Write more, start a natural hair YouTube channel, begin that private loan pay off strategy sooner, just stay friends with J, cherish your last two years with your best friend, and enjoy the journey (there is so much good in store).

i wouldn't say anything :yeshrug: my life is far from perfect but im sure whatever i tell my past self would not make me more or less happy. Gotta live in the present, not the past nor future.

The girl you're with now is not the one.
The girl after her is fool's gold and isn't the one either.
That cute and sweet military girl you have unfounded reservations about is the one you should really pursue because you'll regret it later.

I'd tell myself that there's thousands if not millions of people who deal with the same depression and anxiety I deal with on the daily. No one really knows since I don't hide from the world. I sitll go out and still do things, but the truth is i'm always anxious and idk why. Sometimes it's connected with a fear of not being as good as i think, fluctuating self-esteem, and sometimes there really is no logical reason beyond it being a new day with new challeneges. it sucks bruh.

I'd tell myself to broaden my social circle because your friends are going to live life with or without you.

I'd tell myself to stop juding everybody
Most importantly I'd tell myself stop messing with ol girl and stay in the gym.

Forget the fact that you've been together for years. You know he's not the person you want forever. It might be hard- people will say you're stupid, and losing an amazing guy. You will regret it for a little while, but you'll never regret the reasons you did it.

Damn, did the flame just die or was he just a great actor? :dwillhuh:

I hate this question...

We had a really good run. I value time, companionship, family. He valued money and status. When we were younger, I thought we would end up somewhere in the middle. He showed signs early on that didn't meet those ideals. I didn't see it and moved forward, but eventually moved on. Now I'm with a man that has the same vision as me. I couldn't be more happy. I know- gag.

I can't fault you for trying to make it work girl. 'Cause truthfully to be young means to be willing to try despite the overwhelming odds; and naturally it doesn't often pay but sometimes it does. :ehh: The good thing is that when you realized how deep the impossibility of you two being together was you chose to do something about it and seek for a better future. It's good to know that you found whom you were looking for :jawalrus:. May happiness continue to be an existing pillar in your current relationship for many years to come brehette.

No gags over here.
