    if you could go back to any point in your life and talk to yourself with the knowledge you have presently, what would you tell yourself of the past?
     
    Don't get carried away with emotions and heart, use your brain. Don't dwell into getting cheap happiness, be it from TV or playing games or anything else.

    Avoid those short-term happiness to get a long-term gain, hence take the pain.
     
    It's scary to think about the future, but sometimes it's necessary. Not as much as it may make you anxious but enough to warrant a sense of direction. So that you know where you're going.


    It's scary but moving out of comfort zone…. Took me tooo much time. Or maybe I just created a new comfort zone and didn't move out…? You establish newer and newer comfort zones and you move forward in life, keep pushing. Why? There's no reason. If you'll try to find one you'll be stuck in the same place wondering why. Instead keep going as much as you can, and you'll grow as a person and maybe get closer to the why. Although in the grand scheme of things, nothing matters, so sometimes life shouldn't be taken that seriously. It can get scary if you do. Have fun and make beautiful memories with your loved ones.
     
    Here, you want friends? Try this site, you'll have a much better time on it than you ever will out there. And stop caring what those people (IRL) think of you, they won't have your back when it counts regardless of how hard you try to impress them.

    Despite what everyone else tells you, that kid in the hat (you know exactly who) is and will be one of the best parts of your life. Listen to him, because he knows a lot about what he's talking about. And without him, your life is rather hopeless. With him, you'll have dreams and goals to work towards that will inspire and push you more than anything or anyone else.
     
    Things will get harder, but be sure to take care of yourself too. You won't realize what you want most until you can no longer have it.
     
    Look, things may seem bad and you may want to wish to not exist at all, it will even get worse at one point, however... the thing that will break your mental fortitude is not despair or anything negative, but a combination of great positive things in a short timespan. It will break and evolve into learning how to finally enjoy life and all it comes along with.

    and honestly, screw everyone who doubted you
     
    Here are the winning lottery numbers?

    Don't spend so much time trying to fit in and find "your place" but don't avoid it either. Each failed friendship will teach you both how to be a better friend and how to identify who better friends for you are. You'll meet most of your closest friends in your 30s thanks to all your failed attempts.
