Love yourself unconditionally baby girl. There are some people out here who's sole purpose is to make the world a harder place to live. But showing yourself unconditional love will make it a little bit easier to bare. You got this. Love you! 💗🤗
Move to Morocco and really focus on your drumming.
I would tell my younger self at least four things:
1) Go camping in the cold more often, with food that you carry in and cook yourself over a fire; You will appreciate the modern conveniences which you have at home more, such as your central heaters, your stoves and ovens and microwaves.
2) Add challenge and change to your life more often; Do not get too comfortable, because you will see that one day your life will start changing on you fairly rapidly, and you will be able to weather those changes better when you have had more experience with changes and challenges in your youth.
3) Don’t shy away from time and physical proximity with other people when you go through a time of poverty in your future just because you feel ashamed and embarrassed about your poverty in that season of your life. You need the closeness of people. Don’t avoid them just because you feel inadequate.
4) Write down what you want to achieve in your future, where you want to go, who you want to be, and what kind of people you want to meet and connect with and find and be around in your life. This will help you to literally attract those people and things into your life.
Avoid a certain person. She isn't worth it.
Amazing post !!! ♥️ 🌌 : )
-Less dating and more self improvement/awareness -save more money -get only one credit card
How younger?
• You are worth more, don't chase. Know when to let go.
Easier said than done, though the older I get, the better I get at reading people and letting them go when they act up or leave me hanging.
• Not everyone is out to hurt you. There are people who care, you just gotta find them and give them a chance.
• You are a good problem solver and these obstacles that get you depressed are nothing compared to what you're capable of, Your Highness. lol.
@FloridaSunshine Oh gosh! I wish I knew the value of saving or even the word saving when I was like 10 to 15 years old. Gosh... I've missed* so much. Though meh, better late than never.
PS. I now tell others (especially youths dealing with abuse, to help them better work out an exit plan depending on their situation) about the value of savings and building an emergency fund. As well as letting them know that they aren't alone and there are places that can help.
Really ? My parents instilled that in me since I was a kid .BUT I wish I pushed myself more to go out less and save more money .
That’s great !
@Lovelight
@NicoSnuggs ~ May I please copy that verbatim and send it to my younger self?! Perfect advice!!!
@FloridaSunshine Lucky you! I actually barely went out nor spent in dumb ways that I regret (minus the few dumb dollar store purchases or the ocassional sugary stuff that I'd be like why did I do that?!). Then get disapproval from my family for it, not sure which came first. I still don't spend recklessly with what little I have, I guess it's in my blood to not really be drawn to shiny things. However, now, I try to have a tiny monthly budget to enjoy and I don't beat myself up if I couldn't resist an ocassional ice cream.
Though still wish knew about savings much earlier, cause then I may have been able to make some changes to save a bit or began to save much earlier.
Save & invest money and don’t hold off on traveling, just go!
when your friend who ended up touring the world with his moderately famous industrial metal band asks you to do vocals for a new industrial metal band he is starting, say yes
@quixotic_life - Yes you may! Copy and send away. Last time I checked, the time machine is in the back room to the left, near the garage.
Get a vasectomy immediately
Profanity removed. You can bold or italicize to emphasize, but mind the language, @BigBear4Cuddles - Thanks. -Sid
I’d tell my younger self not to hide the real me trying to make the world happy. I’ve learned that the people meant to be in your tribe will love you for who you really are!
Yes @arghdaddy! So much travel to do!
Cocaine is bad for you
She's big trouble, bruh...
Say no to everything of which you are about to begrudgingly say yes.
Listen to your gut. You’ll never regret it.
Let love in.
Don’t apologize for existing.
Be your own guardian and all that entails.
Don't sacrifice yourself for situations that aren't reciprocal. You'll fill someone's tank and be left on empty.
"You are 100% going to regret not being who you are, or taking pride in who you are. You're going to wish you could come back and do it all over again. You think you've got it hard now, you think you have no regrets now, but hey, you're only what? 13? 14? In 13 years you'll think about how much you've changed on the outside, how much your world has changed, and how much you wish you could go back and really be yourself, but you'll come to the realization that you only have control over now. So start treasuring now and living in the moment that is now. Don't wait for anybody to start letting you be yourself - just start doing it, now."
Hang on, did I just open some sort of warped self-grandfather paradox here?
Sharing is stupid 🙄...Joking. To be fearless and never stop loving yourself. If we don't give ourselves love, peace and harmony how can we give it to others. ♡♡♡♡♡♡
@TheMidnightOwl & @Mela_B 💯
Even though I'm still somewhat young. I wish I knew this at an early age. Spend time with the elderly, explore opportunities that you've never knew about. Dont waste your time try to make friends because those that want to be in your life will, and those that don't will use and abuse you. And most important do your absolute best in everything you do. No matter what you do.
You did @Catloaf; And it is wonderful. ✨
"Self care is not selfishness. Feelings are important. You are worthy of love and respect."
I'd say these things to my younger self, but I'm not sure my younger self was ready to believe them.
Take Risks...do not fear failure.
Treat Others Kinder than you expect to be treated.

This is literally a gem 💎 of advice!! ♥️ 🌌 😊
Everything comes down to how well you take care of yourself.
Don't let anything- not your chronic depression or your debilitating anxiety & panic disorder- get in the way of that. You MUST do what you need to do each day... Eat well, brush your teeth, take a shower, go outside in the sunshine, spend time with loved ones, keep your plans. Don't isolate and shut yourself off. It only gets harder to change as you get older, so start working on whatever you need to NOW. Yes- it's going to be hard, but so, SO worth it. Please, just trust me on this.
