If you could face your self, 5 years younger, what advice would you give?

Question

why?

Answer 1

Go back to school, stay in school, save money and don't use credit cards as if there paper, tell your man to get his **** together or it's over and mean it, and to stop partying so much. I say this because I went to school but I didn't finish and now I am 4 classes away from a degree and have no idea when I will be able to finish, I should have been more careful with my money and credit and I would have better living arrangements, I love my man but I wish he would have grown up sooner, and as much fun as I had partying, alot of mistakes were made. I can't complain I have been with my fiance since high school ( 13yrs) I have a 6 yr old daughter ( which is my niece that I adopted) and a 1 1/2 yr old baby girl, we live in a apartment in a good area but we can't afford it and I feel like were struggling more that we should have to if we had just made some wiser decisions maybe things would be different. If your young be good to yourself, your future depends on it!

Answer 2

I was in a relationship for 6 yrs. that ended tragically with his death. Now looking back I see that we were never going to be more than what we were. I should have had my eyes open a little bit more then I could have seen this and wouldn't have been so upset all those years waiting for him to come around. Funny how something so terrible opens ones eyes. They say everything happens for a reason. You could have told me that 5 yrs. ago and I wouldn't have believed anyone. Now I realize I shouldn't have waited but never regret the time we spent together just should have remained friends.

Answer 3

Stop and think about what you're doing and how it's going to affect you in the long run. Not for the moment in the long run, because in 5 yrs you'll remember this moment right here. And do you want a bunch of bad memories or 5 years worth of GROWTH, MATURITY, and GOOD MEMORIES?

Answer 4

Get into shape...
I have my Bachelor's degree, but I'd tell myself to do study harder...
Write out a 5 year plan...
Save money, don't spend it on unnecessary indulgences like Starbucks every other day b/c it adds up fast. Just once a week. Always ask yourself, "Do I really need that?" when you go shopping. Don't buy just b/c it's on sale, and always buy quality, well-made stuff that will last...

Answer 5

I would like to tell my younger self that i should trust in my own decisions rather than being swayed to please other people (when it is just my own life that is involved - and compromise rather than give in if there are others involved)

Also, that the phrase "Take care of yourself!" that I used to answer automatically, "I will!" should actually be something i did, not something i just said.

Answer 6

hmmm
in a nutshell i would tell myself to ignore that little devil on my shoulder and gain control of my life again. even now it's a constant struggle and it probably will be everyday for the rest of my life. i wish i could tell myself 5 years ago where and who i am right now. alot of time would have been saved and i would be alot happier.
oh well, no use crying a river. things will eventually fall into place

Answer 7

Don't say yes.

I don't really feel getting into the extreme details. But saying yes to a phone call i got led to me destroying myself. I lost myself for a while and only now am i starting to get my life back on track. It's wierd how just one word sparked a personal revolution.

Answer 8

I would say you have to start trusting now or you will waste years of your life.

Answer 9

"Stop being a bastard and start respecting everyone you stupid little brat! If you dont, i shall threaten to make sure you are sent to Aunt Svedlov!!

Answer 10

Use this cream... It will make your face look younger...
