This is a juicy idea, best of luck on its development! To answer your question, my younger self would be appalled at the things I’ve been through, wary of me for what I’ve done, but also proud of me for surviving & thriving in my circumstances. I was an articulate kid & I can likely hold a conversation with my past self using my current vocabulary, the conversation would likely be side-by-side & during parallel play, not face to face.
I think my younger self would be proud but sad. I’ve done a lot that I can be proud of and fought to be where I am and be as happy as I have been, but she would be sad to know what it took to get here and I know she would’ve wished a different future for me. I really like this question! It’s something I think about a lot and my mindset for the past few years has been to do what I can to become someone little me would’ve been proud of and I think I’ve achieved that, for the most part.
