A deep conversation with younger (teen) me!
<div class="text-justify">

### [Older me:]()
Hello, younger me, why do you knock like police? Come in sweetheart and seat next to me.

Missy where should I start? I will skip our Preadolescence (9-12yrs) because it's not your fault that "common sense" was not yet common to you. You used to think that you were smart enough to outsmart common sense.

I want us to focus on our teens' days because that's when all your loose screws and gullibility started contributing to who we are today. Even though I love this crazy life you turned out to be I still wish it was a smooth ride for you. 

Do you remember the day that Ms Snyman asked you to help carry her books to her desk and was telling you how she miss her teen days? Ms Smarty pants you laughed at her and gave her that look that says "Duh" like she just said something silly. 

As if that was not dumb enough you replied with an attitude and say: *" sorry mam, but I can't wait to turn 25, make my own money, and my own rules"*.

>*Missy which rules?- did you mean skipping meals and not eating your vegetables because you can't afford them? The truth is your older version is broke and can't even meet your daily nutritional requirements. And you barely have home-cooked meals claiming not to have time to cook. The reality is you are trying to save money by not cooking daily to reduce your utility bill.*

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/humbe/23swpQYWg16GyGAvSW2dJTPyxhoaxLT2ydmfJgaQaL5GoHAKr6EbtfTtxkjRD6nzddVJn.png)

Now, do you remember those days when mom will prepare dinner and you would frown and rant that food tested like card box? Let alone sometimes they had to scare you with a rod to finish your food and not to waste it? Well, little Missy's life hasn't even gotten better for you. 

The hardship is real, the big guy "inflation" is now making you feast on a humble pie and he detects to you what to eat through your wallet. You should see how rare you even get to eat a nutrient balance home-cooked meal. 

I don't think your system can even tell any difference between breakfast, lunch, and dinner now. You now appreciate watching the news- the slot you used to think is for old people. Yep, you now follow the latest economic news hoping you will wake up to some magic that will stop Rand (ZAR) from depreciating against the US dollar.

Well as if complaining about food was not enough your tiny mouth dared to also complain about your parents being too strict with house rules, remember that? 

Silly you, well guess what? You are now a big baby to your landlord who detects you through tenants' rules and can kick your behind out to the street any day if you mess up. 

At least for our parents, you were still their responsibility, and they were legally bound to host you until 18 or support you through school until 21. But the landlord means business ohh and it will just take a seven-day notice to evict you.

Okay, missy what about all those days spent crushing on "them bad boys" and calling the smart ones the weirdo or nerds? Silly child, you even had a crush on Vegeta from Dragon ball Z. A whole arrogant and egoistic cartoon while there was an option for Goku or older Gohan. The witch that got you this delusional must have a PhD in WITCHology.

Anyways, guess what Mbembe? Most of those bad bully boys' you used to think were cool, all they knew back then was to treat little girls like hearts don't break. Iyooh! Adult life jerked a knot in their butts and not all of them managed to figure out the best version of themselves.

That boy you used to call "dodo bird" (-*an extinct bird popularly thought to be stupid*) and would call him Shrek and his girlfriend Fiona. Remember the whole class laughed at his speech when he said "*when he grows up he wants to be a businessman"* and Fiona was the only one who clapped hands for him? It turns out his dad invested in Bitcoin when the price was $0.40 per bitcoin in 2010. 

When Bitcoin was at an all-time high of nearly $69,000 in November 2021, "dodo bird" joined his dad in diversifying their investment into properties, crypto, and equity/shares. His bank account is now more than all of his classmates, their relatives and their neighbours combined. 

He lives with his high school sweetheart in a glass mansion. They indeed transformed into a prince and princess. The wheels have turned and I WILL leave it up to you to figure out who is the Ogre now.

#### Before we part do you have anything to say to the future you who is me now?

### [Younger me:]()
Why such a long speech? Is that what they call "life will humble you syndrome"? Mam, based on what you just told me now you are broke compared to who I wanted to be when I grow up. 

How do you expect me to trust your advice if it didn't work for you? I had a plan written in my journal that by 25yrs I would be rich. In all these stories you didn't follow the plan even after 25 years. You couldn't even buy Bitcoin yourself but you were busy torturing my brain learning useless x + y= z! You can't be me, bye Ogre!

### [Older me:]()
Well, it seems like you will never learn. I was hoping you will be one step ahead and change some things to get the most out of life! Let's meet again after a decade maybe by then you will have some common sense. Close the door behind you mxm snot face!

Haha what a stubborn younger you that you were. Well, it would have been magical if you could change the younger you by giving those advices.

Nicely written by the way, I feel like I have some words for my younger self as well πŸ₯² but I know she'll definitely not listen lol

The younger me was gullible and indeed stubborn in this case. Not willing to take my advice on how real life works. Lol.

Thank you😊!
You should give it a shot and have a conversation with your younger version she might listen! You will never know unless you try.πŸ˜…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Merit🌺🌟

You made me remember those moments too. I remember thinking the news is for the old people but today, everyone watches the news to be updated on our fucking country. I also remembered not eating my meal because mommy refused to add meat to my food. I formed the senior when it comes to food to my siblings and would act as a junior when it comes to house chores. Lol
Thanks for taking me back to memories.

Adult life is not easy. We now have to carry all the country's problems on our shoulders in addition to our problems. 

As for food, elders would add all other staff to kids' plates but put a small piece of meat and we were instructed not to start eating that small meat first.🀭

When it comes to house chores, I also hated them, especially doing dishes. 

Thanks for stopping by Princess😊🌺!
