What IF #13:

What if you could talk/write a letter to your ten year old self?

"If I only knew then what I know now..." how many times have you uttered this phrase? I think we've all said it once, or at least thought it as we've grown older, wiser and more experienced. Well this week's What if prompt gives you the opportunity to impart some of that knowledge. What if you could write a letter to your ten year old self?

• What would you say?
• What would you hold back?

 What if you could talk to your ten year old self?

• What would you ask?
• How would you introduce yourself?

This prompt can be dealt with in a number of ways - you could answer some or all of these questions, or you can even take your virtual space to actually compose that letter to yourself.

Perhaps you don't believe in messing with the past, if that's the case, flip it around - what do you think would your ten year old self say/write to you if (s)he met you today?
