Not wishing to sound too deep and meaningful (there's too much of that this morning). But the mistakes I made made me what I am now, and I think I'm a good man.
However, I should have said yes to a 3some. Stupid stupid boy. .

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
The only thing I would tell my 18 year old self to change might result in me not having what I have now, so I wouldn't bother. OK, I would have maybe had an easier life, but there are some things that are worth the struggle. |

Don't marry that man!
Well, I'd like to say it would be to tell myself not to get married (I was only 19 on my wedding day!) but then I wouldnt have my two crazy children...although I do often wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't have gone through with it.

Put half of what you earn every month in a savings account.
I was young and in the RAF, spent every penny on booze and ciggies. Could have spent half and had an equally good time and saved enough to nearly pay for my first house outright. Instead I bought when I couldn't really afford to and put us through years of stress because we were on the breadline for most of it. |

I don't think I'd say not to do the things I've done, life has bought me to this point and I'd be a different person without those mistakes.
But I would say to believe in myself more, I'm stronger than I give myself c_edit for x |

I will not change anything , no regrets. The only thing is I didn't know there was anything called swinging, I would not have taken my ex girlfriends seriously if I knew there was a life style like this lol |

I made a lot of mistakes. So many. But I ended up in a great place.
I guess I would say to ask for what say really want. The worst thing that can happen is that people can say no.
But if you don't ask for what you really want, the best thing that can happen is that you don't get what you really want |

"If you could go back in time and give your 18 year old self some advice... what would it be?"
I think the only thing I would tell my 18 year old self is " you showed them"
I joined the army and all my family said I couldn't do it" 22 years later still in. hahaha!!! I would say to my 21 year old self... do not get married.
And to my 31 year old self.. do not take the west route on patrol this morning.... |

Firstly I'd tell myself to finish my A levels and go to uni!
Secondly I'd give myself a few guys names to steer well clear of.
Thirdly I'd tell myself not to sleep around at that age - because in the 80's only guys were allowed to sleep with people outside a relationship - and girls who did were obviously slags!  |

There and to the left a bit |
So so many things that would have significantly changed my life but then I wouldn't be the person I am now if I hadn't made those mistakes.
There is however one thing, that I'll keep to myself, that I'd definitely tell my 18 year old self which would wipe away a lot without actually changing a great deal. |

I would tell myself move on from being bitter about being too short to do the one job I'd dreamed of doing since I was little.
It's not meant to be and just work damn hard at uni instead.
But then I wouldn't be where I am now. So would I really want to change all the life experiences I've had??
Possibly not.

To stop being so hung up on what other people think of you and trying to live up to other people's expectations. To stop obsessing about what others have and what you don't have and make the best and enjoy what you do have. Advice that I still struggle with to this day though. |

You're not going to believe this, but I'm from the future and same sex weddings are completely legal. Also, you're not going to believe me when I tell you who is president of USA, so I'll leave that one as a surprise.
Oh and get that thing sorted now. It's not what you think, not worth worrying about and a hell of a lot cheaper than you think, to get it removed. Trust me, I know, I am you in the future.
Now, how the heck do I get back? I think I left the oven on.  |

So many things to tell myself...
Hope there's not a limit...
Bisexuality exists, and it's okay, it doesn't mean you can't have a family.
Don't be led astray by your peers.
Have confidence in yourself and who you are.
Don't put yourself down.
Do more exercise.
lol
So, so, so many things...

Here's the lottery numbers to play for this particular draw. Don't lose the numbers this time or waste your money on other draws.
I told you this twice before when I went back in time, but every time I return, I have little money and no new memories of winning big time.  |

I'd tell myself to calm down, stop taking myself and life too seriously and I'd tell myself to go talk to whichever girl I might have liked at the time and stop thinking the worst.
The last one will take some convincing but I'd make sure younger me went for it before I time travelled back. |

Perhaps I'm unusual but I detested being a teenager.
The coursing hormones, the pressure to choose a career path in life. The shallow self involved peer group and the trivial dramas. no ty.
I'd ask to be sedated? until my 20th birthday if I woke up 18 again . What a nightmare. |

This is such a great environment, I never thought such an environment could exist, look at all the beautiful ladies , married or single to choose from, I thought once a lady gets married her pussy is gone but look, its back on the market in a much better and matu_ed way.
I would be telling my 18 year old self and myself now, think outside the box and believe you can achieve anything because life is not really as it seems but what you make it and what you believe. |

To go travelling and backpacking before I had children
To explore my sexuality more before settling down
To be more happy with myself and to stop caring what everyone else thinks- it's your life go for it x |

"To do the stuff that makes me happy, even if other people wouldn't understand why." this is what makes us all different in some way i often think back in time and thou some of the times were routes I,d rather not gone on I realise how times have changed and i certainly could,nt go back on them routes again because they would,nt be there to follow but for me its been a mixed bag if i had counted back the years as now when i was 18 it would have been 1935 so different in many ways but depending on your position a lot harder life and with a war comeing up i looked at my parents and how they dealth with those times and their parents before them dealth with theirs and todays generations even mine bring up their kids differently for different circumstances obviously like my next door neibours... its just that i don,t know anything different but the way i was brought up going away annually on holiday or holidays because we could mainly in the uk so yes i was from a close family if not for the internet i doubt i would talk in such expressive terms perhaps at that time in my life where I,m happy to do so more and more thou I,m a long long way from book makeing material...  |

A couple of things.
1 That I didn't have to go for the grotty biker look just to ride motorbike
2 Should have taken up the offer to swap a pillion ride on my bike for having a go on a horse, as offe_ed to me by a young horsey type. I think I have since developed an irrational fear of getting on one.. |

I would tell myself to save! I have had so much money over the years but just wasted it (especially when I went though a gambling stage about 20 years ago)  |

Study hard and get a degree in anything then you can run away!
Don't settle for just anyone - you're better than that - wait for the right one - being on your own is actually quite fun!
No one is better than you!
