Discussion Anyone get upset thinking about their younger self?

[Lullaby]

When I was a kid, I used to sit behind my couch at night and stare outside the window. I would look at the stars and always wish to be somewhere else. Being in my childhood home still, that really messes me up, because I think about that all the time.

I have dreams where I'm sitting next to my younger self in front of lake, and I just cry. I cry and just apologize to her, while she sits there looking at me.

My younger self had so many dreams, hopes, aspirations. The complete opposite of everything I've wanted has happened, and all I can do is just mourn for the kid inside me who wanted so much more than this. I would literally wish for a better, happier life every night.

I wish had a protected her more from all the bad people we've met, the trauma, the disappointment. It's only increased over the years. I have these dreams everyday and all I can do is say I'm sorry.

Probably the opposite for me. If I had a chance to meet my younger self I'd probably want to beat him up for becoming me.

I've always just wanted to have a quiet life after all I've been through. A nice career that I like, a nice place to live, friends, settle down and have a family. I've never wanted to be happy but just content and okay with my life.

I know these are all attainable and still possible, but I'm just tired of trying. I'm almost 30, it's scares me to think that I could still be in this position by then. I've struggled for so many years, it seems never ending now.

Life is not always the way we want it to be (Its not a IG post) and there are many factors that we cannot handle. My life has also been chaotic.

 

[Ashu]

Yeah. If I could go back again, I'd beat the shit outta the stupid fuck. My life would be perfect now if I could.

 

[Cathy Ames]

Yes, most definitely.

Unfortunately life is really unfair and for some people there are more downs than ups. But I guess it's never to late to change. Life goes around.

To me, it is depressing thinking about the past. I have never wanted to live and I have always been sad. I do not have any positive memories from the past. It is upsetting that I was even born in the first place.

yeah same i can empathize with that, but with my mom.

my life would be going well, its hard without a mom.

she loved me unconditionally and everyone else will never care about me like she did.

your grandpa was awesome and proud of you.
