Here’s my rantomendation:

Don’t hit, mame or kill anybody ever. That includes when driving.

When driving pay attention to the road and only to the road. Ignore work or home or school problems. Don’t zone out.

Listen to your parents but don’t listen to the parts that limit you. Be gay if you are or straight or smart or whatever, be you. But listen to the good advice.

Fuck a lot

Eat healthy

Pay attention in school and learn from others. Be observant and follow in other people’s steps long enough to learn to blaze your own path.

Don’t get a school loan or max out your credit cards.

Work thru school in a light non interrupting way. Don’t get an 8hr job, just something part time.

Get that diploma and go find a job where they pay you for what you know. Work on something you like to do. Work to live, not live to work. But to get here, don’t skip steps…sweep the floor before you shoot for CEO.

Mourn your losses, everyone dies. Be happy with yours while you can. Family is everything and there’s not much more than your own personal desires beyond family. But if you don’t have kids by chance or by choice, still be happy. There’s plenty of people who choose not to have kids or be married or be in a relationship. Have bobbies. There’s a lot of you time towards the end part of your life. So Hobbies are good. Watching people is a hobby.

Be at peace. Don’t hate and help others not hate. Racism is the worse. So if you can help a racist person to accept others then that’s good.

Take care of your teeth. Many loves will come and go in your 20s and maybe even 30s, but if its a life partner you want try focusing on yourself and they’ll appear out of thin air. Friends are important but not as important as inner peace. If a job offer 401k start investing as much as possible as soon as possible. Everyone is going through their own crazy messed up life so be kind. Puff, puff pass and enjoy your 20s as much as possible while not losing sight of your goals. Goals are EVERYTHING, set the achieve them and set them again. Heartbreak and death are integral parts of being human. It’s important to sit with and process the pain as long as YOU see fit. Death will come for someone you love someday, don’t let drugs or alcohol be your medicine

Sit down pee when you’re visiting a friend’s house. Double points if you do the same at your own house.

Take care of your body is the only one you have, use sunscreen.

Spend time with your parents and people you love they are not going to be around forever, do things they like.

You have time, don’t rush into things. Don’t think you are 25 you should have a family by now, life is not a race each person reach goals differently and not all have the same goals. Search what makes you happy and do it.

Worry only for what you control, if you can control it you can fix it, resolve it so look for solutions but don’t worry about what is out of your control, you won’t be able to fix it you have to accept some things are they are and learn to life with them being that way.

DONT DO IT!!

THERE’S NO TURNING BACK

Who you are now, isn’t likely who you’ll be in 6 years. You’ll change a lot over the next few years as you become an adult. Legally, becoming an adult is the difference of a day. But actually maturing into an adult takes time and effort. Yes effort, you’ll meet plenty of adults who cling to their highschool self.

I don’t know if alcohol is still placed on a pedestal like it was in my teens, but alcohol isn’t that great. It’s an expensive poison humans can sorta metabolize. It can taste good, but moderation is key. The point isn’t to get drunk. As an adult who can drink anytime I please, is generally would rather just have water.

Now is a great time to get into a fitness routine.

Do you know what the genetic difference is between a human alive today and one who lived 100,000 years ago? Almost none.

The real difference is shared knowledge. Every generation stands on the shoulders of those before it. You hold in your hands more understanding than any person in history could have imagined.

You will always be ignorant, not as a flaw, but as a truth of being human. Accepting that is where real learning begins.

Stay curious. Curiosity keeps you open to the world. It grows empathy, invites wonder, and reminds you that every person you meet carries a piece of the story you haven’t heard yet.

And when you share what you’ve learned, don’t speak as though you hold the final word. Speak as someone who has explored, reflected, and arrived at their understanding with care.

Learning is a lifelong conversation, one that connects you to every curious mind that ever lived. So keep asking, keep listening, keep growing. The future needs you.

Go to the dentist, ask them how to take care of your teeth for the next 80 years, and do it.

If that means cutting down on soda, or acidic espressos, or candy do it.

If that means buying an expensive electric toothbrush with better toothpaste do it.

Lift wieghts and or do some other physical activity. Its good to have two hobbies; a mental one and a physical one. The muscle you build now will be with you for the rest of your life, and its mucb easier to do it now than when you are middle aged like me.

Dont focus too hard on girls, just live your life and enjoy the experiences and relationships you build with all people; everything else will follow.

Travel, with a focus on the physically taxing things that are harder to do when you are older.

Invest what money you can, compound interest is real and it is the path to wealth (eventually).

Start building credit if you’re in the US, but don’t treat your credit card like free money.

Don’t let yourself get addicted to alcohol (or any other drug).

Spend a decade commuting by bike if you can (rain or shine).

Get radicalized by the terrorists (people who just wanna have a nice safe society free of bigotry and hate).

Don’t send dickpics. You never know when they’ll show up on a leak.

Don’t drink a lot. I’ve forgotten a lot of good times due to excessive drinking, and it’s taken a toll on my mental health. I’m 35 now and trying to make some changes, but I’ve wasted about 15 years of my life just partying and being hungover. Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars spent.

On a positive note: find something to volunteer your time doing. Even an hour or two a week is great. It’s a great way to meet people, and there is so much good work being done by organizations who always need extra help.

Good luck to you dude, I know you have a bright future ahead of you!

It’s okay to be scared, but do it anyway!

Break stuff and figure things out, take chances and have fun. You’ve got time. You’ll figure it out.
