21 years ago, I’d want to say to myself

Live. Let live.

Learn. Let learn.

Not every problem is for you to solve. Not everybody’s problems are for you to solve.

Dad is right. Not always.

People are nice. Not always. And it’s ok.

Yet, when people tell you they love you, believe them.

Kiss. Experiment. You don’t know what you are missing.

Loosen up. Lighten up. You are right, you are reasonably funny many a time. But, the idealist that you are, right now, is not always fun to be around. Unfortunately, it makes you the other kind of funny too. The kind that people laugh ‘at’. You can fix it.

Don’t beat yourself up at every possible opportunity. Oops, I’m not setting a very good example am I?
