If you could go back in time and meet an 18 year old version of yourself, what would you tell them?
For me, I would say "Don't give up"

Freedom to be an individual is all powerful
I would say, "Your tall and you are a very beautiful girl"
Then I would fade away and or change the future, however I would say get out of your house now!
buy google stock.
Settle down, don't be so angry, learn some patience, not everything is worth fighting over, and eventually you'll find the right friends. Just to start.
I`d say, "Dude, just go ask her out. What have you got to lose? You know that she wants you to. She`s HOT Just do it?"
This haunts me about 3 times a week. 18 years old was 20 years ago. Dam.....
time
If you think your going throuthg a hard time just wait it'll get tuffer so, better get ready.

Make each and every little decision count, with regard to how it will affect you in the future.
I would tell myself to not move out of my parents the first time, and to not screw my boss over.
That alone should be enough to change the other stuff I'm not too proud to say I did.
Then I would have told myself to go ahead and pack up, leave state, and transition like I was planning on doing.
I'd also tell myself to not stop working out, but change to low impact aerobics.
I'd say, start now and enjoy this alternate lifestyle now and for the rest of your life.
There is much advice that I would give myself, but for this forum I would say - Do it! There is nothing wrong with CDing. It is a part of you and it will not leave you. Enjoy it and make the most of it.
I would tell my 18 year old self to go and speak to my GP about gender reassignment. It would haved saved a lifetime of denial and regret.

"I think you've taken that punk girl look a leettle bit too far. It's going to cause you some problems!"
"It is all going to work out okay."

At 18 I was bullet proof and a frickin genius. I knew it all but I wouldn't waste my time listing to me .......... anyone.
But given the chance I'd talk about alcoholism, crossdressing, personal financial management and life choices. How to be comfortable in your own skin.
The problem is you can never find a time machine when you want one...

"Badge? Badge? Ahhh dohn haff too show yoo no steekin badge!!!
Yeah, me too. If I could do that, then by now the memory of pretending to be, and living as, a male would be fading fast.I would tell my 18 year old self to go and speak to my GP about gender reassignment. It would haved saved a lifetime of denial and regret.
I would tell myself to buy that property I told everyone would be worth millions, cause it is a gold mine and I could have bought it for $60,0000 back in 1974. I would also tell myself that crossdressing is not wrong and that it does not mean I am gay. I would say that I would be happier overall if I "come out" and just run with it. I would tell myself not to marry my first wife since she was not true to me. And of course i would look up many of the winning lottery numbers and tell me to play them when they are coming up.
I'd say, "If you're going to pursue this, take control of it right now, and do what you want to do. Stop wrestling with it, accept it, and have fun with it. You probably don't want a sex-change, so get comfortable with it and lighten up. Now go have some fun."
"Oh, and get your own place."
"By the way, the Internet is coming, and you're going to like it."
"The winning lottery ticket numbers for next week are......."
Any money found in the laundry is MINE!
"This is no social crisis....this is me having fun!"

Have as much fun as you can!!
I'd put my hand on his shoulder and look him in the eye and say, "Hang on pal you're in for a heck of a ride!"

I would tell him that it is okay to be Elizabeth and encourage to do whatever it required to get there. If my SO comes along, tell her up front. If she can handle it, great. If not, great. Love yourself for who your really are.
Oh, yes, and invest all he could even if it meant eating a regular diet of Ramen, celery, and cottage cheese.
