What is one thing you wish you could tell your younger self?

What is one thing you wish you could tell your younger self? I’ll go first…. “Don’t take life so seriously!”

 

Never compromise. Never.

That’s a good one and for me it’s there’s always something positive to the day even when it seems the worst like a tasty meal.

 

I really like that hun, way to keep it positive!

 

Bahahahaha….. ha! Yes - nice!!

 

Thank you took me a while to have that mind frame great post thanks for sharing

 

How young? Because I’ve always had this fantasy of being able to go back to when I was six years old in 1987 and then spend my entire childhood warning people about the September 11 attack. I would just love to see the adults observe my obsession with this, and then totally freak out when it actually happens.

Maybe if I could get to myself before high school I would tell myself to apply myself more academically and go to a four-year college right out of high school so that I don’t have to waste my 20s and half my 30s bouncing between unemployment and unemployment

 

Yeah you’re probably right. They’d probably lock you up an asylum if you started spouting that off, but would definitely be worth it if it worked! Your second answer is very practical though!!

 

Just do the things! You only live once, Also don't let anyone else's definition of you affect how you view yourself

 

Love, love, love this one!!! Wise words!

 

That she's to pretty to waste time chasing stupid boys! There are men out there who will value her time because they see her/my true worth!

 

I’d tell myself to stop being such an edgelord and embrace the love around you, stop to notice the little things and that people do actually love/appreciate you for you

 

Stop being so hard on yourself babygirl you know you got this , life is to short to be so worried all the time .

 

That’s absolutely beautiful!! XOXO

 

Word sister!!!

 

Absofuckinglutely honey - you know it!

 

Save money, be kind to u self, don’t lose u virginity with that guy.

 

Oof, just one thing? Alright… I’d tell my younger self:

“You’re not broken just because the world doesn’t know how to hold you yet.”

I spent so many years thinking I had to work twice as hard to be lovable, or prove I was ‘easy to love’ by making myself easier to handle. Nope. You don’t owe anyone a smaller version of you just to be accepted. The people worth keeping will never make you feel like a burden for needing softness, slowness, or space.

That's right. We take you as you are.
Never compromise. Never.

 

I’d tell myself not to put my life on hold till I find a girlfriend. Something I really regret. I’d tell myself that my depression could be defeated, and to power through.

But knowing me, you couldn’t tell me anything.

 

“Pay close attention to people’s actions and measure them against their words. The actions will never lie.”

 

I'd tell my younger self to stand up for himself more often and stop being a pushover.

 

Oof I feel ya on this one, especially being a people pleaser.

 

I feel that…. Actions truly do speak louder than words!

 

Yep, you gotta be true to yourself and always be the best version of you that you can be, not a lesser version of someone else.

 

Yea, yes, and yes to allll the above!

 

Facts. You really do need to take care of yourself first. Just like your airline attendant always tells you “put your mask on before you help others”! People’s perseverance can be pretty amazing. You got this!!

 

aww thank you! @CassieClover this was such a great post! You are so insightful <3

 

That's everything that happened when I was little wasnt my fault and I didn't deserve it. None of us did

 

Don’t give it up!

 

Don't rush life! When you fast pass life, life will push you back where you're actually meant to be

 

That’s a great perspective to have!!

 

Never give up - never surrender!!
