I wish I had gone straight into college even though I was incredibly depressed and suffering from cptsd.
I could have been depressed and living in a dorm and possibly getting into wacky adventures or meeting somebody to love me rather than being depressed and living in my truck and scooting from minimum wage job to minimum wage job for 7 years before I finally started to get my shit together.
I more wish others had done me at that age.
To start taking care of my self. In all aspects.
The act of starting to love, appreciate and take care of oneself it's a very powerful life changer that can save and avoid you a lot of problems. From physic and mental health, to social relationships and to career/work and much more.
I feel and think life is much more enjoyable if you lookout for yourself and for others.
Abstain from alcohol
Learned more about people's behavior, including my own, through (evolutionary) psychology, philosophy, history and so on.
How and why people (including oneself with this) behave the way they do is the most important thing I have learned in my life, unfortunately pretty late.
Still glad I've done it at all, many people never do.
Bought a house. The house I just purchased costs ~2500 a month. If I had bought it at 18, it would cost have 900 a month.
Even now, at 2500 a month, the rent price in my area for a 2Bed 2Bath shit box will surpass that cost in ~5 years.
