Meeting Your Younger Self

Post Reply New Topic

What would you do if you met your younger self?

i'd probably tell myself to run and keep f****n running.

I'd tell myself to get a doctorate in theoretical physics, solve the mysteries of the universe, then retire to a Buddhist monastery in Japan.

I would tell him to not be such an
independent, bullheaded, do it all
yourself rebel.

Join in with the phony a*s*o*e*
in this existence.
Cuz they are the meek and get it all.

...uh, no. Not that.
I would tell him to be ready for some
heavy crapstorms and hang true to
what he knows is right.
Because he won't fit in here anyroads.

i would tell him to get off the concerta so he would get put into special education and may actually be close friends with all the people he sits with at lunch anyway!

and to follow his "heart" and go into cooking.

How much time would I get to meet and what age? I would essentially write a guide book detailing everything my younger self would need to know to avoid all of the negativity I have met if I could.

When I think about it, thats the exact advice I give to the young people at work.

Only the ones who remind me of me.

Two of them hitchhiked to Morocco and ones moving to Greece on Saturday.

I do hope they find what they are looking for.

um, tell him to avoid certain accidents he'll get in later requiring casts and stitches.

I'd also tell my younger self that certain young women I would come across were actually romantically interested in me and to be receptive to that interest rather than being so unaware / clueless.

I'd write a "Days of Future Past" storyline for myself. Wait, which younger self, my 10 year old self, 15 y.o., 20 y.o?

I'd probably tell myself the same thing. I wanted to run away from home at an early age.

2011 me:Tell him to watch Lucky Star. [+2 years of being a Lucky Star fan]

1) Don't buy that Apple //e, invest that money in Apple stock and stay with the TRS-80 for a while.

2) You really REALLY don't want to go out on that date with the girl called Susan who you met on Dateline. It might be an idea to avoid the one called Julie as well.

3) When someone suggests that working in Ukraine would be a great idea tell them to go away.

4) Don't buy that little silver Ford (I crashed it three weeks after buying it)

5) You're an aspie, look it up sometime.

I'd tell her:

Regardless of how hard you are going to try, don't expect you are going ever to be normal like others (to be good at sport, have friends like everybody etc.) - you just have a pervasive developmental disorder influencing your whole life so it's not like you have so many UNRELATED problems - all of those stem from just that one source.

Don't go to that first university you started at first - it's not for you.

Your father is an evil dude so stop dreaming that if you meet him, everything is going to be O.K. and you will have a good relation with him.

Go to a gynecologyst earlier than in your early twenties, your menstruations don't need to be so long and profuse, you just need to be put on pill and you won't get an anemia.

Study harder.

I would sent him a link to my autobiography that I posted online: http://www.infilove.com/autobiography.pdf

I'd probably remind myself that jumping off bridges can cause serious damage.

But I don't know whether I'd take any notice of myself anyway.
