For me, it would be that I smoke weed
I didn’t have a lot of belief in myself. At 10 my dream was “work in an office”, because it would mean I was smart enough to not need to work a manual job. I also firmly believed that no woman would want me.
I’d be surprised to learn that I’m married, have a child, and work in tech for one of the biggest companies in the world. They’d also be surprised that I’m moving to that city where Friends is.
I finally learned to ride a bike. And I touched boobies.
Computers aren’t cool anymore.
That I’m still alive.
-
That I’d rather go outside than play video games all day.
-
That I no longer care about becoming a software developer and work in a huge corporation (fuck 'em)
-
That I still have no girlfriend.
-
That it all worked out, somehow.
10 yrs old you Hi-Five!
That i don’t believe in god anymore. My family was very religious growing up
The brainwashing is real. Took me years to fully grow out of it.
that im still alive
20 was the expectancy
i always say im running on fumes of spite now and i got plenty of spite still leftThat I live in a small car with my wife and a cat. lol Never would have ever guessed that.
At least it’s temporary as we are buying land and will soon get an RV and build a house.
That I’m a runner. Never in my life did I imagine ever enjoying running. Aiming for my first marathon in spring!
Awesome! Do what you love! 10 yrs old you would think that’s so cool. 26 miles is Really far!
10 year old me would be surprised that my predicted death didn’t happen. As a bit of fun one time my cousin, my sister, and I all wrote obituaries for ourselves and I couldn’t imagine living past 35 so that’s when I set my death date. It would be a bit of a shock for him that I’m staring down the big 4-0 (still a bit of a shock for me).
“Still a fat loser I see. And a weed smoker? But, our D.A.R.E lion? 🥺”
I guess how much I’m still the same person. Sure, I have a house, a job, I’m an adult. But I also still play video games, including stuff like RCT which I lived back in the day. My brain still switches from interest to interest, and my brain is still completely obsessed whatever interests me at the moment. Ultimately I’m still that slightly weird nerdy kid, just grown up.
12 y/o me would probably be amazed that his fancy new Nintendo DS is still alive and kicking almost 20 years down the line. In hindsight it’s not too surprising though, because I always treated it with the utmost respect and care.
I can’t imagine 10 year old me
That I never watched the final Star Wars movie. I was 10 years old in 1977 when the original came out
