Re: Future You Meets Young You.

 @Denv12.

 

The advise I would give myself would be:

Don't take yourself to seriously.

Re: Future You Meets Young You.

Advice to myself is easy; don't have children. I love my kids dearly and I wouldn't want different kids, but I found mothering so very hard that it almost broke me. The responsiblity for a family did break their father and the marriage ended  because we were both so unsuited to parenthood.

 

What would I tell my folks is a little harder, but maybe "She's a good person, cut her some slack. Trust her to make good decisions occasionally and don't come down so hard if she's not the best at something"

 

now there's a can of worms.

@Denv12  The advice I would give myself, is run for the hills.

Re: Future You Meets Young You.

I would chase you and give you Hugs @Maggie
