A question I've been pondering

Would the 10 year old version of you be happy with the person you've become?
you can answer as well, its just a question thats been on my mind a lot the past couple years

Lets preface this with where I saw myself when I was 10... I imagined I would have gone to Harvard and studied Marine Biology - YES I KNOW that Harvard is not big on Marine Biology ( Read more... )

At 10 I was in 5th/6th grade, my best friends moved away, I needed and obtained glasses, sometime around then I broke my collar bone and had to sit out a summer season from hockey, prompting me to play video games, a hobby that has stuck.

I had already gotten over my depression by determining suicide was too selfish and that I had to wait until nobody cared about me (and I was in a situation that I was confident that my family did love me, despite their ineptitude).

I was expecting to go to college eventually but hadn't yet designed for what (soon to determine computers, which I did indeed do) or where (to this day I don't think college choice mattered much, I'm just glad I didn't make it through the in person interview for MIT, I would of hated it there).

I think I would be surprised I'm married, and that my online MUD project had fallen apart so abruptly my senior year in high school, as it was just starting then. I'd be amused that I went on to work a co-op with the guys who ran the server for the Subspace (PC game) zone I ran for a year. I would probably be disappointed in the sort of job I had settled on, but understand my decision after an explanation. I would probably be glad I have a dog.

I know your dog is glad to have you - so is your wife for that matter...Would your 10 year old you think I'm pretty?

10 year old me wasn't interested in girls because they were stupid. As were most boys, but they at least had some similar interests. That's part of why I would be surprised that I'm married. If I cared about that sort of stuff I would of liked you though.
