Honestly fuck no. The last 6 years have been a hell of a lot of an emotional roller coaster ride for me. I just barely started puberty at 16 and on top of that, I still looked like a 12 year old. I had trouble dating and I was very skinny. The quality of friends and family relationships have also been improved compared to when we were all just teenagers.

I'm 23 now and I feel like life becoming more stable for me. I also feel at my prime in terms of physical attractiveness and strength. I have some decisions I wished I would've done different, but other than that, I don't really regret the things I've done. I'm feeling much more fulfilled now than I did being a depressed 18 year old, despite the girls and friends I had at the time.

I'm 20yo with $230k in LINK(family nor friends know about this). I go to uni to study IT(for free) and live with my mother and sister in an apartment in Eastern Europe. 6ft and fit if that matters. Currently I'm just waiting for LINK to hit $25 so I could cash out $50k to live comfily independently for the next 2 years(at which point LINK would be at minimum $100). Thinking of going to Portugal or Spain to surf next Summer.

Nah. If I woke up with the same family/house/school that I had at the time with the same knowledge I have today then I'd take it. If I were a hobo I probably wouldn't get into uni, which means I probably wouldn't get a decent job, which means I'd be worse off than if I hadn't taken the deal.

work on your social skills, even though it’s rough dealing with people sometimes. religion and politics are bullshit, listen to your inner voice. most people are cowards and liars, so if you find you are not "fitting in" dont get down on yourself, the ones who fit in are the crazy ones. society wants you to be unhappy, because unhappy people are better workers/consumers, so unless you are capable of extreme levels of self-delusion the only way for you to be happy is to rebel constantly against society, with the goal to someday take control of it. you can do that without being all emo, rebel with a smile. life is a brawl, go in swinging and knowing youre gonna get hit too. if you lose think about why it happened so you can be better next time. most people give up so if you dont give up you will already be ahead of 99% of the rest. there’s nothing wrong with the person you were born to be. as long as you aren’t hurting other people you have nothing to be ashamed of. in fact the people trying to make you ashamed of being yourself are losers, coping with the fact that they’re too afraid to be THEMselves.

if there’s one thing above all else to remember, it’s that nobody ever really grows up. think of the world as a giant kindergarten class and everything will make sense.
