    Many people seem to have a fascination, with their past, and regrets and all that 'fun stuff'. I figured, I'll take that fascination, and add a bit to it.

    What would you say to yourself? Would you provide any insight or knowledge, in the hopes they do something differently? Would you want to reprimand or encourage them, in the hopes, they avoid something? Or, would you just want to spectate and reflect?

    For simplicity's sake, you can select any age from the past. The age range of our members, differs quite a bit, so this leaves it open and free. Besides, it makes for a potentially more interesting answer.

    Don't be so angry. You'll survive and everything will be ok.

    Talk to someone about how you feel. Keeping those feelings inside will cause you even more pain.

    Always try to maintain a good relationship. Even if it doesnt seem like it now, it will deteriorate as u get older, and itll be important to you later on. And be nicer to people. Dont try to freak them out. Dont be mean to them. Dont undermine their cruelty now either. Fight it with kindness. Not with hate

    Don't be afraid of listening to yourself and don't try to be someone you're not. And dammit, work harder!

    I would say nothing. I would not choose to speak with my past self.

    Edit: Ah, I thought of something

    I'd probably tell myself I was a boy all along. I spend too long in confusion about my gender.

    I wouldn't change anything. I think that defeats the purpose of my experiences. Maybe I'd have a different opinion of this if I went through what some of my friends did. There ain't much I would say to my past self.

    My young teenage self. You tried too hard to gain approval. Thank you for enduring those years and giving me strength.

    My older teenage self. You went a little off-the-rails. Thank you for learning from those mistakes and giving me courage.

    Learn to trust people earlier--they'll surprise you in a good way.

    I'd be like "Everett! Be more forward with speaking to your crushes, they probably like you too! Don't hesitate to do some partying and live a little bit more. And please put 100% effort into all school work." -_- lol

    Jokes aside though, if I would ever talk to my past, I'd pick the time where I was vulnerable more than I have been in my life. I wouldn't know what to say but I'd just be there. Cry and hug myself (probably even pick a better outfit for my past self)

    You know when you thought about the thing?
    Yeah, that turned out to be true. Also, the other thing. In fact, most things you are thinking right now are true. So don't try to bury them up inside. It doesn't end well.
