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.

:'( And take photos and videos and save voicemails from those you love because when they are gone it is like a tiny piece of them you get to hold on to more than object or keepsake.

    it's the political system that more than welcomes him as a candidate, as well as the people who vote for him, that are the issue. not the individual himself. he's just one person.

    This! These were the three exact words I immediately thought about!

    Many of the most popular responses included people advising their younger selves to buy Amazon, Apple, or Microsoft stocks. "I wanted to buy $4000 of Amazon stock very early on. Husband said I was nuts and badgered me, so I didn't. Instead, we put it with the money we had saved for the down payment on a bigger house. Still kicking myself. I knew I was smarter than him," someone commented. "Imagine your future self says 'invest in Apple.' But you don’t know that is. So you pour money into orchards and become the biggest apple (small “a”) magnate in the world," another user added.

    Instead of saying "Stop Smoking Now" I'd say, "Learn TM now." Transcendental Meditation wakes up the body so it rejects what is harmful to it. Even with an 18-year history of smoking, TM made quitting relatively easy for me. It is now almost 50 years later and even though three of my family members died of lung cancer from smoking, I am alive with healthy lungs, as well as having a huge lot more of benefits from it. Go to TM.org to see the research.

    Also, apparently, many people would advise themselves to marry or not to marry a certain person. For instance, one user shared that their 3 words would be "marry that girl." Someone commented on this tweet by saying this: "Can you find her? Is she legally available? At 77, my uncle found his high school sweetheart on FB. Both sides had spouses dead over 5 years. They are having the BEST time! SO happy! Live 1000 miles apart, so airplane and visit. Look her up!!!"

    Remember that is this comment is not about you and you proclaiming your love of parenthood. So don't judge her. She probably agrees that she is not the best mom in the world but she found out too late in life. I think her honestly, to herself and in this comment, is brave.

    How is this even a conversation? If she had kids at all, then this is a messed up thing to say. Even if she's acknowledging her weakness, she's doing this by saying that her children, human beings who exist in this world, should have never been born. There's nothing brave or commendable in that, it's messed up and shamefully self-centered. ...none of which is surprising when you look at her "I live on a diet of lemons and unripe prunes" face.

    One of the "advances" I've been glad to see: it's no longer socially negative for a young girl - or a young couple - to decide they don't want to have children. When I was young, to make such a statement would have brought your world down on you: parents, grandparents, even your doctor.

    None of us knows why she says this. It may have turned out that she carries a gene which makes her children die after a short and painful childhood. Maybe her children joined a gang and were killed or became murderers. Why take for granted that she is either a bad mom or a nasty person? We all have this idea of The Perfect Happy Family in our heads - and you know what, life doesn't come giftwrapped and perfect to a lot of people around us.

    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 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...

    Apple are cheap bastards that don;t even give you a charger with a $ 1.600 phone. And a new PS or Xbox is cheaper that a set of 4 wheels for your Mac Pro. And it's a $ 1.000 for a metal monitor standard...

    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?

    Never vote straight party, and especially do not suggest a lifetime of straight party. If you convince yourself that either party is all good or all bad, one has all the answers and the other is just stupid, you are part of what's wrong in the world.

    I never voted straight party-line neither I ever registered as one or other party. However that all changed after tDump became president and I show how turtle mitch pulled stunts plus how the republican party covered for tDump. I will never vote republican ever again at any level of government. I wish I would have taken a Vietnam war veteran's advice more at heart. All he told me before my first vote was "If you are a working-class never ever vote for a republican." I didn't understand that at the time but now I do.

    For those whining: syntactically, "don´t" is one word. "The" is a word that has no meaning unless used with a noun. So technically, it is three words.
