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

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.

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

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 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.

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

Don’t listen, learn what real love feels like.

Still waiting to find out what that is or what it's supposed to feel like.

It feels like being safe, and wrapped in a cocoon of warmth. That you never have to regret.

[–] bloopernova@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

It feels like joy, strength, and peace all at once.

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

Dont open that site

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

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No you are not.

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

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

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.

soviet-playful

also for god sakes YOU ARE NDN

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