If you could go back and see yourself when you were younger what would you tell yourself?

I'd go see me at age 11 and tell me to not let carol cut my hair. She was a shitty stylist. No one should have to have a mullet forced on them.

I would tell me to quit hanging out with my cousin. Such a drag....

and to not throw away the notebooks and notebooks of stories.

Maybe not let my mom throw out my J. R. R. Tolkien collection that i rescued from a stinky musty basement. Sure they smelled and had worm holes but damn... they were original printings. I may also have to tell myself that these are special and ought to be cherished.

Be more confident and stop caring what others think. Be happy and put yourself first from time to time.

just go to the public school and the local community college. You'll thank me in 10 years.
