Best Advice for Someone Younger

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

I’d advise them to (a) do their homework (b) go to class (c) ask for the antidepressants.

My world would be so much different today with these three things done. Maybe I’d have another degree, maybe I’d have a better job, for sure I’d have fewer suicidal events. These are regrets I live with everyday, but as I wrote in a previous post at least I’m content with retail as my field. I just wish I had gone on for a further degree in history so I’d know more/have greater access to resources/be better able to work the resources.

Who knows where my life will lead now. I am where I am and there’s not much that can be done about it. I guess I’ll just work on being content now.
