Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time to give yourself one piece of advice when you turned 21, what would it be?

Do what your doctor suggests you do, it isn't bad advice.

As trite as this may sound, "Believe in yourself." There are lots of people in the world that will try to convince you otherwise, but you need to know your own mind and know your own strengths. Know them and own them. After all, you are stronger than you think that you are.

You too? Perhaps man/husband stupidity at 19 is the new black.

Can it be 18? And "don't be a dumbass - take your dad's offer to go to Stanford and shut the fuck up about not feeling like going to college just yet." I can't even imagine where I'd be if I'd listened to my dad then.

Good question!

In answer, I would not give myself any advice. I am who I am today, because of who I was and what I did yesterday. If I went back and gave myself advice, then it would change who and what I have become.

With that said..

I would go back and give the man who killed my sister advice.

"Do not drink and drive, you selfish piece of shit. You are about to kill someone who has two children and a family who loves and needs her. Call a fuckin' cab."

That is the one piece of advice I would give out. And might I add, that it is still the most excellent advice anyone drinking and thinkin' about driving could ever get.

Heh...I have options:

Back to age 15: "It's not your kid"
Age 19: "You're not THAT desperate!"
Age 21: "Nobody likes her, you're holding on for nothing, Women do actually like you."

IMP!!!!

Dang. I was having a pretty good time when I was 21, it didn't start going to shit until later... I dunno. Tell myself to take more risks, probably. Though if I had done things differently, I would have had an entirely different life right now.

Just one piece of advice: Go ahead and indulge in those secret desires, don't wait another 15- 20 tears!

Absolutely - resentment is like drinking poison while hoping someone else dies.

It's a hard lesson to learn and I don't know of anyone who hasn't had to learn the hard way in this respect.
