What would the old version or you say to the new version of you? 2 months, 3 weeks ago If I Warned Me
Lorinda BoyerIf I Warned Me
If I warn of heartbreak
What risks will I take?
If I warn of vulnerability,
I’ll then conceal what others see.
If I warn of uncertainty,
Will I, too timid, ever be?
I’ll choose to live in mystery
Betwixt the fiery sparks that flee
In the rhythm of life’s spontaneity
Sans warnings from the likes of me100%

Well said, if we knew all the troubles ahead and avoid them, would that be living at all?

I really like this take on the contest. If your past self knew what to expect and knew what to avoid, you wouldn’t be as wise as you are today. The knowledge you have now has been acquired through past hardships, and you wouldn’t be the same without them! Great work ☻
