    Be less Christian to be more Christ-Like.

    Being gay is not something you’re stuck with, it’s who you are and you have every right to celebrate it.

    You’re very clever. Don’t use your cleverness to manipulate or do harm.

    You will find love.

    Your parents getting divorced and you should tell your parents to get you diagnosed for autism. Especially since we used to be mute when we were younger and we were also in special ed and rode the short bus.

    Next year will be the hardest year you’ve ever had, don’t let it turn you bitter and cynical, people are cruel because they are struggling, hurt, and broken, and turn that around to others. Try to keep your heart open

    Please don’t let your dad marry that cunt who’ll become your absolute doom in the future. She may seem nice and warm but it’s a fucking facade. She’s a fucking cunt and they will destroy every inch of happiness you have.

    The things she says will confuse and frustrate you. She will pretend to love and care for you. She will abuse you. She will hurt you. She will threaten you and manipulate you. She will try to make you believe it’s your fault. She will make you question whether you really experienced the things that happened to you. She will lean on you. She will expect and even demand things of you that no mother should ask of their child.

    Go and build a network of support. Look at how other kids behave with their families. Yours is not normal or healthy. You are not a checked box on somebody’s list. You are not a trophy to be paraded around. You are not her friend or her therapist. You are not a dog to be whipped into obedience. You are your own person. She will never give you the stability you need or the love you deserve.

    There will be times that you will not feel safe. You will get out. You’ll find friends who will shelter you, couches to sleep on. They see your pain. They understand. It will be okay. It does get better. I love you, and you will learn to love yourself.

    And hey, it’s not all doom and gloom, yeah? The games are so fucking good. Like there’s a lot of trash but there’s story and writing in some of these that’s so profound and it brings you so much joy. I know it’ll be hard to believe at times, but it’s worth sticking around.

    Keep a low profile and you’ll be fine. Just don’t take parenting/relationship advice from your parents.

    Also: School stuff really is freaking easy if you’d put in just a little bit of real effort.

    And skip that girl you meeed when you are 17. She’s trouble.

    1. Do not let Mom ever have brain surgery.
    2. Make grandma see a different doctor. The current one is clueless.
    3. Bust Dad for smoking in secret and force him to stop. You know how it can be done.
    4. Idea of Mom and Dad getting a divorce is a scary one, but it probably would make their and your life a lot better.
    5. Start jogging daily. You’ll never like it, but you need to do it to.
    6. Ask her out when you’re 15. She likes you too.
    7. Start taking guitar and piano lessons. Turns out you have musical talent, you just haven’t realized it yet.
    8. No, I won’t tell you how to get rich. You’d fuck your life up royally with unlimited money.
