If you had to give one piece of advice to someone younger what would it be?

What I have said as advice is "Here are the mistakes I've made in my life, when you get to X point, when you get to Y point in your life, you will look back on this advice" But I'm realizing that my life experiences are going to be different from their life experiences. I just don't want to see them make some of the same mistakes I did. If I could go back in time and tell myself things to not do stupid stuff or to avoid situations, I would totally do it.

The other problem with giving advice is, until they've experienced it for themselves, giving advice doesn't do much.

It's like the great teacher is making mistakes. Like at my job, you do something wrong one time, you learn quickly not to do that again. Just like yesterday I made a mistake at work, because I wasn't doing the process properly. But it happens and it's not a big deal, with my work things can be fixed/replaced.

Stay true to yourself and don’t feel you have to conform for anyone, no matter what they say. Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter won’t mind.

Heal from any childhood traumas, even if it means going for professional therapy because it will catch up with you and affect you in adulthood.

Don't waste time in your life. You have it limited in your life and it never comes back again.
Appreciate your youth.
When you get old you’ll be looking at those pictures, incredulous that you thought you needed to "fix" yourself. 😳

If what you want to do doesn’t hurt you you mentally or physically and doesn’t hurt others physically - go for it.

look carefully at your workplace, it's a political game. Learn to understand it.
Life is precious… treat it fragile.

Save your money and invest it.
Respect your elders, as a reflection of yourself.
