If I could back in time, I wouldn't talk to myself directly. I would ask some of my close friends to drop specific pieces of advice randomly.

For example, my past self would be like "Man it makes me so uncomfortable how my friends try so hard to be my friend. They act like they know me."

Randomly my friend could say, "I wish you wouldn't feel uncomfortable, because it's hurts when you say things like that" and I would say nothing.

Or maybe they could say, "I don't know you completely, but I have fun when I'm with you. What about you?" And I would say nothing.

But I would think, "wait don't have know absolutely everything about my friend to be friends? I just have to enjoy their presence enough to keep wanting to hang out. I like hanging out with them, so maybe we're more of friends than I thought."

Then, I would go out to make a lot of friends. Probably idk

How exciting, we might get see some fireworks tonight. The little alien guy has been faring pretty well. It's been making itself comfortable in the guest bedroom and computer. I taught it how to use it so it could entertain itself.

The alien? Wants skincare... okay. I guess we got comfortable real quick. I wonder why it wants skincare. Who you tryna impress buddy 👀

"Look at this little alien. It's stuck in what seems to be its home cave. I'm scared it might get hurt if it stays there any longer. I'm going to talk to it and see if there's anything I can do. "

I push aside the overgrowth of small foliage and insects on the opening. Despite it being in the middle of a dry rocky desert, there's a surprising amount of greenery surrounding the cave.

Upon closer inspection, the alien is not a baby. It's mature, yet seems to be alone. The mother must've thought upon reaching maturity, it should be able to thrive on its own.

Scrawny, frail, cold, and slightly ugly, clearly not. I don't know much about aliens, but I can just leave this fella here.

I give the alien my puffer jacket in hopes of warming it up. [To be continued...]
