Guys, read this, is this not the most beautiful thing you've read in such a while?
I felt so emotional reading this, I wasn't far from being moved to tears. This author is such a great writer, and this idea/premise is so good!
After reading I felt like writing mine about meeting my younger self, but after thinking about it I changed my mind because my younger self was really cool and didn't wait till he got old to learn the important lessons of life. So I can't really call my present self an upgrade and therefore there isn't much to compare with my younger self.
I mean, I can, but the difference is not so much. Not because I haven't improved over the years but because the younger version of me was unlike most younger people. I really grew up fast.
Secondly, I'm in my mid to late twenties, so I'm still kinda young, I think I can't write something like this till I'm in my 30s or something.
Thirdly, I'm still chasing the same dreams I've been chasing since I was younger. I've had some progress and big wins, but I'm still far from 50% of what I've been chasing, so it's not a good look.
I feel like if I go to talk to my younger self now I'll have news that would make him happy and excited but not mind-blowing news, not news that would make him shed tears of joy.
So what is the need of going all the way back to meet him? He'd most likely say I should have waited a lil more, then in order not to break my spirits would say it's no problem that I can still come back after a little more time, that he's still very happy to see me.
And I'll be left with a tinge of anticlimax.
I'm going to do this some years later. But I invite everyone who can to do a piece like this about themselves, it'd be a lot of fun and poignantly introspective.
