Graduate early and then use my future knowledge to make a shit ton of money as early as I can, Then retire and finally relax for once in my two lives

Do I keep my language skills?

Then have a normal childhood with normal social interactions in Canada instead of the awkward immigrant who can barely speak. Also potentially get diagnosed with autism as a kid because I kind of the language barrier masked some of the symptoms.

Fix my education path. No compromises. No getting gaslighted.

If they won’t officially give me my classes, I’ll sit in the right ones until they either give them to me or kick me out.

Edit: Also, try and stop the Brook Brothers Riots.

I would actually follow through with that suicide i was thinking of back in the day. I think about it today also, but I used to as well.

Life ain’t worth the squeeze, and im not adding an additional 30 years to my shift on earth.

Probably be catatonic. This kind of stress, self-doubt and loathing require those extra 32 years of building resilience. Transplant it into 8 year old me and he just shuts off I imagine.

I wouldn’t spend so much fucking time on a fucking computer… maybe.

Invest in bitcoin

Transition at 10, as soon as the egg cracks.

Transition earlier.
Try to get away from my abusive parents.
Do certain things to meet my best friends earlier and convince them.
Stand up for myself more.
Spend more time with my grandparents.

I’ve thought about it a lot

Take a water bottle on an airplane, buy stock in apple, and send the money to the PFLP

1. Be intellectually ahead of everyone my age
2. Become an outcast
3. Become depressed 😭

More optimistically, I would stop complaining about my bedtime, take better care of my teeth, and join a sports program. Try not to be a perfectionist and put more time toward proper hobbies instead of wasting away on the internet. I’d also treasure my time with my parents a lot more than I did back when I was 8. They’re still around for me, but man do I wish I had more time to spend with them.

I would teach other 8 year olds how to butcher a hog.

Scream.

Holy heck, I’d be highly aware of being somewhere on the autism/add spectrum. That would change everything even if I just knew that.

An example: I actually mined bitcoin when I was a kid, on 2x HD 6850s.

And… lost it, in the depths of some old partition with files everywhere :/. I didn’t take any of that seriously.

I’d have kept a bunch of friends too.

I used to think about this a lot and, despite having largely resolved my relevant trauma now, I think my answer is still the same.

I would try to convince my parents that I’m the Antichrist, and if that didn’t work, I’d just stab my dad
