If you could look back on yourself five years ago, what advice would you give yourself? What advice do you think your future five-years-time self would wish to give you now?
hmmmm 5 yrs back...well done for doing what had to be done, keep having corage, and dont be afraid to put yourself first for a change. 5 yrs in the future...the same i guess....i know it was baby-steps, but you got there in the end. corage, determination and stamina go a long way!
Hmm, this is a good one Lithium. For the past me five years ago, I'd probably tell myself to not be afraid and be careful who I trust. For future me, I'd reiterate the above and add to always be myself and stop hiding what I think for fear of being rejected.
Easy, I would tell past me to not mess around and get my degree- not go out partying and being a tool and I would tell present me to find some better friends.
I'd tell myself I'm worth being loved, respected and encouraged and must not settle for less. The moment life feels stale it's time to move and fast. I'd tell myself not to give away my independence because that would be a ridiculous thing to to, and what I want out of life is important and shouldn't be compromised for people who give nothing back. I think my future five year self person thing (etheric omg?) would tell me to keep strong and that I'm on the right track, just keep going. And to remember to always avoid a crab-magpie conflict. They always turn nasty
...not join the Hip Forums. Ok, really, I'd tell myself not to go anywhere near the Internet. The Internet has improved my life but it has also caused strife. ...on balance, it's been a complete waste of my time and energy.
I would tell myself to trust life and go with the flow. Everything happens for a reason even if you can't see it at the time
