what would you do if you suddenly woke up as your 10-year-old self again, and kept your memories?

this is the hypothetical I think the most often about. I'd imagine this to be like a you-have-to-relive-your-whole-life-again sort of thing, not like Life is Strange where you skip everything after you did what you had to do lmao

everything below is extremely personal to just me and my own life but you can comment your own answer and yap as much as u like ^^

realistically, I'd have to take a long time to fully adjust to my body again, in more ways than one. on one hand, it's like I switched bodies with someone way smaller overnight, which is really weird on its own. secondly I'd have to live with being a girl again and suck it up for probably a good while (🏳️‍⚧️)

I'd really hope I wasn't sent back to a schoolday or it was summer vacation because otherwise I'd be so screwed lol, I wouldn't even remember where my classroom is or the material we're learning about.

other than that, I'd spend a week or so exploring the entirety of my old house, both to re-memorize my surroundings to appear more natural and to reminiscence.

After that, if I didn't come back by now I'd be like fuckkkkkk and get a journal to write down EVERYTHING that I can possibly remember about what's now the "future"


What would SUCK

• all of my monster high dolls (and toys in general) would sit there and gather dust, since I have my adult mind and wouldn't really have a sense of play anymore. it'd just be sad. my mom made me a whole dollhouse too with different floors :(

• not just slang, but the way we use regular words is so different now compared to back then. and humor was so different and not irony-layered like nowadays. I don't know how well I would be able to readjust, unlearning current language and relearning the past one. in school I'd probably be marked as a really weird kid in a not good way because of this

• I'd lose all the freedom I had of being an adult

• I'd be constantly waiting for every newer thing that I like now to come out, but the only thing where this is a huge deal is genshin ngl

• having to deal with the oppressing nature of the american education system all over again

What would be AWESOME

• having my dogs again :3

• my backyard was soooo huge..... and there was a forest right next to it. I'd have a blast exploring that

• I can skip my mistake of ever dating men. and getting stuck with one for 4 years

• overall having the hindsight of what goes wrong and what goes right in the future and acting according to it, though I think I'd be a bit nervous to change too much

chronically online shit below

• around this age I started roleplaying on twitter in the yandere simulator fandom. I'd totally do that all over again EXCEPT I'd actually be literate this time. and not a child who annoyed EVERYONE. plus seeing twitter be twitter again altogether would be amazing

• I'd really get ahead of the game in MMD. with all of my current knowledge and 3d experience I could possibly be on a DrasiSw level of popularity with the models I'd make lol

• pre-eclipse deviantart. that's all.

• I'd steer clear of all the youtubers and influencers who turned out to be freakazoids in the future lmfao
•
