I was thinking about that with me today after looking something up from my past when i was 13
and looking back it made me want to tell myself something and i kind of got curious as to if others did the same what would they want to say? 

I'd probably want to beat myself over the head first and say smarten up!
And then explain that i'll meet great people but not every person is trustworthy.
And to do what i feel in my heart, following is great but learning to follow your own feelings is greater.
I wasn't a very bright kid i wish i would have realized it back then.

Mainly these things

- nobody knows what they're doing with their lives; there aren't any set milestones you have to reach or a particular age to reach them in

-that I'm not crazy and it's called social anxiety. The school should have picked up on it and it's their fault not yours.

-that I'm not dumb and there are several types of intelligence not just the one the school believes in.

-that LGBT people exist as well as asexuals and you're not a freak.

I'm bad with jokes i'm not sure i understand ^.^

Young Miharu, read Napoleon Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich".  And then read it again.  And then read it again.  And never stop reading it for so long as you live.

Above all else, always remember, every adversity contains the seed of an equivalent benefit.  Never stop searching for the potential benefit to you in every adversity that you will encounter in life.  The bigger the adversity, the greater the potential benefit hidden in it.  Never stop searching for the benefits hidden in every adversity and your life will absolutely unfold like the most beautiful blossom ever seen in Heaven or Earth.

And Miharu, I LOVE YOU!!!

I'd tell my younger self that this (being trans) is real, it's not going to go away, and to transition sooner rather than later.

It's half joke/half answer to your question. I cut the dickens out of myself on glass when I was young. Twelve stitches across the palm of my hand.

Hugs, Devlyn

In regards to advice about how to live, listen to your emotions, stop striving to accomplish an impossible amount of work everyday, stop taking responsibility for everything negative that happens, and learn to do things just because they make you happy.

Also, elementary school me, stop 9/11 from happening, which will kill almost 3,000 people, and start a chain reaction that by 2016 will empower white nationalism, lead to a feeble response to around 400,000 people being killed in Syria, and place the world order on precarious ground. Granted, the chain reaction will also cause the removal of some the world's worst dictators and terrorists, so I'll need to get back to you about what to do next.

Also, short real estate in 2006 and long Apple asap.

I doubt the younger me would listen to the older me. I thought I knew it all, and had problems with anyone telling me any advice.

Can I just send KathyLauren to talk to my younger self? I'm worried about time / space paradoxes and she's got it down pat!!  Oh, and Kathy, please tell my younger self to buy Microsoft when it goes public.

- Don't date that person.

- Just cut your hair already if you hate it so much.

- Don't buy half the things you own. You'll either throw them out when you get bored, or they'll take up space until you have to move and THEN they'll get thrown out.

- You don't have to sleep with people if you don't like it. It's okay to think sex is stupid.

- Save yourself thousands of dollars and go to community college first and then transfer out, otherwise you will be in debt until you're 50.

- Also, don't major in that.

- Take better care of yourself.

Well let's see I would probably tell myself to tell my mom I like wearing girls clothes, not to jump off the picnic tables and grab the tree branch so I don't break my arm, to look where I'm riding my bike so I don't hit a parked car and splat on the hood, not to get caught cheating in school and get paddled, get more girls clothes, kick my two oldest brothers in the nuts and don't sleep with my brothers wife...

I'd tell my eight year old self... 

"pst, pst... you know that garbage in your head and that hideous sense of broken that you tell no one about?  Its *not* normal; no one else has to put up with that.    Get help.  The shrinks might be morons, but they aren't evil characters from our favorite movies.  You and they will figure it out together eventually, if you give them a chance; otherwise, it will get much, much worse."

lol .. being a Sci-Fi geek gurrl I love the whole space/time paradox thingy. If I sent myself back in time to talk to my 12 year old self, I'm expecting Spock to show up and tell me "Yes, it's logical for you to wear a dress and be a girl." And, buy Apple stock in 1997 when it's $15 a share!

"You love forums, right? There's this forum where there's loads of people like you running around. It might have some useful information... Here's the URL: blahblahblah"

I've used forums for nearly a decade. My brain used to suck up all of the information it came in contact with.

Yes there would stockmarket info and go and see that psychiatrist the doc recommened in 1987
Stay away from that and those people
Get out of that backwater town
Accept you're girlfriends request for you wear her lingerie....you might just like it  ( you know you want to .....mark..)
Stop screwing up my future life ..you little
#@$&*× !!

NOIPE probably nothing LOL I'd let my foolish self make the same mistakes over and over again! :3 Nah I'll think of something better to say at a later time... I gotta take a two hour nap before work..

Nahhh I guess I'll just do it now...
-Don't give up Freestyle Swimming AND Track + Field.
-Don't play Football.
-STAY away from bullies don't get yourself involved with those likes.
-STOP attempting suicide and getting locked up.
-DON'T re-enlist the cake is a lie - They Didn't let you see your wife on her death bed.
-SPEND more time with your wife she didn't have much time with you.
-TALK to your mother about your 'personal bodily' issues.
-And if for some reason try to get along with your brothers - although, ignorant in their ways they will still be with you for the rest of your life.
-DON'T drop out of your 6 year degree. x.x


Meh... That should sum it all up LOL....

- Your family is not normal.
- You aren't a freak.
- It wasn't your fault.
- Being trans isn't going to stop as a result of wishful thinking, prayer, or quackery.
- Transition sooner, not later.

"Marty!  I'm from the future!  You've got to get your parents back together; and also in 2 years, 2 androids will appear, you've got to take them out!  Naw! J/k But, seriously, though...

Avoid a girl. She's dangerous.

Look for another girl; she's important!

Take tonnes of pictures with your grandmother!

I'm SO sorry about your life right now.

Oh! And Amanda, you would look great with big boobs.

Peace out!"

- It would likely be the strangest thing I ever experienced in my young life.

Three months back:  Lower Dosage - the higher one will start transition too fast
Two months ago: Reduce Dosage - DON'T STOP.
One month ago: 1/4 dosage is not enough
(This sound pretty insignificant but to me it's not!  I never want to feel like I did last weekend again!)

Going back 50 years and saying anything wouldn't have helped.   People weren't ready.
Besides, If I transitioned pre-puberty, I wouldn't have had two best kids on the planet (If I say so myself  )

Oh yeah - one more thing - Woman's jeans are SUPER comfortable!
