If you could give "younger you" some advice, what would you tell YOU?

#1

This life is YOURS to live, and the only one you have. Love yourself and be forgiving of your mistakes. Be able to support yourself, and do not rely on others to validate your worth. Learn how credit works, Love yourself, take care of your body, wear sunscreen, and NEVER TRY SMOKING!!!

If I could tell younger me something important it would be, "don't forget to have fun!" I was listening to some music that I hadn't listened to in 20 years and remembered how happy I was when I was younger, without a care for the future. Somewhere along the way it became all about working for the future, but I failed to specify when "the future" would start. I no longer work because of my terminal cancer, so I guess the future caught up with me. There's always work and when you die your inbox is likely to be full, but it doesn't matter. Enjoy the people in your life or find others. Whatever your age, make time to enjoy life. Nobody really knows how long they have, don't wait to find out your expiration date.

1. Don't pine over people who aren't reciprocating those feelings. Teen me really needed a wake up call.
2. If you get a gut feeling, go with your gut feeling. 9/10 times you're right...however, don't confuse this with anxiety.
3. Don't let the pressure of expectation crush you, take it from me, it's the worst. It's very hard to shake off and I still haven't fully, but try to live without being constantly pressured by expectations.

Strangers have the best sweets.
Only joking, what I would say, even if it is only a few pennies here and there, try to save some money every month, you never know what's coming around the corner.

People show what they are and how they will justify treating you and others when they're angry. Pay attention and don't allow others to control you through their anger and willingness to cut anyone off when they are displeased. No one is worth putting up with that.
Eternal victims are actually victimizers and you will be shown that if you stay long enough.
Try to be happy with what you have because there will always be something you want but don't have... and the more you own the more you're owned by that junk.
Try to learn to be your own best friend and ally because you will be the only one who is with you at all times to the end.
Integrity and personal responsibility has more benefits to the individual in the long run than always living in the moment trying to take advantage wherever possible. The more you use people the more likely you will end up alone. And in contrast, good people always remember who was there for them when they were in need.

When you're driving with a Big Gulp and see a sign, "last rest stop for 50 miles" STOP! If there isn't active road construction the next 50 miles will be the roughest road you have ever driven. Your bladder thanks you. 😁

Everyone is struggling with something in their life. Maybe it’s money, relationships, addiction, job stress, health issues, or something else entirely different that’s not easy to spot. Start by giving everyone you meet the benefit of the doubt, your life and theirs will be better for it.

We all die eventually. Make sure that when your time comes you have no regrets. Tell the people you love how much they matter to you. Live the kind of life that you can honestly say "I lived a good life and I'm ready to go." You may wish it was longer, but if you can be at peace with the experience it will be less frightening. Is a good life based on everything going your way or owning all the things that are symbols of success? Not at all. It's about the experiences, good and bad, and the people. As long as there's sand in your hourglass, it will be a good day. How does the quote go: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift. That's why it's called the Present.
