      I would tell 10 year old myself to never stop believing in myself, that bad things might happen but overcoming these bad things will feel like ‘levelling up’ in the game of life. I will tell her to not take anything, good, or bad, for granted. I’d probably tell her to quit Orkut sooner and stay away from Facebook, but probably that would change the timeline too much. 🙂
      Any fan of time travel adventures and all Whovians (also fans of Flash from the DC comics) know what a dangerous thing it is to mess with our past selves, right?

      I would tell my 10 year old self to continue being the stubborn little thing she was and lose the ‘friends’ that tried to make her think less of herself. I would tell her that she shouldn’t care about people who clearly didn’t care for her, and that there are great friends waiting for her in the future. Basically I would tell her to be herself, because I’m really proud of that little girl with glasses and braces and ‘nerdy’ grades, she did good. One more thing, I’d probably tell her to stop letting her mum convince her that a ‘short bob’ haircut was the way to go, it really wasn’t!

      Always look for opportunities when they make themselves available, and always be willing to work hard! I’d probably also say that it’s really not worth getting upset about my bullies in primary school, since I’ll never see them again once I leave primary school.
