What would your younger self think of your current self?

[charolastra00]

We all have dreams as a kid and perceptions of what we'll be when we're grown up. Now, most of us are "grown up" (or getting there!)... how are you different from what you envisioned for yourself?


5 year old me would be shocked that I hadn't finished- or even started- the next great American novel.

8 year old me would be angry that I'm not planning on being a pediatric neurosurgeon.

10 year old me would be confused as to why ever I wasn't studying psychology with plans on being the child psychiatrist to the children of the stars (yes.. this really was my plan).

12 year old me would be shocked that I no longer have ambitions of being a custody lawyer (and would probably try to talk me out of whatever else I plan on doing).

14 year old me never would have expected me to quit marching band in exchange for taking 4 courses of French and Spanish in a year.

16 year old me would be angry that I'm not going to Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, or UPenn.

18 year old me would be shocked at my lovelife.

[Tenacious P]

This is too depressing for me.

[Devil King]

My younger version would be wowed by the way I look.

;)

[Jun]

They'd ask why I am working.

[Teenychicka]

Child me would think "wtf, why aren't you a prima ballerina? You lazy bum."

Teenage me would think "wow, your love life sucks balls. Maybe you should suck more balls and it'll improve."

Young adult me would think "what am I doing with my life now? ......oh whatever, hello rum!"

[Jarrid]

I am not quite sure considering I cannot think for my younger self.

[Fabs]

I think the younger me would have a smile on his face, prolonging that smile is what it's all about.

[Liam McDohl]

All of me would be pleased, because I am still playing videogames.

[Phakiel]

My younger self would probably would just wonder why I dont have a hot steady girlfriend. I am doing well for what I planned and hoped since I was a kid.

[Cyrus the virus]

My younger self would laugh the shit out of himself because of me, I think.

[Polygon]

The child in me would be pleased with the fact that my imagination is still as healthy as ever.

My adolescent self would be pleased with my video game collection, as well as the home theater and computer setup.

The teenager in me would like my cars but would wonder why I am single.

[twerp]

Younger self: "Where the hell did all that chest hair come from?"

Current self: "It's not the chest you should be worried about."

[Poofy]

Adolescent Poofy: Why aren't you a Veterinarian?

Teenage Poofy: I always thought of being an alcoholic, and lo and behold....

[Indigo]

He would say "wish I thought of that earlier."

[Dick Fitzwell]

He would be happy that he WILL go to Sweden. right now my current self is crossing my fingers for my future self in being able to go to school in Sweden.

[Tenacious P]

Adolescent Poofy: Why aren't you a Veterinarian?

Teenage Poofy: I always thought of being an alcoholic, and lo and behold....
You used to talk shit about alcohol. "I'd rather just smoke pot" you'd say. I'm glad you've come around.

You should smoke weed though, if you haven't yet.

[Void]

5 year old me would never have guessed I'd have moved so many times.

8 year old me would be too distracted by Super Nintendo to even realize what Microsoft is, and would certainly react disappointedly to my fanboyism for the X-Box 360.

10 year old me would call me a traitor for not living in New Brunswick.

12 year old me would call me a traitor for not living in Ontario.

14 year old me would be disappointed that I'm not obsessed with hip-hop anymore.

16 year old me would have a heart attack when he realized I get my hair cut short now.

18 year old me would would encourage me to move back to Ottawa.

20 year old me would encourage me to get drunk.
