#askswell | you were sitting with little you because you went back in time what would you tell yourself?
And things might, of course, be different when you get back to the future. But right now, you've gone back to the past and you found Little You, what would you say? I'll go first. I would tell her to be more fiscally responsible, make sure that she saves some money in a savings account for herself so that when she gets older, she'll have that money

It. Hi, Evelyn. So little. Little me in this case is ten year old me. That's the age that stuck out to me when I was listening. So if I can go back to ten year old Angie, I would tell her you're beautiful. Don't believe the lies. Or rather, stop believing the lies that tell you that you're not. And I will. Then tell her you are loved deeply by God and he created you for a reason

The mistakes will help your future because you'll be able to look back at them and see the lessons. You have to allow people to love you the way that they're capable of loving you. But if that love is not enough, that doesn't make you a needy person and make them a bad person. You can still accept the love that they give, but just know that if it's not all the love that you need, that's okay. You'll eventually love yourself enough

Has someone explained to me that I needed to love myself for who I was and that, like you said, that I'm enough would have changed the trajectory of my life? I'm so grateful you shared this. Somebody else needed to hear it today. I hope they're listening, because you are enough. You're such a good person. And I'm just grateful. Thank you so much, Ms. Andrea

Thank you for sharing that with me. You know, that's the importance of raising children, what you just said. I can give my daughters clothes and things, material things. But the one thing that I always wanted to instill in them was, I love you for just who you are. You're beautiful. Don't let anybody ever tell you you're not beautiful, that they were awesome in every way and that when they grow up, they need to take that with them

But one of the activities I've done with kids is they'll come to the front of the class, we'll put a piece of paper on the desk, and everyone else in the class comes up and writes something great about that student. And then they each get to go home with a piece of paper that has all kinds of beautiful words of encouragement and affirmations. You're beautiful, you're smart, you're funny. I like being in class with you. And they get to have that

This generation is going to do great things for God, I believe that. But first of all, they have to have it instilled in their heart and their mind and the word over and over in repetition. So thank you so much

Hi, Evelyn. I would tell my little me that's me, if you look at my profile pic, that I love her. I love her immensely. And that she's the best child, one of the most best sincere daughter had had the most best committed partner. But my advice to her would be to not be so naive and save something for herself, take care of herself, give herself the first priority than the whole world and believe in the immense abilities and skills that she hold

We need to pour more into ourselves. We need to give more to ourselves, and then we need to allow ourselves more grace. Because I am my worst critic. I really, really am. And I'm very hard on myself. But, yes, I agree, that would be the best advice. And thank you so much for chiming in. I really appreciate it

If I could go back, I tell him that I was what I needed when I had me. And I never needed to feel like I needed anybody else because everything that I needed came from the person I still cry to to this day. If I could go back, I go back and tell myself that keep on going, keep on loving, keep your heart open, keep your forgiveness sharp, keep your empathy on point, keep you nurtured and continue

Man, I wish we could do this, truly. But this is the best one I heard so far. Because so many people, if they had the choice, they would go back. And I believe in my heart of hearts, we would all encourage each other. But this right here, sir, has encouraged someone else today. If whoever is listening to this, because sometimes people listen, they don't always comment, but they listen. This is going to help somebody else
