What Do You Wish You Knew Before?

If you could go back in time and meet yourself 10, 20, or even 30 years ago, what would you tell yourself? What do you know now that you wish you knew then?

Write down the following 10 things kiddo:
1. When you have a grey cat your mom calls princess, one night you'll want to grab a glass of water while you normally never do. Drink water from the upstairs tap. Otherwise you end up with brain damage.
2. Have your teeth examined, by a dental surgeon, you have brittle teeth. Have them pulled and get dentures. It'll prevent a world of pain.
3. You will get gout, it hurts like a bitch. Get tested when you're 27 and get allopurinol prescribed.
4. You have insulin resistance, all the dietitians and diets are going to do shit all and they won't find out until your late 20s.
5. You're fat and you'll stay fat, but don't worry, for some reason both men and women still take a liking to you and I'm not talking a few here and there. It's nuts. And I'm talking your type. Just be yourself and forget about shame and fear. You'll do more than fine.
6. You're pansexual, it's good to research that now. Otherwise you won't find out until you're close to your 30s. Your mom, friends and others fully support/accept you. Your dad has trouble accepting this, but isn't angry.
7. Keep an eye on bitcoin online, it's an online digital currency, you'll find out about it early on, start mining it and buy cheap. You'll end up rich. I didn't and it was a stupid choice.
8. A "friend" of yours will be dating a girl when you're about 18 years old, he doesn't treat her well. Get her out of that relationship, but don't date her. It's 7 years wasted because it doesn't last and caused a lot of grief.
9. If you did all of the above, keep the following in mind. Your best friend and you will still be best friends many years later, he'll ask you to join a group of friends for online gaming.
The gay guy from England who is in love with you, date him, this time it might last and he's a great guy and cute.
If so, the gay guy from America who'd love to date you, get him out of there, his life sucks for at least a few years when you first meet him.
If not, still get the gay guy out of America and date him, he's great and adorable.
10. Last but not least, the following events are good to be prepared for.
Your brother will disappear, you don't know how or exactly when because contact becomes low when he start dating a girl on the other side of the country. You have no clue when it happens but it's in 2017.
Your sister will cut most contact, don't try to find a reason why, she won't tell you.
Your mother will get cancer, don't worry, she makes a full recovery.
Your mom and dad won't stay together, but you see him every week. It's better this way.

Man…isn’t that the truth!

That women can be as equally if not more shitty as men. Had an ex who claimed her ex was a bad guy that treated her like shit. Turned out she had cheated on him and told lies about him, then she did the same with me and made false allegations when I left her.

[Flatmanlewis]

Man. I’ve seen that played out time and time again.

False allegations are more common than is admitted by most.
