Oh my G-d! I just had a vision of myself 4 years ago. I was 15? I don't even remember. I had an account on chabadtalk.com but then I abandoned it, cuz I decided it was a waste of time. I just checked it out to see if it was still there. It is!
I was reading through all my old posts and comments. It's like meeting a younger version of myself. I was cringing! Man, did I use the smiley emoticon way too often. And trying to please everyone? Ugh. I'm happy to say I've done a lot of maturing since then.
If you were to meet yourself from 4 years ago, what would you think?
I havent been bloging for that long yet (SMILEY FACE) but i think i would beat some sense into the idiot that was/ (Is) me. also i would think: ''those glasses are so not in anymore'', and ''what a short guy''
ReplyDeleteAnd im very happy that you have ''matured'' so much that you dont want to please people anymore, ''one day'' ill be that way too.
Btw is this your version of ''memories'' to prove that you are not a rebellious teen who dosent look back?
It's not that I want to please people. I just stopped caring after wasting so much energy.
ReplyDeleteNo. I'm not trying to prove anything, this just hit me today, like, ooooh boy, thats what I used to be?? Thats so embarrasing. (Groan. You would think so too if you saw some of the comments I left on the sight 4 years ago.)
I'm not a rebellious teenager who doesmn't look back.
I just do whatever I want and don't really care about the outcome, and why bother looking back until you are 50, and actually have some years to look back on?
Se non é vero. é ben trovato
ReplyDeleteRound two goes to you :-) :-) :-)
:) I gotta learn another language besides English!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I was much different four years ago than what I am now. Maybe I'm older and wiser now. (Definitely older, hopefully wiser; the jury is still out on the latter.) Now if you asked about high school....shudder.
ReplyDeleteI guess for each person it would be a different age range, cuz for some ppl after they hit 25 its all the same. I'm 19 so 4 years ago I was still young and stupid. Now I'm older and less stupid.
ReplyDeleteYa, how were you in high school?
Let's see four years ago I was 23 1/2 and still a good year from really contemplating becoming more religious, and a year and two months away from really starting down the path to frumkeit. So, I was working a dead end job, drinking most weekends with my friends, and playing a lot of videogames. Wow I was a loser back then! Glad, somethings have changed! I still have a dead end job, but a different one, I don't drink on the weekends unless its for a Simcha, I don't play much videogames, and I am frum now... def an improvement I say! :)
ReplyDeleteDaniel: thats good to hear! But I cant believe you gave up video games just to grow up!!
ReplyDeleteWell, of late I haven't had as much time for them... and even when I have had time for them, and I have not played, I feel all grown up. But they do constantly call my name... :)
ReplyDelete4 years ago I was...whatever. Too young. Actually I was pretty cute. And I didn't have internet at home :D.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I cringed when I looked at my first blog posts a while back. Though it was cool to see how much I've grown/changed since then.
ReplyDeleteFour years ago...
ReplyDeleteI would have to laugh at my younger self, now that I think about him.
We are very similar still.
I wish I could give him some good advice, though, about the years to come.
He'd turn out way cooler than me, (but I would still have a better blog...)
Maybe guys take longer to mature. Thats ok, u still have time.
ReplyDeleteCool isnt all its cracked up to be, btw.
Excuse me? what makes you think I'm not mature?
ReplyDelete'We are still very similar.'
ReplyDeleteI was joking, don't take it seriously.
okay. i forgive you
ReplyDeleteI dont remember apologising. But I'm glad we understand each other.
ReplyDeleteWait, who were you on chabadtalk?
ReplyDelete:) u think I'm gonna tell you now?
ReplyDeletewhy not?
ReplyDeleteI direct you to my blog URL (the full one, not the forwarding address) . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't get that.
ReplyDelete"Everyone thinks they were an idiot ten years ago. What they don't realize is that its going to take them ten years to figure out that they're an idiot right now."
ReplyDeleteI don't remember who said that, but whoever it was is right.
:) Of course. But then again, we shouldn't have to live life always regretting the past. We have to mature sometime, and realize that everything that came before had to have happened, to bring us to this moment.
ReplyDeleteRegrets are just guilt. It's not a good thing. And usually not productive.
