Hey Pandas, If You Could Tell Your Younger Self Anything What Would It Be? (Closed)
A lot of us have things we wish we had known or done when we were younger so I'm curious if we could tell our younger selves anything what would we say

Don’t let your mom have so much power over your choices and decisions. You can do it by yourself, it is your life not hers.

Don't get into a relationship just because your heart is lonely. Not every couple you see smooching and cuddling in public are happy and will last. Stay being content with being on your own.
Oh, and that best friend of yours doesn't really like you and she will not care to stay in contact with you. But don't worry, she's getting involved with an MLM.

Lean into what you love. Even though it seems so far-fetched, even though you doubt you can achieve the things you want most, don't give up and don't give in to societal pressure. Let's face it: when has doing what society says you should do ever worked out for you? Your life is a life of constant obstacles, but that's actually what's really cool about you. You face those obstacles every time, and you never stop finding reasons to laugh. Also, you are actually really smart. I know you don't think you are right now, but you'll find out later on that dyscalculia is a thing and quite frankly you are gifted in areas that matter more to you anyway. Hang in there.

That all that bad moments are just moments, not the sum of your life. I know you think being popular and liked is sooooo important, but you need to like you first. You are going to make mistakes, a couple of whoopers. Forgive yourself.

Dont focus so much on school. Yes, you need to pass the classes. But nobody will ever reward you for having good grades or studying. Go out, meet people, have friends, do sports, date boys, try new things. Dont listen to your parents telling you to only focus on school.

I'm not saying this in relation to this whole minimalist thing. It really is about what you need. If it all went to hell in a handbasket, what do you need to start all over again? That's what you make sure you have. Wants are treats you give yourself. You don't "need" all of those wants to be fulfilled all at once. It's actually pretty cool to save for something until you can afford it. You worked to get this, so it's pretty special. And no interest to pay on it. Cheaper in the long run. Major purchases, do your research. By the best quality you can. It will save money later. Buy basic. A fridge/freezer is to keep food cold. You don't "need" a computer in the door. Least amount of things to go wrong. Finally, take the time to take REALLY good care of all of it.

I'm still pretty young, but I would tell my younger self not to take things for granted and enjoy them well they last. Also, something I still struggle with is not overwhelming myself. I don't have to be perfect.

Where to start? 1) You're clinically depressed, you're not a bad person. 2) Study more, you don't know how important it is. 3) Go to college in town, it's cheaper and you don't know what you want to be anyway. Oh, BTW, here's a camera. 4) When you can invest, remember Apple and Microsoft are good. Also, when you hear about something called Facebook and Google, pick up some shares.
