Ten Years Back...

Going back to the me of 10 years ago sounds like a scene out of a science fiction movie, a scene full of nostalgia and emotions. To go back to my 15 year old self would be to see that teenager I once was, inexperienced and fearful, it would be to change the plot of the next 10 years in the hope that they will be a little more interesting and better lived.

The first advice I would give me would be to never stop being myself, to value the authenticity of your thoughts and base your actions on them, to stop being overwhelmed by wanting to belong to certain groups just because you want to be accepted and fear their rejection. I would tell him to study with passion, to prioritize his intellect and develop skills in activities he is passionate about, such as music.

I would advise him to make the most of every minute, every second with his loved ones and friends and create even more unforgettable memories and experiences. I would ask him to be patient and to be aware that every stone on the road is only an obstacle that would make him stronger, and that each person has his own path and process, that it would be unhealthy to want to compare himself and act the same as others in front of these same stones.

I would warn him of bad habits, of the importance of maintaining good physical and mental health, and how these are strongly related and the great value they have. I would ask him to be curious, open and above all to take advantage of every opportunity and not to wait for everything to happen out of nowhere, to take action and be more decisive in any situation.

I would advise him to continue to be a good person and a better human being, but most of all I would tell him that I am very proud of who he was and who he became.

Thank you very much.
