For me, it would be that I smoke weed
That I’m a girl now. Would have blown their mind that it was even possible. But then would have been disappointed in me for not having made a video game yet.
As someone who recently came out, I was kinda hoping that this would be here. It is a pretty wild thought
I sat here for 10 minutes trying to think of an answer. I genuinely have nothing. I was pretty depressed as a 10 year old so honestly? Probably that I’m still alive. My life being a mess and hating near everything in it? I always thought that was going to happen.
How amazing computer games look now.
I mean, I’m impressed now, on behalf of ten year old me I suppose.
Maybe that I went into a blue collar profession, but that I make such obscene money doing it.
Well I did write down that I was going to win a billion money and move to the moon. I have much less faith in gambling now though.
Very little, I basically achieved everything 10 year old me wanted (own a house, work with my dad, have a house husband, own a car - I was a really boring 10 year old).
But that’s awesome! Having simpler dreams means you can actually achieve them! That’s so much better than having dreams of stardom that results in disappointment and wasted life opportunities for 99.99999% of those people.
And also, your dreams sound like very meaningful things that make a great life!
i live in a different country and most of the day i speak a different language
Tossup between “You didn’t join the military?” and “Why the hell do you want to sleep so much! You’re an adult! You could be up at midnight!”
That in pretty much every single sense of the word I’m an absolutely pathetic loser.
I didn’t think I’d ever be anything special, but I also didn’t think I’d be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else’s garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.
10 year old me couldn’t wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I’d eventually become lol
That I never did Something Great™ with my life.
Didn’t become a rock star, didn’t cure cancer, didn’t invent a world changing technology, didn’t become a famous artist, etc.
I didn’t know specifically what I was aiming to do, but for some reason I assumed that i would do something that made a big impact on the world. I was totally convinced of it. And it’s not because my parents constantly told me that or anything. The closest i heard was a lot of “you have so much potential if you’d only apply yourself!” Ugh.
i didnt hear no bell
Maybe at your age. At my age almost all of the Something Great bells have rung. Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of very meaningful things i can accomplish, and many important impacts i can make on individual people’s lives, - but for me the possibility of doing something that has a broader impact on society is pretty much gone. But so what, the impact i can have on individual people’s lives is still very valuable, and my own subjective experience of life is just as important as anyone else’s! So i try to make my own experience of living as good as it can be!
my parents had me convinced id magically save the world. made me feel like id never have to try, so i didnt. we see how that worked out lol
I mean thats like what. fourth or fifth grade. I can’t even relate to who that was. flashes of memory at best. got a little more coherent ones from junior high but even high school and college are a blur.
I touched boobies.
“What do you mean you’re happy with getting socks for Christmas?!”
Darn Tough
Never thought I’d spend as much on the wool socks I have… yet here I am.
“You look just like dad. And that’s very disappointing.”
