"Take care of your teeth, it's going to bite you in the behind later if you don't. You are an impossible person and that's a good thing, you just don't know it yet. Don't doubt yourself, usually that is going to be other people's doubt you're dealing with when the time comes. When the time comes, you'll know, but it's still gonna hurt, just so you know. Oh, and by the way - don't forget to wind your watch."

Man I'm telling you, I'd tell my little old self the same thing... No losers.. good gosh did I waste years.. find I'm content by myself when before I thought it to be impossible..
To teenage self: Don't ever have a boyfriend. Or if you do, don't choose losers.
To middle-aged self: Hang in there. It'll be worth it in the end.

That's not a coffee problem, that's a self control problem. It turns out that both coffee and chocolate have great health benefits. But as with most things those benefits can be wiped out if abused. Moderation in all things actually does seem to be good godly advice.

Thats right, it's His fruit that He produces and we bear.....and He isn't through with any of us yet. "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things." Gal. 5:22-23

this is why even when the enemy tries to get me to feel weak and focus on my weaknesses I am not worried because it was never my own strength that mattered and any weaknesses I may have now I believe he will turn around. It is actually for this reason that I am not afraid to take a leap of faith i don't question if I have enough strength or faith or if my weaknesses will make it impossible because wherever I may be lacking he isn't

More advice I'd give my teenage self (supposing I'd listen to it, which isn't likely):
1. You're weird. Accept it. You aren't like other people and never will be. The sooner you come to terms with it, the better off you'll be. You spent a lot of time allowing people get under your skin that didn't deserve to be there.
2. Pay no mind to the bullies. Not a single one of them...not a single one ever amounts to anything. In fact, your nemesis ends up spending 15 years of his life in the Wyoming State Penitentiary for shaking his own baby to death. A person like that isn't anything to get worked up over.
3. Just stay away from women. I know you're conflicted and confused about your sexuality. You are NOT gay. You simply don't have the feelings or urges other people do. You aren't missing out on anything. I know you won't listen to this particular piece of advice, but I will testify that you'll be nothing but disappointed each and every encounter.
4. Never sell your Mustang. Ever. Yeah, it's kind of a POS right now, but keep it. You're sitting on a goldmine and you don't yet realize it. If you sell it, you'll always regret it. Especially once you find out how rare that particular option-set on that particular year is.
