This tweet by Genderlog India got a lot of Indians thinking today
So this morning, I want to ask you - what would you tell your younger self, if you could meet him/her today?
The responses to it were utterly heartwarming, funny, and reflective.
You're not half as good as you think you are and the sooner you quit being an entitled jerk, the better. https://t.co/uRhoNfgzoJ
Everybody is winging it... even that very cool person who seems to have it together. https://t.co/4GscwSkeSu
Eat healthier, work harder, ask for help more often, learn more languages, don't quit singing and write more often. https://t.co/OPzxxAjwI3
Give less of a fuck about what people think of you. Be less afraid of the future. Write shit down. https://t.co/pOSGMzkewj

Do not take everything personally. Have integrity. Cultivate patience. You are your best friend. https://t.co/Afe3lgkUgX
Also, when your friend tells you "do not message that dickhead back, ever" , listen to her. @gargneha @genderlogindia
Don't hesitate to challenge preset notions. Ask ques, test boundaries, define your own & yet, be rational & rooted. https://t.co/qyUgl7RJgb
Thank you, for fighting back against sexual&mental harassment. If you hadn't, I'd still be oppressed. https://t.co/jL8Yqdxsaq
@genderlogindia That I am worthy of being loved completely as I am - if someone finds fault with every aspect of me, the fault is not in me.
Never stop learning. You'll become confident in time. Keep writing. And never say no to pizza. https://t.co/03vdpLNWpB
Your body cannot limitlessly endure the shit you put it through; be gentle with yourself. https://t.co/sDO2vREx6D
@genderlogindia so much 'well meaning advice' comes with an agenda. parse it like your life depends on it. (it does.)
You'll never figure things out and that'd be ok https://t.co/NJeJevwrvN
Stay a kid. It's ok. Not to know. Not to win. Not to succeed. Stay happy. Colour. Dream. Play. Sleep. https://t.co/RLy0EcdpjW
