I know this is a pretty common question but I've never asked anyone this. I've been asked like a million times and I never have an answer. Or at least, I don't want to think about it because it won't achieve anything. Plus I feel my answer is a negative one. Like "Life is going to be hard!" It's how I feel now so....
So I will ask all of you wonderful MyLotters.
If you could go back in time as the age you are now, to speak to yourself as a child, what would you tell him/her?

I wish I knew how much I was really loved, I wish I knew how much God thought of me then! I felt so unloved all of my childhood and had no idea of HIS love and how amazing it is. =) I would have had a much happier childhood if I knew of my Father in Heaven. So...I would be the one to tell my little self how amazing God thinks I am and how beautiful and loved I am.

@VivaLaDani13 It is truly okay, but thank you! =) Because of how I felt most of my life I have found the most amazing love ever!! 
His love is better than any other love on Earth.

That was a beautiful answer but it made me sad to know how you used to feel. I'm so sorry for that!

I would tell my younger self, "Stop being shy and go talk to the girl. If you ask her out, she will say yes!"

@VivaLaDani13 It's nice because now I don't need liquid encouragement anymore. Experience has taught me that you just need to go up and initiate a conversation.

@Shiva49 Great thing to say! I'm sorry you felt that way when you were younger. Sadly many can feel like this. Some learn this advice eventually while some never learn at all.

I would tell my child self to not be so naive and trusting of others. Protect your heart because kid! you are a sensitive child. And be rebellious!

@Daljinder I think that's why I have flipped a little with my life. I always did what I was told even if I really didn't want to. Nowadays I do what I want. Not in a mean way. But if I don't want to do something then I speak up more about it.

Well if it happens then I will tell him/her that I wish I fall to someone that I really dream to be my lifetime partner.
