Advice you would give your younger self

[scott.i1045]

I'm sure we all have things we would do differently given a chance.  What advice (relationship / sexual / other) would you give your younger self?

Given the chance to talk to 21yr old Scott, I would say:


1.  Quit chasing girls.  Get a decent job, hit the gym, and work on yourself first.
2.  For god's sake, quit drinking.  Nobody likes a drunk.
3.  Sorry to generalize, but single moms are bad news. 

[MintJulie]

1. Don't fall for every boy that shows interest in you.
2. Don't do anything you are told. Think for yourself.

I will be adding more.

I will disagree with you on single mom's though Mr. Scott.  I have know a few and each was a very special human.  I know that is not always the case, but don't group them altogether, they're are some special single moms that got the short end of the stick. 

Love the new topic.  For that I bestow upon you Woo#3

note:  While there may be some sex talk in here, I feel this falls better under the GENERAL category and have moved it.  Which I am fine with sex talk discussion still.

Don't get married to that woman.

Slightly off topic (but only slightly), Moa from BABYMETAL was asked this younger self question by an interviewer, her response was "Warm up."
Interviewer: "Oh, you mean vocal warm ups?"
Moa: "No, warm up my legs and muscles" (during a performance, Moa will dance 60 to 90 minutes at a stretch, depending upon the size of the venue)

I'll tell my younger self to stop eating those fucking candy bars. hehe

"That horrid wretched bitch has lied to you every chance she gets, so why do you believe her when she talks about your father.  Pull your head out of your ass and call him!"

[MintJulie]

School is not that hard.  Put in a little effort and quit thinking your life revolves around what your weekend plans are.  Get that scholarship.
That same with college.  School comes first, your social life second. It's just 4 f'n years. Suck it up and give 100%, bitch!

No one will ever make you happy. Happiness is something you must find within yourself, then you can share it with others.

Wherever you go, there you are.

[MintJulie]

For Eric and all other Lions fans.

Don't get your hopes up that your team will ever be good.  At least until 2023.  But, even then, they will find a way to screw it up.


(note: hopefully I come back and amend that last sentence in early February.)

1. Learn to step back and see the whole picture, because the pain you caused, despite it being forgiven and gotten over will be a bad regret that marks you as semi gullible.

2. Kerri is a hateful, spiteful bitch. Go get GF flowers, admit your mistake and take the punishment.

Backstory:

In high school, before I knocked up my gf/wife, we had broken up for a week. Her mother before the breakup had gotten into a bad car accident that broke her leg, and almost killed her. My gf asked me to be with her when she went to the hospital, but in my typical fashion I had totally forgotten, and decided to spend the afternoon fucking off with my friends. Well of course it would start an argument and fight in which she threw my letterman at me and told me to fuck off. That Wednesday I was hit on by Kerri who was a junior varsity cheerleader, only a grade below me, and I fell for her act of being soo into me. Turned out the only reason she wanted to date me was to piss off my gf who was one of the varsity cheerleaders blocking Kerri's move up to Varsity cheering. But fortunately and for the first time in my hormone enhanced libido time of my adolescence, I walked away from the bedroom at a party I was at with her, kept my pants on and left. Left my friend Jack there too, since he decided to d-bag it up and get blasted out of his mind on liquor, and weed. I did not want to take a drunk home.

Me and Gf made up, and GF got her second school suspension when Kerri started a rumor about me having a small dick. GF worked her way through Kerri's group like The Bride from Kill Bill, and kicked the everloving shit out of Kerri. Funny part of it all, was Kerri was so into looks and fashion, but ballooned her self out, married Jack, and has 3 kids, two from two different men.

3. Not every criticism is a personal attack against you. Your are a dumb meat brick. But use the criticism to better yourself so you can at least not be so much a dumb meat brick.

4. No. I was asked if I would tell my younger self to not fuck gf and knock her up. I will always say this to my dying breath, my wife and kids are the greatest thing to happen to me since my birth.

5. Not everyone who is nice to you has good intentions, and on the other side of the coin, not everyone who is mean to you is out to get you.

It’s funny to talk to my youngest son these days, because he’s memorized all of my advice and speeches. And when I’m talking to him about a problem, he basically regurgitates my own pablum back on me. Which I deserve, but it’s still funny.

“What you need to remember Dad is that none of this is truly important. And everything you think is important right now, you’ll look back on a few years and wonder why you were upset about it. Just live in the present moment. That’s the only one that you have. Don’t let other people knock you off center. Maintain inner tranquility. It will be OK.”

I envy his future children.

Proof that you are a Wise and Wonderful man. He listened. I cant even get my son to call me once in awhile, for more than asking for money and for him to complain about his fiancee.

My father abandoned the family when I was 10 years old, and never told me anything about love or life, other than I am a stupid piece of shit who will never amount to anything.

So I’ve made it a point to try to tell my kids what they need to know to enjoy “success” in the world. I also have made it a point to tell each of them that I love them every day. They used to complain about it, and asked me why I said “I love you” so frequently. I told them, “I never want you to wonder how I feel about you.” I think my father only told me he loved me once, when I dared him to prove he could do it.

So I hope my kids have an easier go of things than I did. I just had to blindly walk in to everything, and then figure out how the hell to correct my mistakes. “A wise man can learn from his own mistakes, but only a genius can learn from the mistakes of others.“ I hope my kids are geniuses.
