    The next five years are going to be some of the most devastating years of your life: your brother is going to die, you're going to be diagnosed with two lifelong, excruciating genetic conditions, you're going to have multiple brain surgeries, you're going to barely survive your marriage, but you will make it to the other side. Don't give up. Don't kill yourself. Your life is valuable, you are loved, you are important and you are going to change people's lives by choosing to live. You can do this. Breathe.

    Why is this in chit chat when it's a genuinely interesting topic?

    I don't think I'd bother. I wouldn't change anything. Might warn myself that some things were coming but it would turn out okay, for the peace of mind I suppose

    Don't worry, just hold on and it all turns out out okay; you get there eventually. Also, get to a fucking gym.

    I'd tell myself that everything got better in high school. (which it did)

    ^Something along these lines, but also that there is so much more beyond high school. All that high school drama about popularity, and who gets invited to what party is so insignificant in life - that one day, you will not care about it anymore. You will meet lots of interesting quirky personalities at university who will envcourage you to be more yourself and to embrace your own character.

     

    tl;dr: Life gets even better after high school.

    5 years ago I would have told myself to not get married...or at least to not be as trusting of people even though I've known them for a decade. People are able to change and are able to hide their true selves even from themself. I'd tell myself to keep trucking on because I'll have 2 gorgeous daughters, to not move away from friends and family for the woman you think you want to spend your life with because the ultimate test of strength is apologizing to those same people for being such an idiot and not listening to them when they warned you. I'd tell myself to stick to the theory that "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" and not give third chances.

    I also thought about sending myself a text with my man's full name in it and telling myself to go find him and change my life and his... that way I didn't have to wait to find him! It would only be one year sooner than we met, but that's a whole extra awesome year! But I don't think I would've been ready to meet him a year earlier, I wasn't mature enough yet!

    Visit your mom more often, it may be hard since she doesn't talk but you will always feel guilty that you didn't spend more time with her while you had the chance.

    Trying bouldering, you'll love it.

    I don't have anything profound to tell myself but it sure would be nice to be able to eat tuna again.

    Which school you go to doesn't matter, you should find some good trustworthy friends who care about you. Stop wasting time and procrastinating. Your life will get better eventually. Also, work on your skill and find the balance to life and education.

    I'd tell myself to not let "her" ruin me, and turn me into a recluse who is too scared to be himself.
