If you were to meet yourself...

Postby Kuda » Fri Feb 16, 2007 6:39 am

An odd question recently popped up in my head, I'll probably attribute it to listening to Letter~From the lost days too much...

Given this much time from child to adult to reflect on your place in life, what would you think of your past self when you end up meeting them? What would you expect your past self to think of his or her future self when they see you now?

I'd feel sorry for myself, since I know what has yet to come.

And my younger self wouldn't think about me at all, beyond just being another person. Unless I or someone else outright told him that I was them from the future, they wouldn't know to think of me as such, or even realize the possibility.

I agree with Nikkou...Though, when the time came that my younger self could even speak somewhat fluently, his life already would've been ruined.

I would...

I am not sure. If he doesn't do the things he is supposed to do I wouldn't end up like me.

I don't want that.

Well, at any point you want to choose, but hopefully some time closer to your childhood


For me, I'd probably be happy for my younger self, envious even; the 'lil guy hasn't even begun to face all those problems in life that would eventually occur in a few more years.

I think the first thing my past self might notice would be the fact that 'he' seems to always look so tired :P though I guess he might be glad that he does end up making some friends later on.

Although I do hope I never meet myself from a few years ago :P he might be in for a shock at how much things have changed over just a few years.

My child self would probably be surprised that I am of 'average' weight, if with a bit of a pot-belly, that I'm so strong, and that I shave. (Depending on whether or not I remembered to shave, he might be surprised at the unkempt look.)

My current self would probably just try to help my younger self come to certain realizations earlier, or make certain types of improvements earlier. I still have a lot of growing to do, but if I managed to come out of my shell earlier, it would help.

A younger self before experiencing the problems of life? That would be hard for me as any younger self to be recognizable as being me, my current life is much better than what i had before. So what i would most likely do was worry about what i could do for that clearly pained, introverted kid who was amazingly skilled at hiding the pain. And i would never figure it out i would think, i am horrible at dealing with children, much worse than dealing with people who are closer to growing completely up.

I might be frikkin' annoyed, but I think we would like each other. I'm pretty good with kids and I've just recently in my life got a lot of my old spirit and enthusiasm that I had back then back and I pattern a lot of who I am and what I do on what I used to think was cool as a kid. There are a whole lot of similarities between how I was going into the fire and how I came out, although I know when to shut up now for the most part.
