You meet your thirteen-year-old self, but you can only tell them three words. What do you say and why?
My answer:
“Wait for Misha!” I think Misha is one of the best things that have happened to me in my life and I’d like to give my thirteen-year-old self something to look forward to in life. I was really depressed at that time (well when wasn’t i? 😀 ) I guess not in a suicidal way or anything like that anymore but I just felt really fed up with life and hated existing, and perhaps if I knew at that point that I’m gonna meet Misha in a couple years it would give me a little bit of motivation to keep going. If I told her “Wait for Misha” she still obviously wouldn’t know who that Misha is actually supposed to be and why wait for him, but I guess that would only make things feel more exciting.
How about you? 🙂
I’d tell my young self, “Grieve your losses.” because I never gave myself time to let go of the things I loved to do when epilepsy came into my life. This caused me to often push myself to the point of forgetting to take care of myself while chasing a futile fantasy.

Getting the balance right between doing what you love and accepting your limitations can definitely be hard.

“Count your blessings” or “Grass isn’t greener” and I would have not played the drama queen and suffered years of consequences therefrom.

Would be so cool if we could prevent bad life decisions like that by communicating with our past or future selves. 🙂
