5 years ago - i was in my first year of college and i achieved a lot in college and got a job now so yeah i would have done.
 
Doesn't really apply. Not much of a difference job or living space-wise, except I had a roommate at the time.

If it were ten years ago, hells yeah. I'm in an infinitely better place than I was then, in all facets, even with the dents and blemishes.
 
5 years ago? No. I still had hopes and dreams then.
 
I just hope my epitaph doesn't have any epithets in it.
 
Yeah, life is crazy, but I still have fun. That's what counts right?
 
I'm not sure I would have taken it five months ago, but having recently lost 15 pounds and starting to get my ass in shape, I have a greatly improved outlook on my future.
 
Hell yeah. I was very unhappy with life 5 years ago. I had to leave the real estate market when it crashed back in 2008. I was working on my own. I hated it what I did, but it paid the bills. Early 2012 I started to look back into it as it started to show signs of life. I'm finally happy again.
 
Teenage Candi would have punched that guy right in the face. I kind of still feel like punching Fate right in the face sometimes. I've grown a lot... but also, kind of hate myself. So I would have hated myself even more back then. This self, I mean. Pretty much any past incarnation of me would try to beat the shit out of me. And would probably be able to because he'd be too high to feel pain and I fucked up a lot of my body since then.
 
Probably. This was what I thought I wanted 5 years ago. A better question is do I want it now? No!
 
I'd have taken it in a heartbeat if I actually believed the offer. I've got better everything. Better brain chemistry. Better job. Better family life. Better love life. Better health. And I never accidentally crush small lizards by opening and closing my front door.

I think so. It's not so different, and wouldn't have been so hard to predict.
