If you could meet yourself at the age of ten, what would you tell him/her?

I don't know what I would say. This scenario always makes me start crying. Life has been pretty rough for me, and I feel exhausted. I miss those younger days, when I had dreams and confidence. I guess I would tell him to cherish that, hold to it as long as you can. Don't give up on finding happiness.

I'd tell her what social services is and how to call and that she would need it and should use it when she would need it in a couple years time. That she would know when it was bad enough to need outside help. And I would tell her that she can't shoulder all the responsibility, that I can't save or change someone who is abusive. That I won't be able to protect myself. And that I shouldn't keep some secrets, and what abuse is... and that It's not my fault.
