So, I’m just jamming to music, and I’m listening to Letter to Me by Brad Paisley







Anyway, if you could write a letter to yourself at 17 what would you say? What advice would you give yourself? What’s some struggles you was going through that at the time you thought was the end of the world that turned out okay, and maybe you want to let yourself know it will be okay.



Me, oh I would first off tell myself do NOT quit school. I’ll say how I know the anxiety is tough, and the struggle is really horrible. But you HAVE to finish. You have to put the work in and not screw it up. You have to get out into the world. That’s like the main thing I would tell myself because I do regret it. I also tell myself to make sure to tell certain family members how much you love them, and to spend as much time with them as you can.

Don't waste so much time on the fooking internet and video games..That'd be the big one.

Yea, it has took me a while to try to balance those habits.

Probably to use condoms but I'm sure I'd still ignore the advice.

Half your family is going to die before you turn 25.

Get used to it.

I would tell my seventeen year old self to come out as trans way earlier and begin the process of transitioning. I would also say that your most of you family members will either die and leave you/disown you so be prepare to face life yourself. As well as quit being a bitter, cynical person and get help sooner than later. Quit being a douche/bitch of a hipster, and be happy people like or begin to like the same things as you whether it be a wrestler, band, movie series, and so on as well as offer the new people a guide to such like best matches and so on. People will always speak ill of your favorite type of wrestling, music, and so forth so ignore them and continue to enjoy it. Most importantly, I would tell myself to stop hating myself for everything I ain't, and start loving myself for everything I am.

Another thing I want to add to mine is “enjoy the little moments, don’t rush life, and just be thankful for everyone around you. Because you can’t ever get that time back, and you don’t wanna waste it.”

I would tell my 17 year old self is to get out and hang out with friends instead of being on the internet. Learn how to drive so I can have the social life and also be in relationships. And Get mental help.

I regretted my life decisions. I've been stuck in limbo for the longest time, that I'm starting to doubt myself.

I'd tell myself to not be so lazy during my senior year in high school and to push hard at having a decent job after High School.

To be more aware of my Fathers health so that he wouldn't have a heart attack and stroke in his 50s.

Of course to spend less time on the internet and spend plenty of time with family.

To find more of the happiness in everything.

Invest in Facebook and Apple. Bet money on Donald Trump becoming President in 2016. Floyd Mayweather will never lose a fight in his career. Buy two copies of every single video game you buy and keep one sealed up... same with consoles. Invest in Tesla. Invest in Bitcoin. Buy Mclaren F1s and Ferrari 250 GTOs. Get a vasectomy.
