One thing I'd like to tell my seven year old self. "Well, I guess the good news for you is that girls become more appealing and less smelly as you get older. I know it's hard to believe now, but in a few years you will even want to spend some time with them. And one day in the not-too-distant future, you're actually gonna kiss one of them. Freaky I know, but panic not my young me... it's pretty good. Almost as good as wrestling". Keep up the great writing Aaron. Great post Aaron!

My favorite one: don't do something just because you can. That is such a common characteristic of younger people....and really is a good point. Nice work! Todd love this post Aaron– great work.

Don't rely so much on others, they won't be there when you really need them. Just learn to survive by yourself... and the earlier the better. 2. Don't lose so much time waiting for people. 3. Love 'ourselves' better. 4. Don't do anything you don't want to, just because the others expect you to! Or you'll end up working in something you don't love and wondering how to twist that at a stage when changing it looks so difficult. 5. Talk more, much more with the person who will (probably) be the father of your child. 6. Believe in 'ourselves' and things will be easier. And so many etceteras. I do believe that my life could have been better and different if I had known things back then. Right now I know I can change it all, but it's harder. Having today's knowledge back at my 6 or 7 years would have helped me much and I'm sure I'd have arrived at my present 37s in much better shape (physical and emotional).
