Suggested by Shaker summerwing: If you could go back in time and talk to your ten-year-old self, what would you say? How do you think the entire conversation would go?
I would say: "There are going to be some tough times ahead, but I promise you that you're going to be okay."
I imagine my 10-year-old self would react pretty much the same as I would now if my 60-year-old self suddenly showed up to have a chat: "WTF? OMG. LOL! And zounds! But, you know, awesome. Totally awesome."
And we'd marvel that I apparently never grow out of spilling soup on my shirt.
