive, but to also learn to share with those who are as poor, and oppressed, or more so. History taught you that our Mother Earth needs them more than the wealthy. You will know what She thinks about money, by deeply studying the souls of those who have most of it.
Never stop your Music lessons. For writing, playing, and teaching Music will give you joy and a job, and others as well.
Do not even go near a cigarette! Cigarettes can kill you!
When your body has grown, there will be many people who will desire it, for it was made from the finest Italian soil. Allow only a few deserving to possess it. Near the end of your life, when you are old, you will be happier living and working in Nature alone, rather than with those people who only lusted for your body, and what it could give them. Especially R.H. and M.O. Do Not Give Them Anything! They will be your wrong exit ramp, wrong turn, etc. All of your love, and hard work, will be downloaded into nothingness with them. Que Sera Sera.
Take heed to the words of your spiritual teacher from India who told you that- "The seeds of your past, bad, karma, cannot germinate in the fires of Divine Truth." Fortunately, you shall personally experience the love, power, and Divine truth of your Creator, which will make all the evil that happened in your life seem minor. You will never forget it, it will be the greatest experience of your life, and you will always believe in goodness of your Creator.

Prudence · 07-21-2016, 06:32 PM

Because I have been stubborn all my life, sometimes I would not listen.That got me into a lot of hot spots.I could of avoided such dangers if I listened to the warnings others tried to give me.

So today the advice I would give my younger self is to listen,shut your lip, tell your ego to be quiet and,listen.
