if, when you were 10 years old...

someone told you you would be where you are now and doing what you are doing now with your life, how would you have felt about it?

Ermm.. I don't know?
Random thread or what

I would ask for a go in their time machine.

PardonTheWait · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:11

Quite surprised, but not upset.

Actually now I think about it more, very relieved. Everything was ****ed as far as I could see when I was 16, I'd just been thrown out of school with no GCSEs.

Edit: 10 years old not 10 years ago... first comment only then.

Mortified.

I'd do things very differently.

Minxy · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:14

Excited in some ways, disappointed in others.

SoundsGood · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:16

Shocked.

Sildeh · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:17

Quite pleased.

Fenris · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:17

Probably not surprised but hardly thrilled.

MeatLoaf · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:18

I wouldnt be supised at all really, always expected heartbreak and thats what i got. Wouldnt have expected 4 kids tho

mame · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:18

I'd love to see where I will be at 40

Stewy · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:18

Sort of ok-ish, I know I've underachieved but I'm doing alright.

TheCrow · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:20

Its gona get how big?? SWEET!

I would be happy enough, sad that I would never get the grades to follow my dad. Happy that I done better than I could have ever expected academically.

TheCenturion · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:20

I'd think: meh, sounds about right

Podmonkey · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:24

Annoyed and would have done things differently. Still young and still toying with ideas so hope is not all lost.

id have probably got back on my skateboard and carried on looking kewl, having not understood what it would have meant or why you told me that.

if i was made to understand, if it was possible to explain what it would mean etc, then i would have tried a lot harder at school, kept different friends and generally tried not to be where i am now.

cm1179 · 29 Oct 2010 at 23:44

i think i would've worried about a lot less about the things i did. i look back at what i used to worry about at school and they are so non important but i used to fret about them and am convinced it sent me on the path i ended up on. i wouldn't say i'm not happy with where i am but i certainly don't think i made the most of the potential i had when i was 10
