What would current you

[cleverclovers]

Wouldn't call it paranoia. Just protection for myself and child. No one likes broken bones and bankruptsy.

Please don't be too scared to go to college in New York City. You don't realize it, but that decision will impact the rest of your life in a negative way.

Don't let him convince you to take him back. He'll cheat on you with one of your best friends 3 years later and kick you to the curb leaving you w major trust issues.

Like I said in my OP I am not even 20 years old yet, but I am loving reading this thread because I am getting so many wonderful ideas for my future.

And you can drive 110 mph with a legal speed limit - just in a 1/4 on a track!! It is soooo much fun - try it!

This is the year that you are going to get married. You're going to wake up one morning and he is going to say, "Let's get married today". With more than a dozen divorces between both sets of your messed up parents, you may wonder if your own marriage has a chance. Don't worry. Even though you didn't have an example, you and your new husband will navigate very well, together, down the river of life. 25+ years and counting!

I would also tell myself to remember, experiences are much more important than things.

Maybe when I am 40 years old and cars fly the legal speed limit just may be 110 mph.

All the medication and doctors and anxiety and suicide attempts and massive depression...the year and a half you spent in the bed, more or less catatonic...

One day, there will be a man; and with his love and patience, you will learn to love yourself and fill the holes in your heart. You will grow flowers from the ashes. Don't lose hope.

May your life be filled with yet more love, patience, and blessings.

God bless you..

Keep your girlfriends and don't let them get away

 

[havaneselover]

Don't be in a rush to marry. Divorce will suck.

 

[momto2girls]

Loosen up and have fun. Youth is fleeting and it sucks getting old, so enjoy it more while you can.

Don't be afraid to grow up and be an adult. You know what you want to do, what you are good at...DO IT. Don't be afraid to LIVE LIFE!!!

Wait...... But Peter Pan has always told me to never grow up.

 

[NFLDERS]

Be spontaneous, still something I'm not easily embracing but, hey I'm trying.

Lessen some of your skeptical ways.

 

[Waddler]

Eat a little more. Exercise a little less. Wear the frikin' bikini already and stop worrying about the last 3 pounds!

Thank God that Myspace and Facebook don't exist yet, and camera phones are grainy. And thanks for not doing anything really dumb.

Get a degree...yes you will make a living without one, but you won't like what you are doing and with the degree you will be able to choose another path. Your future mother in-law won't like you...there isn't anything you can do to change it so don't focus on it and don't beat yourself up about it. It's her problem and not yours.

Don't let your daughter date that first boy. He is trouble and will cause her serious pain. THIS is a lesson that no daughter should have to learn to stand your ground.

Don't let your doctor convince you to go on steroids for more than 18 months - you will gain a lot of weight and spend the rest of your life struggling (not very successfully) to lose it again. Recognize that how you look is more important than you think.

 

[Teresa Pitman]

Also, at 20 you've already been married for two years. I know it's hell, but you will get four wonderful kids out of this and that will make it worth it.

Ok, would this be better.......Don't be afraid to face responsibility? Cut the apron strings? Rely on yourself more? All while maintaining a child like manner?

 

[okeydokey]

Love yourself more. Don't give yourself away so cheaply in your quest to be loved and accepted. True joy and partnership will find you when you are ready.
