The Lessons Only Time Can Teach

Daily writing prompt
What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?


To be honest, I don’t think I would even bother offering any advice to my 20-year-old self. He wouldn’t listen anyway because he was an arrogant, selfish, self-entitled fool. He’ll have to learn as he grows older, and that’s the only way he’ll be able to see things clearly.

  1. He sounds like most 20 year olds haha I grew up fast, so at 20 it felt like a lifetime for me. Time is sometimes the only lesson that can teach us what we really need to learn. I’d like to think it helped YOU and I both 🙂

  2. Aww. Don’t be so hard one yourself. I CRINGE to recollect the utterly immature dummy I once was. I still have a long way to go, but do believe I’ve gradually grown as a human being and hope to leave the world just the teensiest bit better off than worse off. Love you.
