What would you say if you could speak to your younger self

[ArcticWolf]

My advice to my teenage self:

"Don't read that one book you did when you were 14. Just put it down and don't touch it. If you read it, it will set in motion a chain of events that will totally wreck you for years and you will spend the next decade recovering from what happened.

Oh and btw. I hope this works, I'm not exactly sure that it started with the book, but it's my best guess. I've been thinking about this a lot, very much, and I do think that it started with the book.

Yeah I know. I've seen the movies, I know that time travelers are supposed to know what they are talking about, but really, this one is just a guess. I'm not at all certain that the book started it, really. Maybe it was going to happen anyway, or maybe it was caused by something else.

To be honest, I'm not sure, I just think it's worth a try. Ahum, sorry, I now realize that I might be messing you up by making you scared of the life-wrecking event that is going to happen to you, and that might not be fixed by not reading the book. Hmm. Well, nevermind, let's hope this works, I hope it won't happen this time. Good luck. Gotta go back to the future. Bye."
