    dear younger me:

    like every young person who has just "realized they are born" you think you know it all - you don't. Listen to your elders - they've been there, done that, and know better than you. You, in fact haven't lived enough to know anything about life yet.

    Yours sincerely
    Your older and wiser self. :D

    Don't go into that bookies.


  • Registered Users Posts: 222 ✭✭SmilingLurker


    Don't worry so much. If the relationship is not fully right leave, you will find the right person for you.

    Do the numbers in investments, trust your instincts. The crowd will be wrong.

    Work hard, but take time for you and live. Prioritize your social life like you do at work.

    Dear younger me, drop out of school, borrow like a mad bastard, invest it all into property and enjoy the life of Reilly. Cash out before 2007 and once the whole thing falls to shít buy up all the bonds. Dont worry, you cant lose ;)

    PS. Jimmy Saville is a paedo, keep clear.

    Dear Me:

    - Days go slow, but years go fast. Time runs faster than you think. DO NOT waste it.

    - You will sooner than you think lose the advantage of being younger than your contenders.

    - Unless you're seriously humiliated, never leave a job before already having signed up for another one.

    - A low salary job is better and will make you feel better than no job at all.

    - You know well who of the men who are interested in you are worthy men. Do not take them for granted.

    - You know well who is even beyond that. Cherish how he treats you and protects you. YES, he truly is something else. DO NOT let him go.

    - Not everyone who treats you nicely is your friend.

    - But not everyone who is not your friend, is your enemy.

    - You already know you're a little too paranoid. They're not all out to get you, all right?

    - Think twice before hurting someone you love.

    - Keep learning languages, you'll see how they come in handy.

    - Your dad will not even come close to old age. You already know you're his weakness. Fill him with happy memories, for there will come a time when this and people's company will be all he can enjoy.

    - Your mama is not completely healthy and will scare you a few times, but she'll make it. Tell her not to carry heavy stuff.

    - Watch your little sister. You know she's good, but she can become too hard and skeptical.

    - Sometimes, you suck as a friend. Come on, give those old chicas the love they deserve.

    - Yes, the friends you have kept since kindergarten will still be by your side for the years to come.

    - Keep that room tidy.

    - You're young. Fix your teeth NOW, for you will not want to wear braces when you're older.

    - Respect yourself and treat yourself well.

    - Travel lots.

    - Watch your weight.

    - Worry less, enjoy more.

    - Seize the opportunities right when you have them.

    Love,

    You
