    however, you may only travel backwards, for some reason. you decide to tell your past self 3 things that will improve their future / your present. what are they and why?
     
    I probably wouldn't, to be honest.

    Three things are more than enough, but it'd be at different times. And if I could only go back (you said nothing of multiple jumps), then I wouldn't even find it worth it.

    And honestly, I try and turn negative experiences into positive, so if I prevented them, who's to say I would have a lot of the opportunities that stemmed from them now?

    So, overall, I'd have to pass on the chance. Is that an option too?
     
    1. I would tell myself to not be so antisocial. It would probably improve my people skills by a longshot if I were to say this to my past self.

    2. I'd tell myself to not get lazy in seventh grade like I did--honestly, that was a stupid idea, and I regret having ever gotten lazy in school.

    3. & Don't believe everything you hear online. There was so many things past me believed that wasn't true--ie: 2012, the rapture of 2011, holy hell would I go back and tell myself to not be gullible.
     
    1. you're fucking gay
    2. don't feel bad for that bitch trust me
    3. seriously you're really gay
     
    Not much I can do, my timeline will probably remain mostly the same. Maybe I'll tell my past self to stop being a buffoon and coward. But I doubt that'll do much. I'd probably have to directly intervene for anything substantial to change.
     
    Steins;Gate makes me too afraid to try any of this stuff. That whole butterfly effect thing freaks me out, and I'm fairly content with how things are right now.
    If I had to pick 3 things though...
    - Don't go to Kansas
    - Dump ex #1
    - Dump ex #2 and 3, as well
