discussion If you could go back in time and talk to your 18-year-old self, what is the advice that you’d give him?

Bitcoin too, and take advantage of all the opportunities

 

[El Buho]

I would tell myself to date Asian girls/women.

Get out of your comfort zone for sure. So many opportunities over the years.

That i am loved and that i am good.
That the bullies are just weak and that you, we, should be become strong.

When i was 18 i was in a bad place.
If i can spare myself 20 years of misery shoud i do it?
That misery made me who i am.

I would tell 18yr old me that if any future version of him shows up offering advice, he should not listen to him because that old grimey mu'fucka has done/said/thought so much shady shit that he himself can't even tell what his real intentions or motivations for said advice is.
Frankly, if I were to guess, I'd say he's just trying to get you to stash away that fist-sized rock of pure, crystalized MDMA that's about to fall into your lap by pure chance, instead of wasting it all by spending half a summer givng it away to every girl in sight plus however many dudes needed to not make the vibe weird at parties. But I have no idea as to what he would do with it if that rock didn't end up like that though...

And I'm pretty sure I had some kind of point I was trying to make when I started this post, but time-travel is some confusing shit...so, yeah. This sort of makes the case for telling my 18yr old self to tell his future self to fuck off, I guess.
Not sure how far back, how young of a me, I would have to time-travel back to, before the youthful innocence would outweigh the tainted wisdom from the years I've lived til now. But I know I shouldn't go near it, that way there's still a chance that this post won't ever be written....

Bitcoin and their highest recorded price and the winning lotto numbers for that year.

 

[danielred]

Buy as many bitcoin i can and never fall in love

 

[fyl3toys]

I'd tell myself to stay in college the first go round and also not get married.

 

[MTelly]

stop playing games all day i'd say

You're not the only one who feels like they're making it up as they go along. Most people are and are also hoping nobody notices.

Some investment tips regarding tech stocks. Otherwise I find the question very difficult. Mistakes ultimately make you the person you have become. And if you never make mistakes because someone gave you great advice, what kind of person would you be?

You'd still make mistakes. Just all new ones.

But I agree that life is about experiences and they shape the person we become.

Take the time you need to deal with your depression rather than struggle on for another year or two.

 

[hellgyf]

Bitcoin too for sure
Also start grinding LC coin

 

[DrZen]

Drink water, sleep well and buy a ton of bitcoin

 

[Kira2020]

Don't drink that glowing liquid you found on the wall of the abandoned warehouse near the train depot.
