Run away... to another country, nothing to do here!..

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.

Something like, don't post done-to-death threads on AH perhaps?

Touch away, you won't go blind.

Don't buy a Livestrong yellow bracelet or indeed get on the Lance Armstrong bandwagon

Don't go into that bookies.

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.

Look behind you.

Scioch

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

Dear 12 year old me,

Start losing weight and getting fit now 'cause the older and lazier you get, the harder it'll be.
Stop being such a goody-goody all the time. Be reckless and make more mistakes before you're old enough to know better.
Don't do that college course.
Don't be too afraid and too stubborn to seek help when you know you need it.
Don't get so miserable that you sabotage your own happiness.
Don't even speak to, let alone go out with, that manipulative fúcktard who likes you.
Don't be afraid to go travelling by yourself.
Talk to more people, go to more parties, enjoy your youth while you still have it instead of bitterly looking at what the rest of the world around you is doing.
Finally, don't join boards. It'll eat up way too much of your time and lead you to writing cringeworthy posts like this.

From your not-quite-awesome-but-not-terrible-either 22 year old self.

"Pile all your money into property young Pottler, it's a sure fire bet. Only way is up". Or some other crap I'd not have listened to anyway.

Niles

Young Niles, go on and get your Leaving Cert, but don't bother with the whole college thing and get some solid full time work experience instead. By 2009 three years of that will worth more than a poxy BA and a few summer jobs.

*oh and try not damage the space-time continuum in the process. ta.

Dear 12-year-old Jade182,
That dyke haircut does NOT suit you. No, seriously. It's not "Punk", it's ridiculous.
Also, let yourself be crazy every now and then, get your nose out of those books! Stop worrying about the future and live in the now!
P.s. Not kidding about the hair.

Dear Oink,

Plaza, on the evening of the 27th May 2005 you will be asked to join friends at General Tso's restaurant where you will order a Crispy Chicken Starter and a Prawn Chow Mein. For fúcks sake do not eat the Chow Mein.

This will save you enduring 8 days of living in your bathroom with copius amount of waste matter coming out both ends of you. You may even continue to enjoy Johnny Cashs epic ballad "Ring of Fire" which here in 2012 you currently loath due to the flashbacks of May '05.
