So, day two of being a worry wart this is Literally just to help me distract myself from the TV and weather. Just humor me with your answers:) and much Thanks in advance for it!
So...My question is....If you were to meet your self..but from 15(edited because five years is really not that much time) years ago would you like the person you were? does that make sense? I was just anwsering the post about getting teeth fixed again. I realized I probably would get them done again...Only because when I was younger wearing my retainer was a pain in the a$$ and so I never bothered to wear it. I also was not a very gracious person when I was younger. I had an attitude problem for a very long time.
All this being said about myself...I dont think if I were to meet my past me I would like her very much. So...do you like yourself now that you are older or have you stayed pretty much the same as you aged? I think as I have aged compassion has followed. I can still be incredibly self centered about things(which I am trying to change). I have been able to place myself in other people shoes more. I am learning everyone has there own concept of ''Right"...and it is ok that they are not all the same. I am always learning to love those around me ''Better''...my former me would not have been concerned.....
So have you aged for the better? Have you stayed the same person?
Again thank you I am just worried sick....good distraction
15 years ago I was 24, married, no kids, living in San Francisco, working an awesome job, saving tons of $$, living the life. So the question isn't would I like the person I was, the question is HOW DO I GET BACK THERE? No, I'm just kidding, I wouldn't change what I have now for anything. I'm definitely more confident now than I was then, but generally, I'm the same person. I liked who I was then and I like who I am now...generally.
hmm thats a tough one. I would probably like me because I am awesome, but I would be jelous because I was a lot skinnier than today me.
5 years ago yes. Not much has changed in 5 years. But the girl I was 10 years ago? No, I couldn't even be friends with her. No way. I was having a second adolescence. Going to college after divorcing my high school sweetheart. So, I had the sexual appetite of a grown woman, the bitterness of an exwife, and the morals of a college kid. I was a mess. I had a lot fo fun. Wouldn't trade it for the world. But I wouldn't hang out with a woman like that.
I don't know if I have aged better, I wish I could meet me back at 18 and kick my own butt!!!! I would like to tell me that I do grow up. If anything, I would like to spend more time with my mom. Its the "If I knew then what I know now". Interesting question...
5 years ago I was only 19.
I drank ALOT...too much. I had the wrong friends and made alot of wrong choices.
Then I met my husband :)
If I was to meet myself from 5 yrs ago..I would hate me. I think the older I get the better I like myself.
I think if I knew myself five years ago from this date, I'd cut myself a lot of slack and try to just love on that woman. Five years ago on this date, I was pregnant with the baby I miscarried before getting pregnant with my son. I think she was a pretty nice person, but was in the midst of a lot of upheaval (found out I was pregnant in the ER, due to pain from kidney stones) and pretty stressed out. Life is better now. That woman was a little more "fun", because she had more time, but she also got stuck on the small stuff too, because she had more time. Think I'd give her a hug and tell her "You know what? It's going to seriously suck for a while and then it's all going to work itself out."
I was 17, 15years ago and I dont think i would change much except my attitude. I was a 17year old know it all-or so i thought. When in reality I didnt know much about anything. In some ways I am the same, and in other ways i have matured a lot. I think i have aged for the better. Becoming a mom 9 months ago made me think more about others and less about myself.
I would like the me I was 15 years ago. She was just becoming a Mom, learning more responsibility and stability, and already very involved in her community and family. Heck, she wasn't that different from me now. She is less mature than I am, and still has some lessons to learn. But, I bet the me 15 years from now will say that about the now me.
Arrrggghhh, all this hypothetical time travel is giving me a headache and probably seriously messing with the time line continuum.
Nice distraction, thank you.
I'm old enough to have to go back more than 5 years :)
But, yes, I totally get what you are saying. If I were to meet me in my early 20's we wouldn't be friends!!
I have grown up a lot since. I have matured, become more compassionate and understanding, more tolerant, more loving and way less selfish!
if i were to meet myself from 15 years ago... well that's almost too young. i was only 12... so lets try this... from 10 years ago, i was 17, that's better. if i was to meet my 17 year old self, i wouldn't be able to stand her. i would befriend her and try to help her, but it wouldn't work out. i was very depressed and often thought of killing myself. i didn't know how to get out of it then. i have definitely changed for the better. I don't know that I'd change a thing that happened though, because i found the love of my life through all my trials and tribulations. but yeah. i didn't like her very much, and i don't think many people really did...
I would be in my mid 20s and yes, I would have liked myself. I really think that eventhough I have grown up, I am still the same person inside and for the most part, I like who I am.
Ha ha ha! Sarah K lol. I feel exactly the same. Skinny cow, but so nice! She'll go far...
If I met me in my twenties I would think I was a bimbo. I wouldn't dislike me though, I'd just think, "What an idiot." I'm SO much better now.
