If future you could go back in time and give some advice to present you, what words would you say to your past self? I know the question's been asked, "If you could travel back in time, who would you wanna meet," and many have answered Cleopatra or Albert Einstein or Leonardo da Vinci or perhaps even Galilei but who would travel back in time to give some pointers to their own selves? If not for Looper, I wouldn't have thought about meeting my past self but thinking about it now, I just might have a lot to say to myself. First of, I'd be a little nice and forgiving about my weight. I wouldn't think about it a lot and think of it as a curse because even if I have been bullied a lot, my weight now has been quite desirable. I could pretty much still eat anything I want and though I might still be missing meat in most areas, I'm pretty sure women would kill to have a physique like mine. I wouldn't worry too much about how I look back then too, I would have really told my past self to relax, you'll be pretty someday coz damn that weight did take its toll but hey, at least I'm now reaping the rewards - or at least enjoying the compliments ;-) I would tell my past self too to forget being or wishing to be with all the guys I dated. All were pretty much worthless lol I mean I'm pretty good friends with some but if only I could avoid the expectations and frustrations, I would do so in a heartbeat. - sorry!!! I would have told my past self too to be a little bit more serious with my studies. I oftentimes wonder what I could have become had I been more confident and diligent but I guess that's just what my life would pretty much be considering my circumstances. But if given the chance I would have done it with more heart. Studying and school for me back then was pretty much just a chore and an obligation. I was never told the importance and value of it so I would love to change that. I would teach past me of my current job too. Had I been doing what I do now, especially when I was 20, I just might have already been all over the world but since it's already the present, I'll just try do and make the best of what I can do. Future plans, well I'm still looking for inspiration. Life needs to be a bit more challenging and so far everything's a bit shitty that it's not really something to be optimistic about but I'll try my best to fins something appealing. So I might not have lived the kind of life I wish I have lived but I'm already here and all the time and experiences had its rewards and its meaning. I'm looking forward to a better me, a better future. Coz if there's nothing to look forward to, why still live? And so far, I do still have a lot of things I'm looking forward to happening. Might not still be exactly what I want but eh, so what! If you always know what lies ahead, why go ahead? I'm looking forward to meet and uncover the unknown, so if future me ever have plans to spoil the surprise, don't! I just might like what lies ahead better than you do... Cheers to life!
