Things I would tell myself 5 years ago:
Just because you’re nice and selfless for other people does not mean they’ll be nice and selfless for you. There is no problem with being nice, kind, and selfless, but it needs to have boundaries.
Do not ever settle. You will be unhappy (or worse traumatized).
You cannot change a man. Your love won’t change him. People decide to change if they want to and on their own accord.
You’re not Jesus. You’re not God. You cannot save everyone.
Take people as they are. If someone shows you who there are, believe them.
Do not date for potential. Do not EVER marry for potential. You’ll potentially get hurt and traumatized.
Have Boundaries, Standards, and Expectations.
Not everyone keeps their promises no matter how much you remind them. If they can’t keep their word, leave them alone.
Never make room for disrespect. Communicate once on it and if they continue to do the same thing (even if it is wrapped in a different bow), leave them alone. They don’t respect you.
Don’t give men the benefit of the doubt. There are too many examples of how unhealthy men are dangerous.

Reading through Cat’s Cradle: TIme’s Crucible and there’s this bit where Ace sees a vision of the Doctor’s family memories - not a particular moment per say, closer to a kind of timeless musical diorama:
A tall woman slowly made her way across the grey plain. A grey shawl covered her head in the ancient manner. On her arm she carried a jar, a two-handled amphora decorated with figures frozen for eternity in a scampering dance. She reached the long black crack that split the plain across. Gently she inclined the jar. From its lip fell a trickle of dust.
As the endless, timeless flute melody played, she stood pouring the glinting dust into the bottomless crevasse. Just as the Mother Goddess of the Old Time legends had poured Time itself into the void of the empty Universe.
The same tune stirring different memories. The dust of Time glittering like falling mirrors, trickling like sand in an hourglass. To stop it you might more easily stand a Pythia on her head.
Uh...
A tall woman slowly made her way across the grey plain. A grey shawl covered her head in the ancient manner.
..f*ck?
