For myself and my past self:

1. Zero tolerance for dad beating mom. Stand up for your mom, and get your dad the fuck out.
2. Stay scrappy. Don’t get suckered by the pursuit of money.
3. Don’t let others brain-wash you or tell you that what you are doing is illegitimate or bad.
4. Be more free-spirited, and be more brash, and be less ‘politically correct’. Speak your mind boldly.
5. Instead of having started a Facebook fan page, make an email newsletter instead.
6. Don’t let others take advantage of you. Be far more skeptical of others, their (unconscious and hidden) motives, and their plans to utilize you as a tool to advance themselves.
