If your younger self could see your current life, what would surprise or confuse them the most?

I'm sober & clean, I'm educated, I'm financially secure enough that I can afford a down payment on a house - if I venture outside of my town, I can soon buy a house straight out of pocket, I'm with a wonderful man, I've amazing friends and a job I love. I'm alive.

[SillyMari]

Knowing myself with using stuff like alcohol and cannabis.. I say my younger self would probably be confused as to why i am using it but even more confused to find out we just can't sleep at night anymore without sleep aid.

Life is rough.. take care of your sleep wake pattern..

[BCRanger10]

How young? I think he'd probably be disappointed that I wasn't fronting the next Metallica, and also that compared to who I was bad then, he'd probably see me today as an obnoxious and overconfident jerkface.

[matchrestore]

The fact that I have a foreskin might surprise them the most. That I'm successful as a professional lighting designer all these years later might also be a pleasant surprise.

[petitedollbabee]

Confuse them with the fact that I have a kid and pregnant with another one. I was heavily against having kids until I had my first.

[hello4433]

Congrats on being pregnant ✨️

[MemeSupreme]

they'd be surprised that im not dead, homeless, or in jail lol

i remember thinking that for the first time as a kid that i'd end up one of those 3

[fonduegirl]

My younger self was a lot into "Instagram is good once you know how to use it" and "porn in moderation is also good"... Im now the opposite.

I didn't change, the world changed.

[OneViewpoint]

How I got to be where I am. How I got from the world the 10 year old me knew to the world I live in now. There's no way for a 10 year old kid to comprehend that.

[rachel776]

she would wonder how i got into country music from not knowing a single country song 🤷‍♀️

[Beckybooboo]

That I left Florida and my family to live in WI. The current Becky can't believe it!

[exitseven]

that is pretty crazy. If I could talk my wife into it I would move to Florida tomorrow.

[Beckybooboo]

@exitseven I remember you telling me that. My parents did it the right way, they moved to Florida from Ohio while they were in their twenties. Since I'm their favorite, they're are considering moving close to me once they both retire. I told them not to be so stupid!

[exitseven]

When I got out if grad school I applied for a job at NASA. I got Ted Kennedys office to write me a letter if recommendation. I was really serious about this. A big envelop with the NASA logo on it shows up at the house. My wife saw it and she said if I wanted to go to Florida I could go by myself.

[trumpetplayerforlife]

That we have a husband and that you can't see my ribs no more

[katiesmuff]

That I would be happily married with four children.

[Nikki1989]

Perhaps how I have come so far from absolutely nothing.

[2_beHappy]

Probably how I talk to different strangers on the Internet

[SotiCoto]

Probably the printed out cheat-sheet of events in the last 30 years I'd be holding up to help them Biff Tannen the timeline.

[Bloodparadise]

My skin has become a lighter shade on the cheeks.. that would surprise me

And the feeling of being watched would confuse me

[WonderingManII]

Why people at school I worked for did the crazy things they did.

[Ironco]

He'd say..."Shit, what happened to my hair?"

I'd say back..."Look at your uncle, then you'll see it."🤔😂 😆

🤪

[Guanfei]

He would be surprised the none of the things he dreamed and hoped for became reality, and that I'm now what he was afraid to become.

[Fallenn7]

I sing and play the guitar, which is also my education.

[jahaims]

I retired at 30 and have a family. 20 year old me or younger wouldn't have believed it.

[qwerty2469]

That I dont live in Philly, im not dead, I have kids and a boring wife

[Anonymous]

Nothing really, my younger self wasn't that optimistic.

[Anonymous]

It would confuse them that I still can’t drive

[Kingofkings1992]

He’d be scared shitless to see the monster that he’ll turn into

[just_a_potato]

How I'm still even alive at all 🤣

[exitseven]

hey potato.

[just_a_potato]

@exitseven hello mister ❤️

[BobbieBoy666]

My nude lifestyle now.

[Finchie40]

My younger self would say WTF !!! lol

[DonaldDarko]

I honestly don't know.

[Fireguy17]

That I'm actually still here.

[exitseven]

How boring I am.

[DrPepper12]

The twisted hand of fate...

[BLP11520]

How much I have aged🧐

[dudeinohio]

I don't think I'd be surprised.

[DJB72]

That I'm sane

[supercutebutt]

Our butt 🍑
