💭 Thought Experiments🗣️ discuss

Imagine you could go back in time when you were 10 years old but retained all your current memories. How differently would you live your life with that knowledge?

Given that I currently work as a full stack web developer I would not have done my Masters in Mathematics. I would have chose Computer Science. And I would have only given 1 or 2 attempts for UPSC. I really would have missed the amazing time that I had during my Masters and I would have totally missed my friends from college but this academic thing is the only thing I would have changed with regards to my life.

My current professional life would have been simpler. I would not have wasted my precious youth in UPSC preparation so I would have lived a little more happening life during those years of prep.

Everything else in my personal life I really wouldn't change. I just would have understood why people were behaving the way they were behaving and changed my expectations accordingly.

What would you do differently?

I would have given up on perfectionist attitude and made myself learn that average is good.. average is enough... I am enough and not everything has to be perfect in order to be good... nothing in the external world is a parameter or proof of my self worth... Everyone shines through the light of universe and we are made of same stuff as that of stardust... we are not here to prove anything, just to enjoy whatever fleeting lifetime we have got, to exist not to win but to be here, present in all senses and experience pure joy without the hesitation or calculating your worth every single time...

Damn that's good. I highly relate. So many times I simply didn't do anything at all because I couldn't reach perfectionism.
I am literally 21 and i just want to go back in my childhood 🥺
