Have you ever thought of the idea to talk to your younger-self? Well, in real it's not possible but there's no harm in imaginary thoughts. What if we could really do that then what would we say to our younger-self? This is a hard question and it's going to be different for everyone, because it's gonna vary from people to people. All of us has different journey, some are happy, some are unhappy and that is life. The ones who has learned to cope with life it's nothing for them.
But in few people life's they often feel regret about their past decisions, as they suffer in the present time. That's not the same for all, some accepted their mistakes, moved on and improved themselves and some stay stuck in one place. I am not one of these people, I really have no regrets in life because I believe whatever has happened in my journey it was necessary to build myself. The person I'm today is because of the mistakes I have made in the past or the right decisions that I have taken.
I really don't want to change anything in my life because I have a lovely wife and two daughters, I am totally satisfied with my life. I don't want to make any major changes in the past which would change my future. I don't wanna lose my family because of it. But still if I think about the situation of being able to talk to my younger+self, then I would ask my younger version to spend more time with my dad because my dad passed away very early. Maybe I would have tried to prevent his death and that's the only thing I desire in my life, if miracle happens I would want to save my dad.
A few other things I would tell myself to trust the process whatever I try to do I have to do it with full of my heart. I will hug myself and let him know that he's the best and the flaws he made is the person who he is. I don't want myself to change at all, I would let him stay the way he is maybe I will share the fun stories of the digital time because back in time smart phones were not available so my younger self would be really happy to know about such amazing gadgets.
I would ask younger-self to take care of mother more because she's gonna spend her whole life alone with her children. I used to annoy my mother a lot when I was a kid, so I really regret doing that. She was doing everything all by herself so I should have behaved, but I was a kid so I didn't know what I was doing was really wrong. That's all I would want to say to myself, I really don't wish to change anything else. Even if it would trigger the future I would let my younger self know whom and what time to get married haha, maybe then I can stop my future from changing.
