    Dad dies when you’re 23. Mom is mentally ill, don’t ruin yourself trying to save her. Buy bitcoin!

    Your parents getting divorced and you should tell your parents to get you diagnosed for autism. Especially since we used to be mute when we were younger and we were also in special ed and rode the short bus.

    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 😭

    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.

  • You have ADHD

    Admitting you are wrong is the first step towards being less wrong

    You are not that smart, you are just a guy with glasses that can’t fight and makes sentences that are way too long

    Be sure to be doubtful

  • 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.

    Next year will be the hardest year you’ve ever had, don’t let it turn you bitter and cynical, people are cruel because they are struggling, hurt, and broken, and turn that around to others. Try to keep your heart open

    Don’t listen to what anyone else tells you.

    It will never get any better for you. Only worse and worse.

    Also never, ever, fall in love. The only women that will ever express any interest at all in you are mentally unstable abusers who will hurt you in ways far worse than your family ever did.

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

    It gets better. Seriously. You will find your people and be happy. It’s just gonna take about seven or eight more years. I promise, life is worth living and you’re gonna do great.
