For me specifically.

You are a girl. Not you were supposed to be a girl but you are a girl, right now.
Young me would have accused future me of being a demon from hell.

Your gums are not supposed to bleed when you brush your teeth. FLOSS
I never did. I'm lucky it wasn't until my early 40s that I got full-blown gingivitis.

You like to write nonsense stuff that nobody else wants to read? Keep writing it. Write for yourself.
I do not have an audience for which to write. And you don't get an audience worth having by pandering; you get the audience you want by writing your truth.

You know the computers that you like? You can actually make an entire career out of keeping them safe!
The fact that your friend's uncle could give you a double-sided floppy with 80 games on it that neither of you paid for wasn't a clue that maybe these things were poorly secured by default?

It's not your fault. You are not lazy. You are not particularly insubordinate. You are not a horrible human being who is going to hell.
I'm on the spectrum and have ADHD and I had an abusive alcoholic step-dad so that was not fun.

Finally,
Weird Al will still be making music when you are 50 years old and it will still be good, better even.
