Twitter Users Share 3 Words They’d Say To Their 18 Y.O. Selves And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones
It would probably be fair enough to assume that every single one of us sometimes dreams about traveling a few years (or a few decades) back in time. Some of us would like to go back and change a few things here and there, some would like to experience the best moments of their lives once again, and some, well, some people would simply love to go back to when life felt easier. The list goes on and on. Though despite the reasons behind it, the idea of time travel and being able to change your past itself is an interesting and tempting concept. But here's a thing—what if you could go back in time and meet a younger version of yourself? What would you like to do then?
Let's take a moment to explore this kind of scenario. Recently, Twitter user A_l_a_n__G shared a post asking others what are the 3 words they would tell their 18-year-old self through time travel.
Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to look through some of the best responses.

Good advice. I thought putting others first... being taken advantage of... one day someone would do the same for me. Obviously I’m no where near perfect and made plenty of mistakes... but it turns out i should have lived my life the way i wanted to and not let ANYONE get in my way, because no one else gives a s**t. There’s a lot more to unpack on that general statement... but she’s right about ‘like yourself first’ in soo many ways.

I know I could have used this advice in my 20's. I know it now, 30 years later.

I remember chatting with my brother who was into tech. He was saying that Apple stock was very, very cheap. He said they were about to introduce a new product that would store and play digital music. The iPod. He said if it took off, which it might, it would go big. If it failed, it would probably be the end of Apple. He said if I had a grand to invest, it would be a good gamble. Neither of us had a grand we thought we could risk at the time...

I'm sorry but this is my favorite. Because of course, if someone had just told 18 year old Alexandra not to eat bats, this whole covid thing never would have happened. You shouldn't eat bats Alexandra. Bats: Besties not Breakfast.

Why the hate? (Well into the negatives at the time I'm writing this.) Maybe this is what she did, and looking back it was the best part of her life. Or maybe she didn't and has lived with regret. Either way, why do so many downvote anything different from the way they think?

Even though he wasn't a nice person in real life (he beat up women, his own admission), he didn't deserve to be murdered.
