What would you like to tell the child you once were?

I'd wouldn't say anything, because I ultimately learned a lot through my mistakes - a lot more than I would have if I had taken my future self's word for it.

Essentially what I was getting at.
 
Kick them in the middle - on their weak spot -, and then RUN!!!

also don't eat that kebab on 17 september 2008.. bad idea brofacial..
 
Nothing. I'd probably just watch myself from safe distance not declaring the presence of my more mature self, with a smile on my face. What I was I should have been in order to become what I am today.
 
"Your a very sweet, intelligent, talented, creative, strong little one.
The days ahead will be full of sunshine and rain
Bliss and pain,
Pride and shame,
Have faith in yourself, your intuition because you can see the light
Others may deny it, but that doesn't mean you are aren't right.

But it's ok to be wrong too-
how else did everyone else before you learn the right lyrics to the song?
It's ok to fall, to stumble
It's not ok to let yourself crumble

Stay away from the boys who try to pry you from your books
Unless of course, they are more than just your good looks.
Speaking of looks, you are not going to look like the other girls
But don't let that get you down
Compliment them graciously, and flash that warm smile of yours
They may try to hate on you, for your brains, beauty, talent and wit
But think, "Someday, they'll be working for me", and go on with it.
You are going to grow up into a beautiful woman,
but others will be more dazzled by the radiance you emit from within

Listen to mom and dad, for they are wise,
but don't forget to listen to yourself;
Parents can be wrong too,
but that fact, they will try to disguise.

Speak out and up!
Literally,
them mole people underground can'e even hear you,
so how do you expect those are aren't quite underground to?

Be true to yourself...who you are
Others can try to define you
but you have a lifetime to define yourself,
and ultimately, it's your opnion that matters
Others may not be able to understand your mind, your feelings,
but someday you fill find many that will.
Keep these people close.

Lastly, remember that Life is going to be full of surprises; be surprised, amazed, in awe, hopeless, sad, angry, confused. Feel these to the core of yourself, for the intense art of feeling is your forte...Just don't let your feelings rum your entire existence, you don't want to neglect that cerebral complex of yours!

Take care, good luck, have a great journey, and see you in 9 years!

With Love,

Lauren

I don't know if there's anything I could tell her that she'd listen too...
in fact she'd be more likely to do the opposite...stubborn kid..LOL
 
"I am you from the future!
I have brought with me a warning.
Read it carefully.

<random gibberish>
"

Something tells me my 12-year-old self would have spent months trying to decode the message... :) The presence of a strange, unexplainable phenomenon would have brought immense amount of pleasure and satisfaction to my life.

...I'm not doing this right, am I?

"Ohai~ thar. Yea, I was just like around the corner and I was thinking about telling you that you were right about that everything turns out alright in the end and it's quite easy to live without regrets. Yea, I just wanted to spoil that for you, lol. Trolled!"

I don't really have regrets to be honest, but wow, I would never give up this opportunity to troll myself.
 
"She doesn't matter as much as you think she does and it's not worth it."

and

"Get some fucking pants that fit!"
 
Nothing. I really wouldn't tell him anything because I know he wouldn't listen to anyone, not even his older self.

Yeah, that's how stubborn I was/am.
 
Yeah, and one other thing i would tell my younger myself:

"Grow the hell up! Stop worrying so much . . . Boohoohoo, life is not perfect . . . so learn to deal with it and not whine so much."



NOTE: This is also a message to my adult self . . . process of learning, n' all that.

Nothing. If I did my life would be like the Butterfly Effect movie.
 
"Hey little buddy looking good". Then proceed to buy him an action figure (shredder from teenage mutant ninja turtles because he ALWAYS wanted one and NEVER got him. He was stuck with bee bop even though he really really wanted a shredder). And also buy him a slushie.
