Question

If You could write a letter today to the person you were ____ years ago What would it say and if you could, would you change where you are today??
what would you change if you could? why?

Answer 1

well in Sept. 2004 I was at my heaviest 417lbs......I've lost over 200lbs now. I would tell myself not to listen to people telling me that I would fail at losing the weight and you will look a lot better in the future.
GOOD Question. = )

Answer 2

First of all I'd like to say that I am grateful for all the good, but also all the bad that has happened to me in my life....they've all been great experiences, but I think the bad have shaped my life and who I am now...they have made me stronger and have helped me become a better person.

That said, I would still write to 16 year old me and tell myself to stop trying to grow up so quickly, to enjoy my adolescence and cherish my high school years and "problems" I thought I had because it's a time in our lives that will never come back and a beautiful one if you give it a chance. I would definitely tell myself that my mother and father are the only people in the world that love me unconditionally, truly want the best for me, and know a hell of a lot more than I did.

I wouldn't really change anything except if I could delay getting married and having a child so young (at 18), I would, and I would set college as my priority instead. But on the bright side...still married to the same man, have two beautiful children, and finished my Master's degree a year ago; still have some things that need doing, but I know they will come when I'm ready...so looking at my life now, I think somewhere I must have done something right!

Answer 3

If i were to write a letter to the person i was hating 4 years ago, i would make myself tell people that im sorry for the things that happened and the things i couldnt control but wish i could have. I would change where i am today - i would change how i overreact, how my childhood played out, and how i treated my father. I would change his anger, his hatred, and his disorders. I would change everything just to have him here today, because i wish i could take everything back, and i wish my father could see me graduate, get married, and grow up. But because of my attitude, my actions, and my past, my father is dead and i can't bring him back.

Answer 4

I would have written to myself a letter in which I was conveying to myself to study more and to search for a good job earlier. I wouldn't change where I am now for nothing in the world. Because I think God gave me these last 2 years more than I have ever expected from life, but maybe it was an award for eing a good and patient girl. As you know "good things happen to those who wait".

Answer 5

I would write myself to do the same things and make the same decision s. I just would tell me that everything will be better and everything turns out great I just should wait a little bit. Because the decisions that I made let me find my future husband and gave me my baby. Everything that I did in the past made the person out of me that I am right now.

Answer 6

I would write to myself at 18, six years ago when I thought I knew everything.
Also, I would want to write something comforting to myself as a child.
I don't know if I would or could change anything, but it might help put things in perspective a bit.

Answer 7

June 1982 I would write to myself to climb up on the bunk bed and jump off, to make sure to hurt myself where i needed to go to the hospital so my father wouldnt go to work because if you dont do it you will be forced to grow up so fast that when u look back at your childhood there wont be one to look back at, when you look back at your family the only thing you will remember is sadness and when you look back it will be without a father

thats the only thing i would change

Answer 8

What a GREAT question!!

I'd address it to the 21-year old me, and among the things I'd cover would be... to RUN AWAY from the guy who became my first husband... to not worry so much about what people think of me/her... to NOT procrastinate about returning to college (at 46, I still haven't finished!)... and finally, not to worry about the future because the CURRENT 'me' has it WELL under control. ;)

Answer 9
