My 10 years old self would not believe the current state of dating and distrust among people in general. Erich Fromm described it in 1952, but in Europe it arrived much later.
Also the lack of attention caused by smartphone and the almost disappearance of casual conversations on the bus, the train, etc. Sometimes people is afraid of casual conversations with strangers.
That we voluntarily face our lifelong fear of needles once a week so that we can be a girl. Yes we basically just shoot up pure cooties all the time, yes it's extremely worth it.
AI is definitely at the top of my list. I didn't think it would have ever come sooner at my lifetime.
And sorry to humblebrag, but I'm not doing too bad with my investing. I just wished I knew more about it ten years ago and I would not be stuck in a bad company!

That I’m in fact NOT dead and she should probably plan for that.
Being a few months from 40 when you were told by all your doctors you won’t make it past 18 has made things very complicated and difficult

Came here to say: divorced
My Catholic mother always talked about divorce like it was one notch short of theft or larceny. Yet it was key to regaining joy in my life
