If you could meet your younger self...

[Margo2023]

What advice would you give? Health, relationships, career etc

[WehIstMir]

Use sunscreen in your face religiously (now in my 50s and dealing with historical sun damage, luckily pre-cancer but visible).

Stop drinking

[JustRollWithIt]

Don't let my first love get away (I know he feels the same)

Budget and plan finances as soon as start earning. Avoid debt always.

[StephanieSuperpowers]

Nobody cares. Don't worry so much. You actually can.

[Pinkfluffypencilcase]

Don’t worry about your skinny legs!
And avoid the boy with the great smile and hair because he will break your heart. Stick with the one that made you laugh lots.

Be more confident. Don’t be scared.

If I was my younger self all I would want to hear is that it's all going to be ok. You got this. It will be tough sometimes but you can do it.

Lots of people gave you great advice when you were younger but you didn't listen.

All interesting and good responses. I am 39 and seem to be catastrophising recently. I suppose I am thinking of parents ageing, cost of living etc. but this is a good reminder to enjoy what is now and try not to worry about things that are outwith my control.

Definitely the ‘don’t worry, you’ll have a great life, and in the times you don’t you’ve got the strength to deal with it’. I was scared of the future when I was young and I didn’t need to be.
