Well, let me answer the second part first "why you think your past self will listen?" - Because I'm fucking from the future, yo! As dumb as my old self may be, I have watched enough of Back To The Future (multiple repeats) to know that I should always, always listen to my future self (after validating that it's my real future self, of course).

What single advice? Simple - everything is going to be fine. Through the hardships and tough times and burdens and emotional baggages, all those will come to past. Have a little faith, put in the best effort I can at the time, and trust that all will work our fine.

Lame advice? Yes. Because I don't want to fuck up who I am right now. Am I perfect now? Far from it. But I wouldn't know what butterfly effect it's gonna be if I were to change something crucial all those years ago. Those experiences have defined me.

Oh yeah, in hindsight, I guess I will tell my old self one thing - that in the future, I will be given the opportunity to travel back in time to give my younger's younger self a single advice, and the advice will be, don't say too much.

Ok, as I read it back, I can understand how movies around time continum is so hard to make!
