Three things.

  1. Brush your damn teeth.
  2. Spend time with your elderly family members while you still can.
  3. Compound interest.

Last year, when my daughter moved to college, I wrote her a letter containing my best advice.

Brush your damn teeth was at the top.

And I extend this advice to ANYONE ELSE who needs it.

A fucked tooth is one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced, and the way you fix it, is to pull it. And it NEVER comes back. Repeat this a few times and you’re embarrassed to smile in front of anyone. It really messes with your self worth, and there’s no coming back.

Please, brush your damn teeth, and don’t start smoking.

Please everyone,

My kids think I’m annoying for nagging them about their teeth, but I’m on a mouth fixing journey due to medical tooth loss and it is slow, painful, expensive, and embarrassing. People think I either do drugs or never learned to brush my teeth and I’d hate to see my kids go through that. It’s a secondary reason to my continued masking in public and masking is absolutely the only reason I was able to find the job I have. Not that I am unqualified, but if I had smiled in an interview I never would have been called back.

Do NOT enlist in the military. They will use you, leave you mentally and emotionally fucked, and leave you by the side of the road when they’re done.

You aren’t lazy, you aren’t undisciplined, you just have ADHD. get that shit diagnosed and treated or you’ll lose your full ride scholarship.

A desk job is fine, and you’re good at programming. Don’t be afraid to major in something computer related.

BTC is a scam but buy a lot of it as early as possible, it’ll peak around 65k. God doesn’t exist, the republicans are fucking ghouls

If a girl invites you back for coffee, don’t decline because you don’t like coffee. She is probably the one who would send you your first Valentine’s card a few months.

Delay your mother for just a minute on this specific day in 1997, you will save her life.

Go and see Sasha on this day in 2019. She’s going to die and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
