A bit late perhaps but Dear past me for Razer, Roa, Lio, Teva, Stiv, Nahi...
Dear Past Me,
Don’t work for the Pubs. Stay home. Tell Mom and Dad you don’t want to be Sith, but you want to help. Don’t work for the Pubs! And nod and smile, agree to everything she says, yeah?

Dear Past Me,
Kindly tell anyone interested in you up until you meet a certain Rattataki to fuck off. You ain’ got time to have your heart played with. You’re worth more than just a ride and your skills… You’re Roastien Moraes! Fucking prove it!
-Roa

Dear Past Me,
I know ya hate pops righ’ now… I know yer hurtin’ an’ things look down. I know yer scared an’ ya jus’ wanna run to the ends o’ the galaxy… Bu’ jus’ take a breath, calm the fuck down, an’ listen…
Things are gonna get better. Things are gonna look up for ya. Yer gonna meet plenty o’ people an’ yer gonna love… Yer gonna love hard an’ fast with some… Yer gonna love many an’ tha’s fine…
Jus’… do us both a favor an’ steer clear o’ the bounty hunter named Vic… Tall, handsome, rugged lookin’… Tats on his face an’ a voice so deep an’ gruff it’ll send chills up yer spine… Do not under any circumstance… Do not have sex with him. Do not open up yerself to him or get attached. Walk away… Use the Force an’ trick him… walk away… an’ never think o’ him again…
It only ends in the worst heartache ya can imagine an’ takes ya close to a year to get o’er it… Ya… almost don’t…
When they’re born… look up Lorenzo Jones an’ Konur Sinclair… They are a constant an’ needed in yer life… Keep them safe, yeah? Love them.
Ya get kids… don’ ask how ya get them… but ya get kids… Love them hard… Don’ argue with them ‘bout their choices… support ‘em. Be the bes’ damn dad ya can be… Ya become an uncle… Love those kids too… Keep them safe… support ‘em!
Jus’… be yerself. Try not to make the same mistakes I did… An’ know that the people ya love… the people ya really love… would do anythin’ to keep you safe an’ alive, yeah?

Dear Past Me,
Yer gonna walk into a cantina and see a small man arguing with someone else… Jus’ walk away. Please, for the love of everything holy… walk… away… It isn’t worth the ache and the constant worry you get during that period of your life. It isn’t worth the things that happen and the reality of it all crashing down on you later. Walk away.
If you ever stumble upon someone named Ziminder… walk away. Don’ glance back, don’ say a word… walk away. Yer heart will thank ya for it.
When you meet Sanguinas and Malavai… jus’… be yourself. You’ll feel somethin’… a feelin’ o’ belongin’… Go with it. Give yourself to it. Love it. They will take yer pain away. They will respect you. They will become yer everythin’… an’ trus’ me when I say I’d never change it for all o’ everythin’ in the galaxy given to me…
-Teva

Dear Past Me,
Tell your father not to go… Tell him to stay away from the battleground… Beg him to take you somewhere nice… Training can wait a few weeks.
Do not join the Jedi… Run from them. They do not care about you, they show it constantly. And whatever you do.. Do not even glance at the Mirialan named Naya. She will rip your heart out over and over. It will take you years to come to terms with it and even then… You are broken beyond compare.
I am not one to give advice. I am not one who excels at this type of thing. Just do not fall in love with Naya. It always becomes your fault. It always becomes you have upset her… or you are not good enough for her… It becomes she was not ready… And then you are a slave and doing the bidding of another Master, dancing to their tune within the pits…
And then heartache once more as she appears to you, pregnant and not from your child as she had promised you all those years ago.
You are not the same after that… an animal within a skin…
Just please… stay away from Naya…
-Stiv

Dear Past Self,
There is not much I would change. I would rather see you right where I am… happy and free… Just… do not keep things from him. Demand he does not keep things from you… Love your children and make sure all of them are taught by you and him… not by another demented man.
Love tightly, hold them gently. Be there when they need it and when they don’t.
That is all I must say…

(and because we talked about it on skype…)
Dear Past Me,
Never listen to an agent. Never look at one. Be cold and cruel to them so they leave you alone. Do not give yourself to a woman of blue… A liar and a cheat… A woman who is using you to put a hurt upon your family… Strike her down. Do not let the witch speak. Do not let her gaze upon you.
She takes everything from you! Your life, your ability to rationalize, your heart… She takes it all and snuffs it out without a care.
So whatever the fuck you do… KILL MALA! She is a spy and a cohort of your father’s enemy! Strike her down, spare her no mercy… torture her!
Seek her out before she can plan with her Master… Strike her down… Strike him down! End them!
And search out a Togruta named Errie... The only one you will ever want in your life, trust me.
