[ WP ] Every ten years from age twenty until death , you from ten years earlier appears in your bedroom . You have five minutes to explain how to change your life before young you returns to the past .

At age 10: I would've encouraged myself to be more precocious -- I was reading at 3, I mean, come on, I could've mastered French and Spanish by 10 at least. Gosh, I just did n't have it together! ( LOL ) 
 At age 20: I would have encouraged myself to hurry and finish my Undergrad that year ( which would have made it happen in three years ) -- of course, that would have meant the foolish and prideful 17 y/o I was should have stayed in college the first time around, so that this conversation could have even taken place at 20. 
 At age 30: I would have told myself to not be so afraid of my truths, follow my heart, and care less about familial acceptance, and more about carving out my dreams for the future of my family. 
 Which would mean now... I would possibly have 2.5 kids, a successful significant other oozing with the arrogance of a self-proclaimed over achiever, a beautiful house, and a thriving law career. 
 My point? Life is n't perfect -- it is does not mold to how we have ideally sculpted it. But embrace your knocks. I was n't ready for the expectations of the norm at those tender ages, but surely, I am sharper, stronger, and wiser now.: )
