If I Could Turn Back Time: Advice to My Younger Self//LOH #191

Hello my great and wonderful ladies of hive, I hope u had an amazing day today.

After going through the topic for this week, I kept reflecting and on my younger self, I kept pondering on what exactly I would have loved to change if I could turn back the hands of the clock. I finally discovered that if I am given the chance to impart guidance and wisdom to my younger self, there are several insights and recommendations I would share.

First and foremost I would love to play freely and maintain childhood friendships, this aspect might occur to you as something insignificant but I can tell from experience what I have been through because I neglected this while growing up.

When I was a younger I missed childhood fun and plays, I was not allowed to interact and play with other people even our neighbors so I used to remain indoors, my parents do not keep friends and so I was advised not to keep friends, I guess my parents were scared of me being influenced negatively by my peers.

So my childhood life revolved round the four walls of the house and I never had any younger or elder siblings to play with at home. Whenever I go to school that was the only slightest opportunity I had to talk and play with people around but in school we only had limited time to play.

I happen to grow up in a secluded environment and so I missed a lot of fun I would have had if I had the opportunity to make friends. This aspect has greatly affected me and I am still trying so hard to come out of it, because of my reserved nature I found it hard to socialize with people, I have always felt so lonely and it was difficult for me to make friends.

Aside this, I became so timid I did not have self-confidence and the boldness to even speak in front of my peers, I really wish I was able to have those childhood moments and friendships I guess I would have been much more better socially than I am.

Secondly if I am given the chance to impart guidance and wisdom to my younger self I would have given time to learning more skills. When I was younger, I felt I would have more time when I am older to learn more skills but now I discover that I had more opportunity while I was younger.

Though it is not too late to learn new skills but I still wished I could have done it then. As a medical student I barely have enough time to learn varieties of skills and I regret wasting away my time when I was younger.

Though I can not change back the hands of the clock to make things right but I still look forward to utilizing my time wisely and making the best use of it.

Oh it’s similar to what I would have told myself. I feel like it’s not too late, we can still find ways to incorporate them little by little in our lives

I was not allowed to interact and play with other people even our neighbors so I used to remain indoors, my parents do not keep friends and so I was advised not to keep friends, I guess my parents were scared of me being influenced negatively by my peers.

This happened to me as well, I was not allowed to keep friends and go out to play with kids in the neighborhood. That's why anti-social behavior developed inside me and I became homesick. I overcame my home-sick problem but my anti-social behavior couldn't change till now. I feel stressed and panic when I am in social events... I also want to give this same advice as yours to my young self.

Great explanation, thanks for your participation...
