It s a very interesting idea ... honestly I thought about what I would write to myself and realised it would be an epic because there are far too many things that I could have done to myself and others around me....

Nice idea!! many a times during the alone time, I keep visiting back in memory to fix things or change it. Looking back, I feel I acted stupidly or could have done better. This would really be therapeutic. I have a lot to write to my younger self, Innumerable suggestions for each happening

Why not add some of your own thoughts ?

Truly, there are a lot many things to write to my younger self but I will start with the one which I miss today so badly. To my dearest younger self, you were lucky to spend time with your lovely family when they were fully energetic and not dependent on others. My matured self has witnessed my loved one's fragile look which I detest. I want to be reminded of the strong, powerful yet affectionate parents and guardians on whom I was entirely dependent upon. My younger self knew on whom to rely and feel free while now it's all over which is a tragedy.  

When I look back I feel that I could have done a lot of things differently but that would have had repercussion s as well. So if I were to write a note for myself..

You had a great childhood, a wonderful father who was well ahead of his times which meant he gave you lots of freedom to express yourself. Sadly, you did not utilise it to the maximum..

Really, life is so strange. We all have something to say to our younger self. Usually, either it's about what we enjoyed during our childhood or about the missed opportunities.Why can't we achieve everything throughout our life? 

I recall reading somewhere that when we are young and have the strength , we do not have the necessary wisdom and insight to deal with a situation effectively and when we gain both we are either disinterested or too old to put it into practice.

With hindsight we could have done many things differently.  But did we do the best in given circumstances is what matters. Otherwise it is idle pass time.

I get reminded about a thing quite often. I always suffered from pain in my limbs and usually had severe headache in childhood and early young age. During that uneasiness I was not forced to bother about anything in regards to family and so on. Leave aside big medical issues even in minor discomfort there were many to look after me as well as they handled the usual family chores. Now, it's so different. I won't say my matrimonial family is not caring but still I cannot ignore my responsibilities. Thus, I would say to my younger self that, how fortunate she was! No worries as well as caring people were all around, was a blessing for her while at present it is full of worries and feel so answerable to everyone in the family.  

It is very essential for children to have a happy and secure childhood or else it creeps into their adult life. I know of several cases where adults have serious problems of adjustments and trusting because f the childhood trauma , mostly because of the unhappy atmosphere at home 

Even I think there is a great scope of improvement which was possible in case I had taken some good choices.

I think it is a great idea to do so, it is very therapeutic to do so. Psychologically it makes us feel happy to turn our real life past incidents atleast on paper to help us feel better & become more creative. On one side it makes us creative & on the other side it relieves our depression.

Very nice idea. I would just have told myself to not overthink and just do what i felt was right at the time.
