Learn the warning signs that identify the obsessive, psychotic, potentially violent *kitten* and keep your heart off your sleeve until you can tell whether you're mixed up with one.
Also, don't let people pressure you to do things you don't want to or not to do things you really want to. 90% of your future regrets involve this.
But--don't let it sour you on love.0 -
1. For the most part, you have known the rules of the universe apply to you, but when you forget this, like others, the universe will more often than not, bite you in the *kitten* for thinking differently.
2. Just because you can, and even though you say you are giving full disclosure, it doesn't make it right, especially when you know she heard you, but wasn't listening. So her affections weren't to by toyed with, come on Rob, you're better than that.
3. Put 10% of your income away, so you're not putting 20% away.
4. Even though you did it right the first time, I HAVE TO EMPHASIZE, any heart breaks or whatever might motivate you to settle, DON'T, you will meet a woman named Felicia later in life and it's important that you are available.0 -
Enjoy free weekends and having no responsibilities. And don't quit softball and rowing crew!!0

1) For GOD'S sake, don't go on birth control!! It will mess up your unfairly fast metabolism, and you'll have to watch what you eat for the rest of your life - even after you stop taking it!!!
2) Know that men will say ANYTHING to get you into bed. As sincere as he seems, he is full of ****!!0 -
1) Putting yourself through pain in order to make somebody else happy never works. Do things because you want to do them.
2) Don't eat too much fast food.0 -
Don't hit your sister with that shovel. Dad won't be pleased.
Don't throw that boomerang at your sister, it's not coming back.
Stop eating all those Double Whoppers, you'll never get laid.0 -
No matter what Mama and Papa tell you...... you never have to stop climbing trees, building forts, doing cartwheels or eating with your fingers. And btw - dont stress - when you up grow youre a badass fashion photog in NYC - so dont give any shts about highschool and dont bother with college stress either - its gonna be fine. Adulthood's where its at.
Go have fun and play - I got your back.0 -
Dear little me: BEG your parents to let you become a ballerina. Swimming made for an amazing eleven years, but dancing will continue to make your heart sing as an adult.
Dear middleschool me: Don't let your mama cut your bangs. Just don't. You have a widows peak, they'll stick out horizontally from your face for about a month.
Dear highschool me: Be kind. Love God. Remember when you're feeling angsty and misunderstood, it's because you're not taking any time to understand those around you. And seriously, stay the f* away from a certain boy and his guitars. Just don't even go there. Your real soulmate loves you in such an honest, transparent way. Hold out for that.
Dear college me: Don't be afraid of moving to the other side of the world. Take some time to really figure out what you want to study. And lastly, don't lose your compassion. You were put on this planet to help. Don't forget that.0 -
Never pass a toilet
Never waste a boner0 -
PUT DOWN THE LITTLE DEBBIE'S RIGHT NOW.0

To my 12-year-old self: 1) your mother loves more than you could ever know, and 2) just because you both suck at communicating doesn't make #1 false.0

Dear younger me, don't listen to the comments made about your socks and sandals, oversized glasses, and Goodwill clothes. One day that'll become 'fashion.'0

well, my big sis was 13 when I was born and was kinda a mean teenager that liked to torture me. I would tell the little me not to believe a word she said. When I was in kindergarten and she was 18 (old enough to know better) she thought it was funny to encourage me to scrape my nose freckles off with a butter knife. Among many other bad ideas. I'd hide my piggy bank from her too.0

No matter what you do, when you turn 17 don't buy the motorcycle...damn near killed myself on one running into the back of a truck and flying through the back and out the side of the camper topper. Had 200 stitches, rocks embedded in my legs and chest, a deep gash over my eye and one down the inside my leg.0

To my teen self:
Stop eating quite so much. It's easier than you think.
Take your art more seriously! You'll decide to go into it as a profession.
No matter how much you love him, don't date him. Always wondering what it might have been like to be together is far preferable to the tears and years it takes to get over him when it ends.
And that boy you're friends with, but is maddeningly grumpy and aloof? He grows into the most wonderful man imaginable, and you're going to marry him.0 -
ask out as many girls as humanly possible, it's a numbers game. Hit the gym before you do it0

Keep up the good work.0

To me as a teen:
He will make you sad for a veeerrry long time.....Don't settle...0 -
Eat breakfast! It really does matter!0

Don't wear that.
Don't stop painting.
Stick to one instrument and be persistent.
Break up with him already.0 -
To little me:
When the coach and friends were telling you to build up stamina and take3-5 rounds of the ground......F***ing do those rounds. It was really important for the sport.
Dont take exercise classes as boring they will benefit you.
Dont eat dinner again with friends once you already had dinner at home, its funny being young you have extra capacity but you will gain lot of weight. Dont eat extra.
Love salads they are GOOD for you!
Dont use your bike for every little distance you need to go, try walking more and more.
Do push ups regularly otherwise after 30 you will not be able to do even two of them.
You should be worried when you find it difficult to get your jeans, dont laugh at it.
Etc etc:)0 -
Dude you are such a handsome sexy muther****a you better start working out earlier... people would want to get laid with you even if you are fat but you better be sexy to feel like you can walk the world naked.
Sincerely your sexier and older self.0 -
Dear young Sandi,
You owe it to yourself to be happy, and... only YOU can make yourself happy! Stop wasting your life wallowing in self pity!
And, for God's sake, listen to your mother when she tells you the guy you're so crazy about is a dishonourable ****.... 'coz he's gonna cheat on you one day and break your heart!
And don't stop being active, 'coz you'll grow FAT!
All my love
Much wiser Sandi0 -
"**** the system. You'll hate every one of your three years in college, so don't waste your time. Chase your dream even though everyone else is telling you it's nothing more than that."0

Stop waxing your eyebrows so thin, you'll spend a small fortune making them look normal as an adult, and you'll spend even more covering up that awful $50 tattoo.0
