  if i wrote a letter to me.... i wont probably take it too seriously!....LOL....

• rightwingwizard said on Aug 23, 2007....

  I wouldn't.  In part for the same reason mentioned by both silver and sweet, but mostly because I wouldn't want to change anything in my past.  To do so would change the 'who I am' today and I rather like who I am at the moment.  Flawed as I might be, this is who I am.

  Hi Destiny......If I wrote a letter to myself 10 years ago, it would pretty much say exactly what yours did.  Don't want to be a copy cat (lol), but pretty much every point you touched on, mirrors what I would say.   The only problem I have is that if I acted on that letter, for some of the things, I wouldn't have my two wonderful little girls.  I guess all we have is to learn from our mistakes and try not to repeat them.  {{hugs}}  Minnie

  I love this des :)

  To a younger me ~ Dont worry you wont be among the tallest girls in the class, always at the end of the line and all. Drink a lot of water, you are about to get pimples. Dont freak, they will go away too. Grow your hair, its your best feature and you will look amazing ! Dont pray to god to vanish your breasts, its normal, in fact soon you will wish you had more. And oh! Please stop being under the impression you can change the world. Sorry but its not happening.

  Mom loves you a lot. You are a fighter, great but dont fight your own ones. Wearing your heart on your sleeve is not a good idea. Also everything your friend says is not right. And if that guy thinks you are too young for him, its ok.... not the end of the world. His best friend likes you. Cheer up. Most importantly, its good to be the believer. But learn to be cautious. Dont be so hard on yourself. You cant do everything. Accept that. The outside world is not as perfect and beautiful as it is in your little head..... Fairytales are just that. Welcome to the real world baby :)

• leadoffkarma said on Aug 23, 2007....

  I have to agree with rightwingwizard. I wouldn't because my past has made me the 24 year old that I am now. It has made me the proud mom of a beautiful 3 year old. It has made me the strong person that I am now. I like me and thats awesome.
   
  I can't ask for more.

  Dear King Self,
  Tis I, thy loyal subject 10 years of late.
  Coming in live to tell all about ye fate.
  
  ... Now hear my freak'n wisdom, for it is great.
  
  
  Work hard. Play hard. And make $$$ Millions $$$.
  
  Forget about other people's opinions. They know nothing.
  
  Be nicer to your girlfriend. She has very delicate feelings. Also more moody and less predictable than you'd think. When she freaks out for no reason whatsoever, just relax and know it's normal for girls to do this. Don't do what you did and run the hell away.
  Oh and the stock market's gonna crash so get out.

  I'm with rww. As tempting as it would be to change some of the things in my past, that's what made me who I am today. I don't think I would change it. To change even one small thing, could alter the entire course of your life. I'll just let things go and learn from them :-)

• travelr712 said on Aug 23, 2007....

  i agree with et etc. :-) the only way i would know what to change is if i were to have gained all the experience, pick the stuff i didn't like, and do something else. there would still be stuff i didn't like, it would just be different stuff, so i'd have to go back and pick all that stuff and change it, and round the circle goes.
   
  besides all that, if it wasn't for dom, there would be no sweetie and nay. what would your life be without them? and without dom, they would not have life. sure, you may have had children with another man, but they wouldn't be sweetie and nay. and besides, if you had children with a man you could love and stay with, then you wouldn't have me.
   
  as hard as it may be sometimes, the best (and only) thing to do is to try and make your life better today than it was yesterday.

• destinydiva said on Aug 23, 2007....

  hi everyone,

• lfbno7 said on Aug 23, 2007....

  interesting concept, writing a letter to yourself ten years ago.  but in my case, the letter would be more important if it was written longer ago than that.
  
  i think it would do the most good if it was written when i was going to college, back in the late 60s.  it would go something like this.
  
  first of all, stay single.  you're way too young to get married.  experience freedom.  don't jump from your parents' home to your wife's home.  just stay single.
  
  second, get yourself into a great career that pays tons of money, because it is much more fun to live out your life without financial worries than to struggle to pay your bills.  you have the potential and now is the time to use it.  go for the gold.
  

• destinydiva said on Aug 23, 2007....

  mr7~ hello :-) thanks for stopping by.... interesting letter....  so when you were going to college, if you had read the letter would you take yourself seriously?? would you follow it through??
  Destiny xx
  

• lfbno7 said on Aug 23, 2007....

  i think so, yeah.  i always look at your posts.  when i see your name i go look.

• Expendable said on Aug 23, 2007....

  I came across this 80's scifi book in the library called Millennium by John Varley, about time travelers who rescue people off of doomed flights so they can repopulate the human race with undamaged genetic material on a new world, free of pollution. The people who found the damaged time machine also found a large pile of message cylinders, each with a name and a date - only they never mention them in the movie.

  On top of the pile was a message for the discoverer, which explained what he'd discovered and how the message cylinders worked.

  Louise Baltimore, the lead character, had three message capsules. Two with normal dates and times, but the date on the third one said only "On the last day".

  In the book, her message capsule's been scaring people for generations.

  dear me 10 years ago:
   
  you should laugh more.  stop taking life so seriously!

• wombat said on Aug 23, 2007....

  I like the suggestions about acceptance, and holding on to the times when your little ones are little.  If I wrote a letter to my "ten year ago self"  I would tell myself that it would turn out ok if I just hang on.  The man is trying to get to me!  I would add as a P.S.---"Wombie, why don't you write?"

• Mamie said on Aug 23, 2007....

  dear Mamie ten years ago,
  Stop worrying. The only thing that is real is love. Everything else is an illusion used to get you to have some experience. Chill out, soul sister, it's all gonna be just fine!!

• travelr712 said on Aug 23, 2007....

  expendable - chris kristofferson, right? really good movie! ever seen 'grand tour' with jeff daniels? another really cool time travel flick.

• nursecutie said on Aug 23, 2007....

  ten years ago?? Hmmmm........well I would tell myself not to lose my virginity w/ the guy who I did it with. Because he would turn around and cheat on me w/ another girl three weeks later...........

  It would be nice to not have that memory!!! LOL

• the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 23, 2007....

  Hmm...I would say something like this (and my fourteen-year-old self would have clung to it like a lifeline):
  
  "The next few years are going to be ugly. Hang in there, because after that it will get SO much better. The pain will fade, and you will find joy. Follow your heart even when everyone thinks you're wrong or crazy - you'll be happier for having done so, and being at peace with yourself is much better than pleasing others in the long run."

• Suddenrain said on Aug 23, 2007....

  Hmmmm Des, you always make me think. I would tell myself you're gonna come across a few people in your life that will change your perspective on some things. You will struggle with this but everything that happened to you in your past will bring you to great accomplishments that will shine in your future. Follow your instincts. They are almost always right.

• southerngirl said on Aug 23, 2007....

  If i wrote a letter to myself 10 years ago, i would proably say, lord, give me the wisdom, the life line to surive another 10 years, even if my present situation remain the same, i am still blessed.
