So the wizard grants you the ability to time travel but you will be there only long enough to deliver one piece of advice, what will it be??

Edit: If you give yourself more than one piece of advice the wizard will not hesitate and subject you to multiple lifetimes of fluffing.

None tbh. Don't want any butterfly effect stuff messing with my currently ok life. Barring that, however:

1. Rent an apartment with a kitchen and start cooking your own shit.
2. Stop buying so many damn earphones.
3. Start working out seriously.

You could look up lottery numbers around the time you turn 25 and tell him those.

Winning the lottery at 18, I might get myself killed.

Fix your posture

This would be a big one for me. Didn't realize how bad my posture was until my back started hurting all the time in my late 20s.

Also probably help steer my career a little better. Give myself a list of technologies to learn about and inform my younger self of how the IT industry works.

1 piece of advice I would give myself for when I was 12 years old is this.

Leave love for later, don't pursue it so young and focus on your dreams that you're building instead of trying to have a perfect love with a wife.
