QOTD #00053: “If you could travel back in time, what would you urge your younger self to NOT do?”

“If I can go back in time, what would I encourage my younger self to do? - or, not to do? Not to spend all your money and try to save some.”

“If I could travel back in time, I would tell myself to not have bought a car because I think that cars are really bad and that we need more sustainable options to travel.”

“Um, if I can travel back in time and tell myself not to do something, it would be, 'Don't get your eyebrows done so young, and don't just do it with a different person all the time 'cuz they can possibly be messing it up.' So, you know, get your eyebrows done with the same lady, make sure it's a good lady, and make sure she doesn't mess up your eyebrows.”

“If I could travel back in time and tell myself to not do something, or do it differently - Shh ... I would tell myself to not get married the first time to the wrong woman. Oh, oh, I would save myself so much misery if I could just go back in time and do that.”

“I would tell myself to not buy that $300 chair on Amazon that I never put together.”

“If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to never be afraid to take risks because if you don't believe in you, nobody else will.”

“I would probably urge myself not to - I wish I didn't do this - I wish I didn't paint my room neon color because that was a really bad decision. At the moment I thought it was cool, but it was a pain in the butt to paint my room all over again to this kind of color.”

“If I could go back in time and tell myself not to do something, it would probably be to look to the left when I drove out into traffic. Um, yeah, that insurance premium went up by a good amount because of that little slip-up.”

“Okay, so if I could travel back in time and tell myself not to do something, it would be to not overpluck my eyebrows. Thankfully, they grew back, but all throughout college I overplucked them or I let them grow too bushy, and it was always just an issue. Um, so I went abroad and it changed my life, at 19, and all throughout abroad, um, sorry to be that girl - but all throughout abroad, I had literally no eyebrows - literally, no eyebrows. And I feel like I just missed a great opportunity to be my best self abroad because I had no eyebrows, and that is something I would tell myself not to do. Don't overpluck your eyebrows.”

“If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self not to worry at all about what other people think. My younger self spent way too much time worrying about what other people thought of me. Shoulda not worried at all.”

“I'd probably go back to the '50s and ensure that my young parents fall in love so that I exist and, um, yeah, use my DeLorean to come back to the future? Wait, that's a movie. Never mind.”

“If I could travel back in time . Would I urge my younger self to not do ? They were just so many dates I probably should have passed on . Giant waste of time .”
