Discussion What would your 15-year-old self think of you?

[lionetta12]

In my case I think she'd be absolutely horrified, maybe even in disbelief, unable to conceive of how someone could spend their life starving on obscenely little amounts of food then binging on obscenely enormous amounts of food then making themself throw up then doing it all over again day after day after day for years on end, all the while having failed at committing suicide several times, and being completely disinterested in all their previous interests, and being completely isolated, having never found a boyfriend even approaching 24, and to top it all off, unemployed due to incapacity.

I think teenage-me would look at current-me with scorn and pity.

I would have been devastated to see that I didn't get married or have a kid by age 25 and I would have probably ended my life at 15 then because what's the point of living if I wasn't going to get married and have a kid when that was my life goals and life purpose.

My 15 year old self would totally understand me at least deep down, it's not exactly our first rodeo.
But he was happy and filled with hope back then so he'd probably tell me to stay hard and to keep moving forward.


He'd tell me to go outside.

I'd tell him, it's only too late when he gets to my age.
