Add on the climb of bitcoin and thats pretty much it.
If I could go back about 20 years?
Mood
2017ish
Either an egg meme or a neurodivergence meme. Or both in one. Preferably with the word 'non-binary' in it so that I'm exposed to that concept young. Then hopefully I'd get a clue and live my best life before that life turns into a dark tunnel where the only light ahead is an oncoming train.
Tempted to send it to my 5 year old self before starting primary school. But I mean, 5 year old me wouldn't get it. I could send it to 12 year old me before high school but then I'd still get sent to boarding school in a religious conservative shit hole town and probably feel even more trapped there armed with knowledge of who I really am.
So I'm gonna send to my 16 year old self. Second to last year of school when I was already done with this shit and just before starting my adult life.
I got diagnosed ADHD at 6, but never for the autism. Figured out I was enby around age 11 but I tried to tell myself it was just a fantasy and lived in envy of trans women, then almost 20 years went by before research started to show that hormone therapy is good for non-binary folks too.
I'd send this to myself at age 19, when I finally had enough freedom to start experimenting.
I didn't even know that "non-binary" was a thing until later in life. I knew that I wasn't like the boys but we wore uniforms and had to have gender specific haircuts and were all seperated and categorised, so it's not like I was spending all my time with the girls either. I just thought I was a weirdo that hated sports and stupid immature behaviour, who preferred reading fantasy and sci-fi books alone.
And I still didn't even know that it was a thing for years after school. We're kinda progressive in my country but probably still at least 10 years behind the first world in that regard. So it's something that I was just never exposed to. When I finally did sit down and do some homework about it, it felt like I had finally found the picture to use as reference to put the puzzle of my life together, if that makes sense. Before that, I was just building the puzzle blind and not doing a very good job at it. So many things in my life would've made more sense or been easier (and I would've made better decisions along the way too) if I had only known who I was.
This meme might've done the trick for me lol. Still gonna go with 16 though because that's the age I started sneaking out on weekends to go to the alternative club. I think that if I had a clue back then and wasn't still in denial, I would've done everything better, especially relationships with people.
A meme with a bitcoin graph of the last ten years with an arrow pointing to “buy $1000 worth here” when bitcoin was still at around a dollar or so.
That was exactly what I was thinking
Probably something about how Bitcoin being worth $60,000 in the future.
I had a chance to buy a thousand btc for a hundred bucks and I passed on it because I needed the $100 at that moment.
I know realistically that I would have sold it once it became worth a dollar and counted myself super lucky, but then I'd be sitting here complaining man if only I had known it would be worth so much.
Some meme about how you can't chose your first family but how you can chose friends, probably to my 15 years old self.
Something about investing in bitcoin back in 2012.
Not a meme I guess, but I'd send it probably every day from the day I turned... Idk, 16?
Probably one vaguely alluding to the insane things that are happening in the world right now just to keep her on her toes.
Some ADHD meme so I wouldn’t suffer until 40 to get on meds
A pic of a news article about current events, to every computer and television and phone and printer in the year 2005. Just because i'm sending it to me doesn't mean i can't warn everyone else at the same time.
Either an ADHD meme to ~13 year old me, or something that says you are gay but in a much more relatable and eye opening way.
just me. probably one about how its so funny the lottery numbers for the record setting jackpot are always the numbers I look up for a week before it was actually won.
