We all have those moments where we think about our lives in hindsight. We ask ourselves, "Where did I go wrong?" A decision we made, an opportunity we missed, a person we allowed to come into or leave our lives. "If you could go back in time and tell change anything/tell your younger self anything, what would it be?" is question we find ourselves asking often in these moments. Well I finally had a chance to sit down and think on it, to ask myself where the key turning points were. I managed to narrow it down to a few. There are probably more, but I feel like these particular points are the most relevant, the most impactful.
That being said...
-In your junior year of high school, Christina Rosado will actually have the hots for you. She will throw out all the signals and you’ll be totally clueless. Keep your eyes open and enjoy that shit for as long as it lasts.
-You’ll do everything in your power to keep your parents from habitually criticizing you, including going to a school you’ll wind up hating; it will be a hopeless endeavor. The only person worth pleasing is the one you see in the mirror.
-Take your time picking a school. Many of your relatives have never been to university and don’t what they’re talking about. As time goes on you will develop a healthy dislike for their intellectual ineptitude and eventually come to hate them for it.
-Ignore women when they start crying. It’s just a form of manipulation.
-Avoid living in the south at all costs. The stupidity alone can kill you.
-Losing your mom and dad will be a slow and ugly process and there isn’t a damn thing that’s going to prepare you for it.
-Terrorism, republicans, bible thumpers, and social justice warriors, along with the countless other shortcomings of your species, just might bring you to tears.
-Bruce Lee was, is and always will be the man. His words will give you immeasurable strength.
