Hi, I'm your 10yo self. Is there something you wanna tell me/warn me about?

Put your handheld valuables or nice trinkets away anytime a friend is bringing over someone you don’t know. I miss my PSP :(

Buy Bitcoin! Sell in November 2021!

the dizzy juice will make you stupid, and by the time it stops being fun you'll be too stupid to quit

Don't smoke cigarettes ever.

Slow down at that blind corner in October 1989.

Don't take the shortcut to downtown in July 1994.

Don't lift that giant tube tv by yourself in May 2005.

Never stop exercising, playing guitar, writing, and painting/multimedia art.

You're a girl mfer 🥲

You ain't straight.

Don't sell your Gameboy. You'll regret it within a week.

Keep hiding when you hear him come. It’ll get better. You’ll leave and he’ll die, alone. She loves you but must deal with her own issues which are related to being his wife. Hang in there.

YOU. ARE. A. GIRL!

Choose the other school, like the smart guy did.

No.

But, uh... I have a ROM of Sonic 2 where you can play as Sonic Tails AND Knuckles, all at the same freaking time.

Wanna play it?

You're not lazy, you're not stupid, and you're not a loser. You just have ADHD, and once you figure that out things will get much, much easier. Hang in there.

TW child abuse

Both your mum and dad are using you to hurt each other. The stuff they tell you, the way they hit you and scream at you, all that is wrong. It's not your fault, and I love you because despite all the evil they unleashed on you, you grow up to be a sensitive, caring, loving human being.

You have autism. You are not broken, or lazy. You spend your time daydreaming because the real world is incredibly shitty to you. Next time you see a doctor, ask them to speak to them alone, and ask them to get you the help you need.

None of those children are your friends. They're nasty bullies and you don't need their approval.

Your life gets better. Find this girl in America and be her penpal. Meet up, she's your soulmate. Tell her everything you know to help her heal, and she'll help you in return.

Memorize these dates and use them to make fucktons of money. Use your billions to plant trees. Plant as many trees as possible, as early as possible.

See you in 40 years. Sincerely, you.

Edited to add:

This is a hug, your parents never hug you and you need to be comforted. They've never told you they love you, and that's incredibly important to do every day.

It's ok to cry, don't shut that part of you off to stop the bullying.

Don't get on a motorcycle like your dad wants, you don't have good hand eye coordination or good eyesight, and the accident you get into leads to lifelong chronic pain.

You are not ugly, and it's ok to be weird! Celebrate your uniqueness!

Instead of sitting outside a locked house for hours after school, go to the library and read, you're allowed to do that.

That teacher is a pervert, don't be their friend just because they talk to you.

Spend more time with your aunts and grandmother, they love you and can help you feel normal.

Your mum lies to you about a lot of stuff, she's very damaged and taking it out on you because you arrived a month after her 16th birthday. She was r***d by your dad and made to stay with him, none of that is your fault or burden to bear.

Your brother is an annoying little shit, just walk away from him. He grows up into a nasty fascistic asshole who blames everyone else for his failures. Including you. Do not ever get involved with anything he does, especially to do with computers

You have way too much put on you for such a young person. Read these books for ways to withstand it all. I wish I could travel back in time and adopt you.

1. Do not let Mom ever have brain surgery.
2. Make grandma see a different doctor. The current one is clueless.
3. Bust Dad for smoking in secret and force him to stop. You know how it can be done.
4. Idea of Mom and Dad getting a divorce is a scary one, but it probably would make their and your life a lot better.
5. Start jogging daily. You'll never like it, but you need to do it to.
6. Ask her out when you're 15. She likes you too.
7. Start taking guitar and piano lessons. Turns out you have musical talent, you just haven't realized it yet.
8. No, I won't tell you how to get rich. You'd fuck your life up royally with unlimited money.

Hell no. You actually think in this social climate, as a grown-ass man I'm gonna be seen talking to a ten-year-old boy whose relationship to me can't be explained in a way any reasonable person would believe?!

That little shit can figure it out on his own, just like I had to.

Tell dad about everything going on. Don't stop telling him. He's the one who will help you get away from the bad stuff that's about to start, and keep it from getting worse. Things will still hurt, but not as much. He can help you through the confusion.

And he won't hate you for feelings you're already having. He'll help it make sense, help you find the words you keep looking for.

Don’t do drugs. Ever.

If you are being pressured by your peers, change them. There are other peers out there who will value your decision.

Mine Bitcoin when it comes out because they actually will become valuable in the future.

It's not your fault. Tell someone. You'll survive.

Defend yourself. If he tries to touch you, make a fuss. Also, you're gay.

Appreciate your brother. You've only got a few more years with him.

Hey! It’s ok that you feel like a girl trapped in a boys body! Mom and Dad won’t really like it, but they will eventually come around. You can do this!

So you love watching anti-pride protests on YT, right? Actually you love cocks too. You're bi haha cope kiddo does fortnite dances.

Yes, I'm going to tell you about the 4-5 girls, that were/will be interested in you but you were/will be to dumb to notice. Stay calm, be yourself and take a little initiative. It'll be alright!

Call your dad more often.

You WILL actually end up with a boring, white collar job, and you can make a lot more money a hell of a lot easier if you don't get any tattoos from the neck up.

Also, you hate them but you're really good with computers.

Be less Christian to be more Christ-Like.

Being gay is not something you're stuck with, it's who you are and you have every right to celebrate it.

You're very clever. Don't use your cleverness to manipulate or do harm.

You will find love.

ACAB

There's a smallish coffee company up in Seattle called Starbucks. Invest early and often. And while you're up there be sure to catch a Mother Lovebone show, but don't get too attached to Andy Wood.

I love you.

Your parents are doing their best with the tools they have, but they're preparing you for the world they grew up in - not the one you will live in. The things you think are for other people? They're for you too. You can have them, it's just going to be a lot of work to get there.

It's okay to be alone. There will be people later who will enjoy your presence, but if you're only comfortable alone that's okay. As long as you try every once in a while.

You're gonna end up almost dying at around... 16 yrs? Do not go through that target training course.

Oh, and you're Ace & Genderfluid, have fun!

Ask an older relative to invest a couple hundred dollars for you, in both Apple and Microsoft, not to be touched for at least 2 decades.

You have ADHD

Admitting you are wrong is the first step towards being less wrong

You are not that smart, you are just a guy with glasses that can't fight and makes sentences that are way too long

Be sure to be doubtful

Tell her you love her. You won't be harmed, even if she doesn't feel the same.

Take time to be a player of your own life, not just a spectator.

Keep a low profile and you'll be fine. Just don't take parenting/relationship advice from your parents.

Also: School stuff really is freaking easy if you'd put in just a little bit of real effort.

And skip that girl you meeed when you are 17. She's trouble.

• Try to listen/think before you start talking.
• Listen to your parents even if you don't feel like it.
• Stop watching the naughty stuff because it's bad for you.

Dad dies when you're 23. Mom is mentally ill, don't ruin yourself trying to save her. Buy bitcoin!

stay away from that one girl, you'll know which

You've got some fucked up shit heading your way kiddo, can't really do anything about it though so I guess just git gud and toughen up? Also, avoid alcohol, it doesn't help and will eventually kill you.

You're literally attracted to red flags, and that's gonna color how you interact with the world if you don't dodge it. You're better off following your attraction to men; somehow, against all odds, you manage to dodge the cheaters on that side of the baseball diamond.

Your dad is a piece of shit. Find a mentor before your too old and you have to figure it all out by yourself.

Eh forget about that man. Despite sharing his name, he’s not even your real biological father. Family is about more than genetics.

TELL YOUR MOM TO INVEST IN APPLE SHE'LL MAKE BANK

Get your thyroid checked out. Turns out major depressive disorder can be brought on by hypothyroidism. Who knew?

You think being a Jehovah's Witness is bad? Pro tip, move in with dad but don't be his friend. Don't fall for any kind of "modeling" scam he pulls on you.

Theres a few:

• yeah, don't buy PC parts and wow gold with those bitcoins you will mine in 2011...

• watch out for the fallen tree at the bottom of the hill on the bike path, your breaks don't work very well.

• some older kid will decide to bully you, but dont let it bother you so much. Loser ends up unaliving himself via drunk driving into a wall later on.

• oh also don't take your ps1 and gamecube collection to EB games for trade in, you only get 3 xbox 360 games out of the deal and will regret it.

You will miss your family, lose your friends, and your home will be taken from you.

You're gonna be the happiest you've ever been, but it's going take another 30 years and a failed marriage to get there. Hang tough - it's worth it!

Tighten the nuts on your bike every so often pal.

The things she says will confuse and frustrate you. She will pretend to love and care for you. She will abuse you. She will hurt you. She will threaten you and manipulate you. She will try to make you believe it's your fault. She will make you question whether you really experienced the things that happened to you. She will lean on you. She will expect and even demand things of you that no mother should ask of their child.

Go and build a network of support. Look at how other kids behave with their families. Yours is not normal or healthy. You are not a checked box on somebody's list. You are not a trophy to be paraded around. You are not her friend or her therapist. You are not a dog to be whipped into obedience. You are your own person. She will never give you the stability you need or the love you deserve.

There will be times that you will not feel safe. You will get out. You'll find friends who will shelter you, couches to sleep on. They see your pain. They understand. It will be okay. It does get better. I love you, and you will learn to love yourself.

And hey, it's not all doom and gloom, yeah? The games are so fucking good. Like there's a lot of trash but there's story and writing in some of these that's so profound and it brings you so much joy. I know it'll be hard to believe at times, but it's worth sticking around.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT sell that mini NES. You. Will. Regret. It.

Dude, run.

When you finish college - keep making/playing/studying music. Play more rugby - when you're too old to play you'll wish you had. Don't sell your mandolin or your acoustic guitar. You'll regret them both in later years. Buy bitcoin.

In a few years there will be something called Bitcoins, buy them, like a lot. Double what you think of and sell them 2021.

You can just buy a Sega Megadrive in a few years time if you really want one, you don't need the parents to agree to that, just be patient.

Stay away from weed and you'll get to live your dream.

God isn't real

Buy Bitcoin ASAP and have a prepping plan

Your family doesn't care for you

Nah, you're good.

1. you're right about all the contradictions in the Bible
2. drop everything and immediately begin learning Java and Python. if you get good enough you can skip college entirely and save years of emotional hell
3. convince mom to let you quit the instruments you hate playing and do computer extracurriculars instead
4. buy bitcoin sell in Nov '21 lol (or just invent it)
5. learn Mandarin Chinese, not Japanese. also maybe chill w/ the weeb shit
6. move to NYC as soon as you can and DO NOT LEAVE even if there's a scary pandemic because you won't be able to afford to move back and you'll miss it real bad :(
7. BUY AN EARTHBOUND CARTRIDGE BEFORE THEY BECOME UNOBTAINABLY EXPENSIVE 😭

Punch that fucker Liam right in his smug face, he's a little bitch and is all talk, and you miss the chance once he goes to jail.

Keep going with your Euphonium practice, or you'll forget it all and you're really good at it.

Don't be scared to ask for stuff you need, you aren't imposing on anyone and nobody is going to hate you for it.

Hold on for just a couple more years. I know it will seem like an eternity, and I know the damage that has been done. But you will be moving to a much better place.

Invent something called "citalopram," You'll be rich and feel better at the same time.

It gets better. Seriously. You will find your people and be happy. It's just gonna take about seven or eight more years. I promise, life is worth living and you're gonna do great.

I'd tell my 10-year old self that 9/11 jokes will be a thing and "America deserved 9/11".

Little me, you haven't got the time to hear it

You are beautiful.

Your parents getting divorced and you should tell your parents to get you diagnosed for autism. Especially since we used to be mute when we were younger and we were also in special ed and rode the short bus.

carry on, life is great. Endure and you will be happy. It suck right now but you will spend way more time happy than sad.

even with 100+% broker costs, put EVERY dime you don't need in Apple stock

tell the child psychiatrist that you are trans.

don't go to san antonio you will get into a knife fight and the cops will be called

don't start doing sex work the money isn't worth it

"You are not responsible; you were loved and wanted. Don't lower your head. Dare to speak your mind. Don't be afraid to tell others what you go through. You are going to be a bigger person than you expect."

Your life isn't going to be "normal" and it's not your fault. You are going to be different and it's not because you are better or worse. just different. Just do your best and that's all anyone can want from you.

Next year will be the hardest year you've ever had, don't let it turn you bitter and cynical, people are cruel because they are struggling, hurt, and broken, and turn that around to others. Try to keep your heart open

Don't stop Martial Arts training!

Don't.

Say no more often.

no

Programming is really not as hard as it looks to start, just don't start with C++ for the love of god lmao

There will be a time when manipulative charisma will feel strangely like love and home. Don’t listen, learn what real love feels like.

Run away from home and stay gone as soon as you can. Never talk to your parents again.

Please don't let your dad marry that cunt who'll become your absolute doom in the future. She may seem nice and warm but it's a fucking facade. She's a fucking cunt and they will destroy every inch of happiness you have.

Get a family member to invest big money in AMD and Tesla.

Keep feelings to yourself and be cautious of ladies.

Don't worry about school, don't go to university. Just work any job and buy the first house you can possibly afford.

What ever you do in 1991 don’t go into….

Portion sizes. Your mom isn't controlling you so you gotta do it yourself.

No you are not.

Plenty of people you love end up killing themselves.

Maybe it's not such a terrible idea to precede them and save yourself the grief of abandonment.

Don't listen to what anyone else tells you.

It will never get any better for you. Only worse and worse.

Also never, ever, fall in love. The only women that will ever express any interest at all in you are mentally unstable abusers who will hurt you in ways far worse than your family ever did.

I talk to him all the time warning about the abusive family and the fucked up country that recently experienced a nato backed coup , and the liberal/fascist lies on our b&w tv. I tell him it'll only get worse if he believes and internalizes all that but he's still breaking windows in explosive rage, having daytime hallucinations and blackouts but it'll get better now that he has me as a dad.

Remember those ideas you're having about living on your own and being respected by other people? Sorry, that's not gonna happen.

Dont open that site

Don't ride your bike off that boulder...Rollerskates aren't your forte.

Don’t back down, ever. What are they going to do, punch you? You’ve had worse.

It’s ok to be yourself, they might not understand but will respect you for it.

Don’t try to label yourself, you’ll never find a match and will only doubt yourself.

You are loved by more people than you realize. Talk to someone if you feel hurt or confused.

Most importantly: I believe in you.

PS: go easy on your little brother, he has his own crap to deal with.

Don't do drugs

Don't drive to the bar. If your vehicle is there, you'll try to drive home when, not if, you black out. The alcoholism only gets worse from there and takes you YEARS to recover from.

The only thing you're gonna like about being an adult is staying up late and having dessert before dinner...

Also you will reach a point in your life where having dessert before dinner, well shit- having a meal in general will be a blessing- but you'll pass it, and you'll probably go back in time to annoy yourself.

also for god sakes YOU ARE NDN

Find a way to stay in touch with the guy you met by rambling about fnaf with him before middle school begins. Also you’re autistic, which DOESN’T mean you’re just dumb as it turns out (and is also the reason why you sketch fnaf maps every day), and btw you should look into that Bernie Sanders guy who the news is still kinda talking about

Don't learn shit to change the world, but to become wealthy. You won't change it, so make yourself comfortable.
