Date other people your four years of high school because the ass hat you think you love is just that, an asshat. Don't bother waiting for your mom to stop making really stupid decisions in men and pay attention to your words of advice you gave her, because really, people don't change. Stop saying yes and start saying no because once you get tired of cow towing it's harder to just pull away. And love your little babies and protect their eyes, hearts and heads from all you and your husband dysfunction. Oh, and when you want that new pair of shoes…fuckin get them.

Mine would look remarkably like this. Minus (so far) the gay part.

I'd also put a paragraph in there along the lines of 'When you break up with him, don't go back to him. Somebody else will love you, and do a hell of a lot better at it to boot.'

Dear me, age 16: you know that girl you keep spending every afternoon after school with? The one dating all the popular boys, going to all the great parties? Guess what; it's YOU she really wants to spend time with. Weird, huh? Only… you never told her you were sad to see her go.

I totally got on my computer five minutes before I have to go to school because I finally thought of a response to this.

Dear younger self: Don't bother having an eating disorder. You'll be miserable, it will affect you forever, and guess what? Nobody in your family will notice or give a flying fuck. Further more, they will deny it after the fact, despite your continually strained relationship with food. It's an unanswered cry for help, and you'll learn down the road that YOU have to help YOURSELF. It'll be alright, eventually you'll meet an awesome guy who will believe, will accept your issues, and will help you work through them. Tough it out. – Me

My hair was actually black in that picture. It was a trick of the lighting.

I think we all can still learn from that. xoxo

Just. Yes.

Oh, I'll never go back. And really, I'm not sorry about the abuse because it's made me a better, kinder person. Does that sound weird?

You're never gonna change him, girl. I should have put that shit in there. *smacks head*
