Would you impress the 16 year old you?

[The Dude]

I thought about this today thinking about some off my old high school friends. Back then everyone knew they would grow up to be a millionaire. I was a little more grounded in that respect even though I was a spoon fed Moma's boy that got whatever I wanted. I had a supercharged 96 Z28 at 18 and that was before I had ever paid for anything or even had a credit card (unless you count my Mommy's). Honestly I can say I think the 16 year old me would be pretty impressed. I can say that confidently since I have the mindset of a 17 year old at times.

Good question. I think I would totally impress my 16 yr old self. I was the cute shy girl next door type. I was never into makeup, dating or name brand clothes (my parents had it easy with me). In fact my family thought I was gay, lol... Around 16 is when weight training was introduced to me and I fell in love instantly. Didn't have a clue as to what I was doing, but it was my new passion. I wanted to look feminine, but with muscle! Thanks to my hubby (who I think my 16 yr old self would approve of) he's got me well on my way to reaching new goals. I'm still that girl next door, but my inner sex kitten comes out to play when the times right. Now if my 16 yr old self knew I was currently taking lap dance classes and pole fitness...she'd probably be scared of that one : ) Needless to say, I came out of my shell.

oh Dude,for sure!!!im in a place right now i thought id never be. i have a damn good career, i make really good money. im bigger and better looking than i thought id ever be. when i was 16, i looked like the hunch back a nodre dame LOL...not that crazy but thats how i felt about my self.
in high school we all thought the guy that could bench 315 was a God....my max bench in high school was i thing 185 LOL. so yea ive come a long way. i never thought id make it to over a 400 pound bench press, doesnt seem real some times how far ive come, i dont let my self get big headed about it. cause i know what its like to be on the other side a things only to well.

I don't get it.. Lol.. Is it if I was 16 and saw me now would I dream to be me? My answer . Hell no.. Too much to explain than space here allows.. Glad some people got it going on. I was one of 8 kids in a small town of 1000.. I had a chevy luv w/ 4 squirrel engine..

 

[LeatherHead]

I would say yes. First of all, just my toys alone would make me dream to be me... Car, bike, guns, hot wife (at least for now) and a very decent physical stature. I'm still very young at heart, and like to enjoy life. I'm sure the The Dude and CH3NO2 could attest, I'm not THAT bad of a guy.

I don't think so as far as what I've accomplished in life, but as far as my physique goes, yes

The better question would be, if you could tell your 16 year self something, what would it be?

No. I was hard on myself then than I am now. I would say, "you were suppose to be president by now."

If I would tell myself something........??????????????????

Stay Away From Peurto Rican Women! Thats what I would tell my younger self! I hated my wife for a few years,lmao. Everythings peaches now, but damn it was the most stressful time in my life early on with her! Spanish women are simply fucking crazy

lol is that an agreement or disagreement,lol

 

[Presser]

oh and to the original question, at 16 i knew where i would be and knew i would look the way i do, but at 11 or 12 years old then yeah i would shit myself back then if i could see my future self

 

[Ox 51]

Well, at 16 I thought I would look like Arnold Schwarzenegger one day. So, from that aspect, I'd be very disappointed. But, all in all, I think I would be content knowing that I would one day be where I am today.

lol is that an agreement or disagreement,lol

I don't want to be culpable of anything in case Cindee stops by. Mumms the word lol

meh...I'm doing pretty well for myself now, but my physique could always be better, and I wish I saved more money. I'm not exactly proud of my life journey thus far, but I guess its not where we've been, but where we end up. I'm hoping to make up for all the screw ups in my life and if I could tell my younger self one thing it would be to steer clear of trouble, shitty women, and partying and focus on the long term goals career, school, and good women.

Totally agree.

The thing for me would be slutty women, not shitty women

I used to think the same way, but then I wonder if I'd be where I am if it weren't for all of that garbage. In all truth I would not be. There was a point in all of the garbage I went through that led me to the next point. If any of those experiences would have been missed my life would be very different and I never would have met my wife. That realization has helped me deal with my sometimes unbearable anxiety. I'm proud to say that I've been off of Valium for nearly 6 months and I haven't taken a single attivan in 3 days. It doesn't sound like much, but it's huge for me.

I know what you're dealing with, I've never been put on meds for anxiety, but I certainly could use it. And it's all because of my past that's created my anxiety and panic attacks. I do regret the things I've done to some extent, but the result of these actions have made me who I am today both good and bad. I have grown up a lot because of these actions, but they've also made me hate nearly everyone that I'm not close to which makes me seem very anti-social at times
