    Don't settle down so young - give yourself a chance to find out who you are as a person.

    No advice really, other than DO NOT buy property near your in-laws. But other than that, thanks for taking such good care of me. I'm keeping up the good work so my old me can be proud, too. :heart:

    There's no such thing as a "happy ending" in life. If you want something bad enough, it doesn't just "work out" in your favor, you have to work on it, give it everything, and sometimes it still doesn't happen for you.

    Also, you cannot pray away a vasectomy, so to my 16-year-old self I would say that you're not old enough to decide you don't want children. You will eventually want them more than anything, and marrying a man whose been snipped (although you'll love him more than you thought you could) will cause you many nights of sadness, frustration, and eventually depression.

    I would say....It is not so bad that it is not worth living....to try to end your life with only leave more empty and with less support...also after the divorce (which you should not get self) don't get in another relationship for at least 1 year and make sure is well worth your time and company

    Don't be in a rush to grow up so fast! Enjoy and smell the roses. Going to be 39yo this year and look back at life as a series of moments. Enjoy those moments!

    Don't date that guy. Or that one. OR THAT ONE. And, don't be so hard on yourself; it'll make life simpler.

    I think i would rather focus on the here and now and get going with matters at hand than look back through the lens of regret. Can't change the past but we can build the future..

    Other than "Get off your fat *kitten*"? Do what makes you happy. Don't do things just because your parents want you to be someone you're not. And go to the doctor to get diagnosed with depression sooner rather than later - it might have made the last few years a lot easier knowing what was wrong and doing something about it.

    You are worthy, you are important, you matter and don't let anyone tell you different.



    That's something I am going to tell my children everyday of their lives.
