What would your 15 year old self think of you now?
What would your 15 year old self think of you now?

Completely blown away. I had several things that I was completely utterly afraid of. And it was a lot of things at the age of 15. Meanwhile I was in the worst part of my life. So she would be absolutely in awe.
- That I am in fact not homeless.
- Not married and no children.
- A decent job.
- I do have a car.
- One bedroom apartment. (A big deal)
- That I no longer fight depression and suicidal thoughts or ideations.
- That I have dropped every single “friend” that I knew previously before I joined the military. - she would be floored lol.
- I did join the army and stayed in for a long time. That I got my E6.
- That I am still alive and healthy. She would be amazed and mind blown. Completely floored and jaw dropped.

She would be obsessed with my house, I totally had her in mind when buying it. She'd think I was insanely cool and hopefully feel a sense of relief that the way she feels at 15, while really difficult, won't last forever, there is a horizon. She also gets a massive hug from me, she did a tremendous job under heartbreaking circumstances.

Very confused about how I went from being a cishet conservative Catholic guy to an atheist bisexual trans woman. So, probably not stoked about that.
Aside from that, probably pretty happy! I’ve got a good job and a kickass wife. I have a dog and friends and a little garden. Those were all things I wanted in my future even when I was 15, and here we are!

She'd be very confused, and then excited that I'd finally figured it out. It only took me another 20ish years 😹

As far as my life in the real world that I have to live goes: bitterly disappointed. As far as my sense of identity and beliefs go, happy. But also disappointed that I only got to this point when it basically seems like it's too late.
I just hope that in this hypothetical situation where my 15 year old self gets a glimpse of me now, that it causes my 15 year old self to do things differently and have a great life in a parallel universe.

It sounds like you feel disappointed in where you are right now. That's not a nice feeling, it's hard. What's caused that disappointment?

Just want to say, I was trying to answer your question without offloading too much, and I'm sorry that I kinda did. We all have problems and I don't want to make mine yours or anyone else's. I'm just feeling sorry for myself right now, that's all. And I'll probably magically feel better when I get my hands on some herb again. Tbh I'm thinking of deleting my first response because it's a bit much. Thank you for being kind and asking tho.

Yeah, that’s about right
-
NGL I’d be a lot cooler and confident than I was back then lol
-
I, um, I'm not sure actually 😅
-
There would be a mix of profound excitement, and profound disappointment.

I think she'd love that I do lot for charity and stuff. She'd love my house, hair and like lots of my clothes. She'd have mixed feelings about me not being in touch with my family.
Regarding my sexuality... I think she'd probably shriek that she's straight and hide under the duvet. So I don't think I'll mention that...

"You have a husband? Hmmm okay I guess. Why are you gardening??? We hate the outside! We love having a library computer room and cats though. Fine fine. Get healthier??"
