My present self, speaking sternly to my past self while holding firmly on the shoulders:
"Take that fucking work experience, Bathory. They're offering you work experience in high school and you're going to blow that opportunity playing games and lounging at home? Fuck that man *slaps past self*, you gotta do this before you end up like me - 20 years old and no fucking job or experience required to get one. Don't fall for that bullshit, man. By my age, you should be employed and living the prime of your life, not sitting around at home doing sweet fuck all. Turn the stereo off, put the games back up on the shelf and get out there to that work experience, and out into that social life before you fuck it all up!"
Or something to that effect. Why oh why didn't I take that work/job experience when it was provided? Fuck I regret not sticking in at school.

I would tell myself to ask the doctor about endometriosis before I had a ovarian cyst bigger than my head...
Seriously not getting diagnosed for 20 odd years has ruined my life, and I went to the doctors numerous times...

Here we go, in no particular order, addressed to my self at various different points in time:
"You know that Minecraft thing you've been hearing about? Yeah? BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!"
"You know all that religious stuff you've been hearing? It's all a waste of time, trust me."
"Remember, it's Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence, all the others just signed it."
"in case you're wondering, as of 2013, Valve still has not made Episode Three, so don't get your hopes up."
"Don't worry, your Parents' divorce won't last for more than a year."
"Long hair is NOT girly, and whoever tells you that is an idiot."

2003: kiss her you fool!
2004: KISS HER YOU FOOL!
2011: get over her, she just sees you as a friend
2012: seriously! get over her!
2013: buy condoms before you got to that party. you won't regret it (and don't wear the tight jeans!)

Hey, me in 2004-2008, you know those guys you kind of try to avoid because they look 'uncool'? Yeah, get over that shit. They're awesome people and you'll regret it if you avoid getting close to them because it'd hurt your 'rep'. The whole rep thing will mean jack shit in a few years anyway, so just join them, and talk to them. Trust me on this. Oh, and you know that group of childhood friends you've made through grade school? Stay with them. Keep in touch with them. Do NOT let yourself grow distant and then start avoiding them. You are weird and dorky and odd and silly. That's fine. They don't mind that. They still accept you. If you don't, you'll go from 8 people who accept your nerdy, dorky self to 1. And you'll start growing distant from him.
Just trust me on this. Please. Don't try to change to look "cool". It's not worth it.
Also, when you move, and if you didn't take my advice, make damn sure you have the contact information of what few friends you have left and don't let you all grow apart. Same goes for the friends you make at your new school. Seriously, trust me on this. The new people you meat are good people, and you'll regret the hell out of it if you stay so distant from everyone.
Oh yeah one more thing, this is less "heavy" so don't worry. In 2007 you'll meed a group of people on Xbox Live belonging to a clan called "DOA". Do NOT change your XBL username! Your friends will leave the clan the next day and change their tags. DON'T CHANGE WITH THEM! You'll still have it all the way in 2013 and you'll look like a jackass.

I would hold up a picture of myself at 13 to my 8 year old self and say ?no more mcdonalds and start working out sooner?
?Oh and when Katie asks you if you like her sister she doesn?t mean as a friend so don?t say yes idiot?
to 2007 "Stop being a good guy start being selfish trust me you have it in you and it pays off good god does it pay off"
Travels to June 2008 "stay away from that one small group of "friends" for the remainder of the school year. Shit goes really wrong one day in the cafeteria if you don't"

To Bush, 2010:
Don't eat the nachos. They quite literally taste like puke, and you will end up regretting it for the rest of the month.

Dear past Ahri,
It gets better. You're stronger than you know.
Stop dwelling on the people who don't think you're good enough, and surround yourself with those who think you are.
Stop playing World of Warcraft, that game is toxic and will feed your anxieties rather than soothe them.
Don't listen to anyone who says "I can change" despite evidence proving that they really can't.
Also, never be afraid to tell anyone (particularly your family!) that you love them.
PS: Dye your hair red, you'll feel like a total babe and get much more attention.
I love you!
Future Ahri
PPS: Stop getting wasted and expecting me to deal with the aftermath. That shit isn't cool.

Don't bottle up all that emotion.
You are setting yourself up to be almost dangerously unstable.
I'm talking punching people you don't know in broad daylight for seemingly no reason or worse.
I know it's hard to think this could be so given that you barely speak when there are more than two people around, but please trust me.
