What would you tell your younger self if you could travel back in time?

[cheekygirl75]

Oooh, we’d have an hours long conversation at least!

 

[Persephone4U]

Wouldn't be just one thing, it would be many .

 

[Bloodandglitter]

To not listen to all the bad things my mother and stepdad said about me to my face. Had I done that, I probably wouldn’t have been so hard on myself.

 

[Ssbbw4u1974]

I wouldn't tell myself to change anything.,
I always lived by the motto:
"Live life with no regrets"

I believe everything I've done, and every person I have met led me to here, being 51, a widow, mother, friend.

 

[Deadbed1968]

Oh, thought of two important things:

YOU HAVE FREAKING ADHD! GET IT TREATED!
Get into good physical condition and stay that way. Your gene pool needs chlorine. You’ll find out later

 

[Bassytian]

Stop trying to fit in with people that don’t care about you. Learn to accept yourself, don’t seek acceptance from anyone else. You are worthy, even if you are the only one who thinks so!

 

[cheekygirl75]

Dive into posting in the Playground on Lit as soon as you join - it’s not really scary and there are some great people. Also, go to the irl meet ups!

I wish we had those, but my town is too small/

 

[LustfulIntentions2]

Don't be afraid to be who you are, and don't be afraid to learn about the people who are different from you. And listen more than you talk.

 

[Polranny]

Turn round before it's too late

 

[Taegul]

Take that job offer from Chippendales. There's no telling what opportunities it may lead to.

Oh, and I might tell myself to stop making shit up. But probably not...

 

[ZfrkS62]

Date those two girls. They'll be a lot of fun and you won't struggle with the shit you've been dealing with lately. Forget about the social stigma you made up. It really doesn't matter.

 

[AtramentousRex]

I'm not sure I would have listened to me. Stop smoking. Make a Serious effort to be healthy an exercise. Never quit martial arts, you love it more than you know. Write more! Risk more.

 

[AmberLGreen]

Live your best life, enjoy it and embrace it.

You will make mistakes and have regrets. Learn from them but do not let them define you.

Don’t let the judgement of those around you have any impact on you. You know who you are, what you want and what you have gone through to get to this point in your life.

Have fun and bend the rules sometimes. As long as the rule bending only impacts you.

 

[Abeona1]

Have more confidence which will hopefully lead to more pleasures of the body.

 

[PersonalFavors]

In 2008 when the Reno/Clinton mortgage fiasco tanks the markets, buy as much 65$ Amazon and 25$ Microsoft as you can.
If you have the time options on the banks recovering was pretty good for a quick buck too.

 

[cocokittysurprise]

Invest in that tiny online bookstore called Amazon; trust me, you won't regret it.

 

[drobert44]

Be open to gay people

 

[Pad_Foot]

Lean forward and lick it!
She’s gonna stop you if you hesitate

 

[newhere2learn]

Wouldn't be just one thing, it would be many .

This. I was so guarded, secretly nervous.

Nowadays I'd tell younger me:

"Just say yes to everything you can, go do it, take control"

 

[LatinaCarmen1980]

Don't be so guarded. Life isn't fair and it's supposed to be that way. I makes the victories and successes that much sweeter. Open your heart and let people in; you can always filter them out later.

 

[Solsurfer]

So many things. But first and foremost…invest in this little fruit company called Apple.

 

[munch2much]

Right now, you can see people having adventures that are beyond anything you could expect.
But you will take charge of your life, create your own breaks, and one day people will ask why you haven’t written a book about the tales you have to tell.

 

[Noor]

Germany will be ok.

 

[~Elizabeth~]

Don’t do that, just ends in heartbreak.
