QOTD Tuesday 2/8
What would your 10-year-old self think about you? 15yo? 20yo?

Re: QOTD Tuesday 2/8
I was just thinking about this today, actually, only I was thinking about what my 13 yo self (I was bullied that year, and I had zero self-confidence, highly depressed, angst-o-rama, ect ect ect) would think. If she could see me, I think she'd feel better about her rather crappy eighth grade year and the fact that it isn't going to last forever. Also, she' be amazed that I'm facebook friends and on good terms with the girls who were so mean to her.
My 15yo self would be scandalized that I didn't marry Eric Smith (the High School BF) even though I totally KNEW he was THE ONE.
My 20yo self would just be relieved that, despite years of my ovaries hating me, I proved myself capable of achieving and maintaining a pregnancy
I think they'd all be happy that I lost a lot of weight, and am married, own a house and have 3 dogs. I always felt like once I was happily married, had multiple dogs and my own house, I'd be so accomplished.
I think I'd be shocked that I'm not in a career that involves cooking, baking, music or teaching. And a little disappointed that I'm working in a field and job I hate.
And never would I have ever thought I'd be living in Florida. And since I grew up thinking I didn't want kids, pregnant. Maybe my 20 yr. old self wouldn't be surprised, but my 15 yr old self would be shocked
ETA: And my 15/20 self would be shocked as hell that I'm reading the HP series
My 20 y/o self would be surprised I made it out of my twenties alive.
My 15 y/o self would be very sad I didn't marry my "high school" sweetheart. I use the term loosely because he was older and we never actually attended high school together. She would also be sad that I have not remained close friends with anyone from MD.
My 10 y/o self would be happy to be living in Florida. My Aunt lives in Tampa and after we visited her for the first time I knew I would move to Florida.
10 y/o self would be shocked to see I'm not a mom yet, but I think I would be very happy with where I'm at.
15 y/o self would be happy that I didn't end up with HS bf.
20 y/o self would think I'm super awesome with what I have accomplished.
10yo me would think my life is too boring to even think about.
15yo me would think my life is too boring to even think about and would be pissed I don't have kids yet and I'm not a SAHM yet.
20yo me would think my life is too boring to even think about and would be pissed I don't have kids yet and even more pissed that I don't plan to ever SAH.
