Younger self

If you could have a conversation with your 16 year old self what words of wisdom/encouragement/knowledge would you impart?

To DO ALL THE THINGS!

And then I'd slap her for all the future bad decisions and wasted time.

Put as much money as you can into Tech stocks and sell off before March 2000.
Have more self confidence and let people in.
You'll meet a girl named " ". Don't let her get away.

I think that would be dangerous-- lol

I was soo naive-- which was probably good.

The possibilities are endless. 😄

Gosh, I was so care-free in my teens & I made a butt of myself on so many ocassions. The thing is I was & still am a bit impulsive, I've toned it down a lot though due to so well taught lessons.

Advice to the young me...RELAX, WAIT & SEE IF YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY TOMORROW.

I would tell myself that **** is going to talk you into giving up your V card. He does not love you and is going to break up with you the next month. It's up to you but now you know.

I would say your parents are going to die early. Take more pictures.

I would say go to Hollywood and try to see if you can make it for a year.

I would say make better food choices.

I would say **** is not your friend. In fact, she is a snake.

I have some more but I would want to scare my 16 year old self. 😉

I love the Tech stock thing. If I would have invested in Snapple I would be so rich right now.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS....DON'T LET ANYONE DERAIL YOU FROM PERSUING YOUR DREAMS.

invent FB, and become rich, then you wouldnt be a broke ass sailor..

Oh and your BF is a complete Asshole

I had a lifelong friend up to around 6/7 years ago, we grew up across the street from each other.

She was a taker, a user, she broke every vow, every promise, she was slutty ... many, many, many things. She had good qualities, also, but, they didn't outweigh the bad qualities.

I was blind to her, I loved her, and being a Pisces, I was deluded .... BAD

And my loving husband never tried to influence me, eventhough he saw her for exactly who she is. People can go eat butt, who claim that a Virgo in love is critical of their partner ... because they are not.

Serious things happened over 40 years, where this girl hurt my mother, my son, my brother .... and I stuck up for her, I never gave up on her being a good person.

But, she wasn't, and never was ... and my ignorance to the real her is probably the only thing I would address to my 16 year-old self.

And knowing how fucked up I was about her ... I might not even had believed myself at 16

RUN, THAT VIRGO MAN JUST WANTS YOU FOR YOUR FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL ENJOY LIFE!

I am surprised that as a Pisces you did not physically hurt her. Every Pisces I know is not afraid to fight in fact, it's usually let's go cause I'm, tired of talking.

Hey GemsRa!!!! That's not coke, that's crystal!

When you go to college, major in something that makes MONEY!!
When you turn 24, don't marry the Gemini.
Don't be afraid to say what you think.
Credit cards are NOT your friend.

Oh and buy stock in microsoft, phiser pharmaceuticals, yahoo and google when they first appear on the market, especially microsoft!!!

🙂

Do you homework then play music. It's not hard.
Get the chip off your shoulder. Parents not working out has nothing to do with you.
Get rid of burn out friends.
Drive it like you stole it. Oh wait I did that. Drive like a grandpa
Take a vocational class, who cares if it's not cool
stop worrying about things you have no conrol over
just say no

Take a shower every now and then.

@GemsRa
Are you trying to tell us that you were a meth head?

Id tell myself to quit smoking, take whatever I was eating at the time out of my mouth and tell myself that I'm gonna be hot when I'm grown up and to practice my runway walk.

You're going to spend the rest of your life in love with someone you can never have. You should just accept that and get over it now before you spend years of your life irrationally obsessing.

Don't worry about leaving your siblings behind with your mother. They're going to be alright and everything works out okay in the end.

Drop the second job and live a little. They'll still love you even if you're broke.

Never be afraid to kiss the girl.

Stop cutting yourself. You'll be living with those scars forever and they'll become the focus of more self-consciousness and body image issues than you can imagine.

Go ahead and dye your hair blue, pink, purple and every other color you want. Dress weird. Break out into song and dance whenever you feel like it. Show off your art. Follow the hippy halfway around the country. You are who you are and it's okay. Really. Never be ashamed of that.

It's okay if you punch the cheerleader in the face. She's a bitch anyway.

In a few years you're going to meet a beautiful boy who is going to change your entire world forever. When he says the drive will only take 15 minutes don't believe him. Just trust me.

Now put down the pot and go to school, dumbass.

I would've told my 16 year old self to live life the way YOU wanna live, not the way your pastor, your parents, your friends or everyone else wants you to live! I would've told myself to not be afraid to spread my wings even if that meant being unpopular for a short while! I would've told myself that it's ok to make mistakes partly do to being young & dumb but to not use that excuse for everything & for every mistake.
