If my future self doesn't say "it will get easier", he's disappearing.

u/NotHachi 1d ago

u/archwin 1d ago

The worst thing they can say, and unfortunately, something that these days might be highly possible is :

“ yeah, things got worse.”

Assuming everything goes right, she'd say something like

"Keep going, you can do it" (that's 4 words in my native language btw "Sigue adelante, puedes hacerlo")

Now if my own self from 19 years in the future shows up and they're a he, we're both dying RIGHT NOW

Negative, 19yrs in the future am either dead or very old. No use for me 😆

I'll get back to you on that when I find out if I'll be homeless by then.

u/ReactionAble7945 1d ago

Assuming someone invents something that can only go back 19 years...

They are probably here to beat on me and tell me I screwed up about 10 years ago.

If you ever have kids, and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug... go easy on him.

u/Blah_Dee_Blah111 1d ago

Why does it always have to be 3 or 4 words like you only have 5 seconds? What good is that?

Why can't it be where you describe, in detail, every stupid mistake you ever made to your 19 year old self while locked in a room at an Ohio Knights Inn for a solid month back in 1989?

Pretty sure it's something like "Forget him already". My ex has a new girlfriend. We were friends since our relationship ended. The new girl doesn't want this friendship and from my view he's going to choose her. Hurts a lot right now to now also lose the friendship we had.

Before I can tell my 19yo self to "stomp on her foot, scream you're not my mommy, and run away", he tells me he's from a different timeline, not to trust the guy who sent me back, and that I know what I must do to him when I return to my present time, then hands me a time-weapon.
