s/o feeling like an adult

What would your teenage self think of your adult self?

I think teenage me would wonder why adult me didn't do a lot cooler things with my salary and adult "freedom."

Teenage me would be shocked I wasn't doing something more creative with my career and may be slightly disappointed I chose to live near my hometown.

I think teenage me would be p!ssed at a lot of the things I gave up, like acting. I really do miss being on stage, and I think part of that missing is 16-year-old me screaming "GO ON AN AUDITION" from somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind.

I think teenage me would be proud of the friendships I kept and even more proud of the people I cut out of my life.

I think teenage me would hate me for not dressing better. I used to dress so cute -- I would NEVER think jeans/t-shirt/sneakers was appropriate unless it had some fabulous accessory and/or was on a day when I had lots of "work" to do (like building sets or organizing the costume closet or working for 12 hours on a yearbook deadline). Now, that's what I live in. I miss cute clothes.

Ooo that's a good one.  Although teenage me would be sad about a few people I drifted away from.

My teenage self would be in shock that I married DH.  We knew eachother back then, but he was totally a dork.  A super nice dork, but a dork. 

I think overall teenage self would be cool with adult self though.  I did a lot of adventurous things before settling down (skydiving, scuba, summering on a glacier in Alaska, traveling).  I know teenage self would like that.  Teenage self would be telling adults self to go for a run though

I don't know. There are a lot of things teenage-me would be proud of but other things that would probably depress me too. Teenage-me expected to be more settled and stable by now.

I think my teenage self would be proud of where my adult self has ended up and where I am going, minus my schooling/career path. I would totally change that if I could do it all over again. Like JB, though my teenage self would be telling my adult self to get some exercise!

I think teenage me would be happy with most things in my adult life. I don't think I would have expected to be married by this point. Also, I think I would be happy knowing that I've come out of my shell quite a bit, but sad to know that I have barely kept any of my friends from hs. I'd probably be a little disappointed that I've never really lived outside of my hometown.

I would be happy that I am actually going to finish college. And that I have a decent job.

Honestly, I would probably be a little disappointed that I got married this young. Not that I regret it, but ya know. My teen self would be upset that I didn't move out of this area, too.

I would be proud of myself for getting out of my hometown but a little disappointed that I settled down so quickly after moving here.  I would also be disappointed that I wasn't smarter with my money.  I would definitely be happy that I grew a backbone and started living more of my life for me.

Teenage self would be disappointed with my career choice.

Teenage self woud be proud that I finally made it to Europe to live.

I think my teenage self would be sad that I didn't go into a more interesting career and instead followed my husband around. I do think teenage me would be proud of the confident, adventure seeking person I have become. Teenage self would also be proud of how hot my husband is
