If you had to write down one piece of advice or tip to pass down to future generations, what would it be?

 

[Draugvan]

It seeks light! Stay in the envelope of dark, for the sake of hope.

 

[Dipper]

"Do not do the thing."



I have no serious advice hahahaa

 

[junebug]

Listen to your parents, kids. >:c

 

[Sidhe]

Someone being possessive of you is not 'cute'. Don't put up with that shit.

 

[GrunkleLogic]

There's nothing wrong with a little self awareness, but try not to judge yourself too harshly.

Just because someone is older than you doesn't mean they are wiser, only experience grants that.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are the shit and if you so choose to hate them, you'll be shunned for life.

Your best friends aren't always going to stay your best friends, especially when you're young. Some people stick with you, though--you just need to keep your eyes and heart open, and ask yourself who's supporting you in the lows and highs, who's telling you you're actually worth something, who's willing to tell you when you're wrong but also willing to help you improve, who makes you laugh and smile...in simpler terms, who do you know cares about you, as a person, and resonates with you, and helps you be a better person?

You will mess up and make mistakes. But your mistakes aren't what define you. It's what you learn from them.

Don't write off people until you've gotten the chance to get to know them a bit.

 

[Sinnafain]

Be calm, don't let the little stuff get to you.

You're better off not taking advice from parents, especially dating or career advice, when they aren't successes in those areas. At best, they serve as a fine example of what not to do.

Also, if they're bad for you, you need to leave. Especially when they try to make it impossible to leave. Do it.

 

[Pahn]

It's easy to forget what happiness is. Sadness and desperation are often found in the big things, and we forget to see the trees in the forest. There may be a valley filled with trees born of sadness, but happiness comes from the little things. If all you see are the big patches of negativity, it becomes harder to find the positive trees. Cherish and appreciate every single tree of happiness in your forest, and soon you'll find that it's easier to walk through the darker valleys.

 

[GrunkleLogic]

You will one way or another face loss in your life. You cannot avoid it, and you cannot fight it. Trying to will only serve to extend the pain of it.

My best advice is to let yourself mourn, get angry, sad, do what you need to do to get through it. That gut wrenching feeling of aloneness is painful, but remember that it's okay to feel like that. Reach out to anyone, whether it's online on a roleplay forum, or outside.

Loss comes in many forms; relationship, death, health, many things. None of these are easy, and don't let people tell you when to move on.

Only you can do that.

 

[Draugvan]

All those moments you regret - you are the only person who remembers them. To everyone else it was just something that didn't gel and it is since lost to the sands of time. They have other things to worry about than what you did ten years ago. Its better that you let yourself forget your mistakes because you will be happier for it.

 

[Nemopedia]

Dare to be selfish.

What I mean to say is that while it is good to be there and be willing to be there for others it is also good to take a step back and look at yourself and choose yourself. We can't always be heroes if we can't help ourselves.

 

[Greenie]

Use your words. Communicate, whether with your spouse, siblings, parents, friends or whoever. Don't expect people to read your mind.

 

[Quetzal]

Life asks a question of each of us and each person is only responsible for their own answer.

 

[Diana]

Change your underwear everyday because you never know when you'll end up in the emergency room and you don't want to have stinky undies. >:[

 

[Turtle of Doom]

Don't stress about things you can't control.

 

[Ardent]

Have the presence of mind to walk away from a fight.

Retaliating may feel good in the heat of the moment, but it will only come with consequences and make you feel worse about yourself in the long run.

Be the bigger man/woman and remember that you respect yourself enough not to stoop down to someone else's level.

 

[PoetLore]

Don't be ruled by the past. It will rob you of future happiness and present joy.

The only person you can control is yourself, so be the best version of you that is possible in any given circumstance and live with a clean conscience.

Be generous enough to allow other people the benefit of having a bad day. You aren't walking in their shoes and someday you may need that same grace on your bad day.
