What would you tell younger self about Life?
« on: April 12, 2024, 05:58:05 PM »
In hindsight?

Being part of the crowd is important whilst we are growing up: my 1 thing would be to inform myself that friends made in school may not last into the future, so it really doesn't matter what others might think of what I wear, makeup/not, smoking/not, my choice of music.  But it did matter then  :-\

As well as I am not responsible for the reactions of others when I make comments etc..

Doesn't really matter what I'd have said, I'd have ignored it anyway  ;D.

I would definitely tell my younger self not to give a monkey's about what people might be saying about me.
I was always guilty of bothering what others thought of me. When I think of the time lost fretting about this person or that person and their opinions - God, if I could go back in time, I would give myself a good talking to!
Let me tell you, I couldn't care less now  ;D

Same as Songbird really for me.
I was never forward with speaking my mind, I put myself in the other persons shoes, and if I thought what I was about to say would upset them, or offend them, I’d keep quite. I couldn’t live with myself if I ever upset someone.
I too, would give myself a bloody good talking too, the amount of times I’ve been upset by someone, and they didn’t care!
I suppose we are what we are. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Age and hindsight is a wonderful thing!
