If you’re not middle aged, pick a younger age, IDK
“Thank you for warning. I’m leaving right now to make sure [name removed] is not able to enlist”.
My friend was killed by the United States Army.
“So we’re still a fat fucking loser. Great. Nice cat though.”
Are you in my house?
So I’m 30. At 19 this time of year I was on the verge of accepting that I’m a trans woman (i thought I was nonbinary [yes gender] and never coming out). And yeah today I’m in the process of moving to a blue state with my wife.
19 year old me would mostly be shocked I want to live tbh
damn, maybe I should stop smoking weed and stay in college
You figured out what to do in life and landed a nice career? Nice!
You’re still single? That really sucks.
Our family blew up? Dad’s gone? Oh…
At 19, it was right before a rough few years. My parents went through a messy and drawn-out divorce that I was dragged through the middle of, and ended with my dad dying. Those events helped me figure out who I was and ultimately led me to where I am today, which is in a pretty good spot, but it was a terrible price to pay.
“How can you possibly live your life and not care what people think? Impossible!”
It can be done, 19 year old me. ☺️
I’m just surviving, dawg
He’d ignore me then yell “I knew it! I’m going bald!”
19 year old me would say “ah so you didn’t get into that university that offered industrial design eh? But I like computers so a software job is okay. Also sort of living the dream of being in a cool part of town but you aren’t really taking advantage of it.”
We are still on course just with a unplan sidemission with our boyfriend
“… Wait, that’s a job? I don’t understand.”
What is your job?
I’m a research analyst. I write research about technology, give advice to companies about it, and present at conferences in person on it.
“you’re still alive? You own a house? You’re dating a divorced mom and her and her daughter moved in? You have 4 cats?”
I was really depressed and had undiagnosed ADHD. I genuinely believed that I wouldn’t make it to 30. I was sure that my life was going to end at my own hand. I also didn’t think I was worthy of love or that I’d ever find a woman who I could have a relationship with.
So yea, my 19 year old self would be very surprised that I exist at all.
“im gonna be pretty?”
Don’t bother
