5 year old me would be tremendously shocked and disappointed that I grew up to become a pilot instead of my original plan of being a Great White Shark.
my past self would probably be dumbfounded that i had figured out time travel and used it to visit a mentally ill child instead of using it for personal gain
He would be surprised and angry I was still alive, and shocked that I, however briefly, actually had a partner. Something very unlikely and disappointing followed by a near impossibility, by past me’s metrics.
I think in some ways little kid me would be so stunned and impressed with all the awesome shit I’ve done in my life. The places I’ve seen, the people I’ve helped and the overall impact I’ve had in the world would blow little dudes mind entirely. At the same time though I think he’d be really struck by the overwhelming impact of depression and sadness, not a great vibe.
My younger self would be flabbergasted that of all the hobbies and things I could have done, Brazilian Jiujitsu is the thing I settled on getting “good” at as I start middle age.

We did get the life we thought we’d never have
How well we did.
I started in a village in Alaska with under 300 people where everyones future is about as bleak as you can imagine.
Moved out to never return, and now i have a good career, own my home, and have a built a loving family with an amazing woman
I stopped drinking.
He’d definitely be shocked by how much weight I’ve gained, but I can only hope that wouldn’t preclude us from having sex with each other.

Nothing, unfortunately.

How shit life is.
I’d make sure none of the bad shit that’s happened will happen. I’d 100% arm myself with knowledge so life is better
