Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

You were molested.

Hot Diggity Dog

Spare some change

I like blue.

Any of these would be a good start —

Get over him.

Change your major.

Stop wasting time.

Listen up, cunt!

Many of your closest friends now will not last with you.

Experiment more.

Yeah, I'm also gonna have to go with "Suck my dick". If I had any idea how hot I actually was at 19 and just how many men would have actually done it, I'd have saved myself so much heartache and loneliness.

So that, and also "Get therapy, bitch."

Try being normal

Smell my finger.

Let Me Tell You Something About Deb Messing

Don’t see Annie.

Valium. Get on it now! If not it will ruin your life.(not using it did ruin my life. And not one fucking therapist or psychiatrist recommended it to me and I was forced to live my life with miserable anxiety. And I lived my life in poverty depending on government assistance while all my family lived in the upper middle class. And did they give a fuck? Fuck no. I was gay. Life is really lonely and shitty for some of us and I unfortunately never had the courage to kill myself. Did try once and it was horrible. I collapsed on the floor in shock when I started seeing blood. Unfortunately too squeamish. Anyway my family would have enjoyed the wake and repast enormously. Social butterflies all of them. I was spiteful and vindictive and wouldn't give them the satisfaction in any case. They would have loved a big party for any reason especially if they were the focus of attention. What's better than a dead gay son and brother? A nice occasion for a boo hoo.

Do I sound bitter? I fucking am. I didn't need to lead my life in such misery. Paralyzed in fear for all of it.

quit smoking workout

R84 didn’t understand the assignment.

Follows your passion.

Pit the prunes.

Think of England.

Everything is temporary.

Come out now!

You only have 15 minutes and JUST three words? Ain’t nobody got energy for all that drama. I’m staying put.

Use a condom.

Have more sex.

Mind the gap

Go on disability

Don’t sweat it

Change your major

If I had a full 15 minutes to discuss everything important, I would start with "Hear me out..."

You will win.

collect vintage couture

Come out sooner.

The Bucket residence

Exactly the mantra I repeated to those of my uni students who over the decades tended to "hero-worship" me:

You'll be sorry!

Train your hole

Move to Holland

I did change my major, mid-stream, and right after a break-up from a bad BF. Went from business to art.

What kinds of college major switches di people wish they had done?

It's too big.

Don't torture yourself

Open your hole

Study computer science!

"Bad Boys?" -Don't.

Take it easy.

Just do it.

This is a STUPID SETUP. You can speak for 15 minutes. Accordingly, your first three words are not very important.

Learn to settle.

I wasted so much time seeking the new and the fun that I wasted ten years I could have spent with the guy I started out with and ended up with. We first fell in love 25 years ago and I wasted 10 years in the middle being miserable because he couldn’t love me exactly how I wanted.

Invest in Apple.

To a 19-year old R116 I would say these three words:

Please get help.

"Go Ivy League." One of my biggest regrets is staying close to home at a state school and not living up to my potential.

Cocksucking opens doors.

Hi pussyface

My seriously sexually repressed 19 year-old self may very well have protected me from being an early AIDS victim (1978-1979), so I'll say, "It was good that you waited, buddy".

It’ll Get Better.

I’m from 2024

"DO semester abroad."

You aren’t them.

Shaddup, you whore!

Go finger yourself

"I am you."

On the face of it this explains my appearance.

Psyche! I then turn into a beautiful nude woman with half her face rotting off.

Move And Travel.

I’ve lived a full life. I’m still enjoying it. I’ve experienced devastation, joy and a lot of in-between.

But one thing is true- “ Of all words of paper and pen, the saddest are these: It might have been.”

In my heart of hearts I wanted to move to NY City in the late 70s. I wanted see the world beyond.

I didn’t do what I could to make that happen. I wasn’t prevented from it. I just let fear of the unknown hold me back.

There are some exceptions, but when we’re old, it’s not what we did that we regret, it’s what we didn’t do that we regret.
