Cleavage. Which I did not have until pregnancy/BFing and carrying a bit of extra weight. Younger self would not be horrified (she would be pretty stoked, actually!), but she would definitely be shocked.
Perspective. My younger self would be shocked to find out she didn’t know shit about shit.
A little different but kind of the same. I used to roll my eyes so hard at my parents when they’d say how fast time flies. Now I totally get it. How the hell is it almost November!?

A husband, a house in the suburbs, backpacking gear, callouses from lifting weights, memberships to REI and a gym, 50 extra pounds, and sometimes I sniss (and I don't even have kids).
Crackling knees A bad neck Debt An ex-H Gray hairs A chin hair Skin tags A younger sister who is an RN (in my head she's like 12 and I still have trouble with her being a medical professional, lol) A tattoo
I thought I knew what I wanted when I was younger and had goals to feel successful so some of these would be crushing/horrifying to my younger self.
-No gaming console -Living in another country and not knowing the language -Arthritis -Gray hair at 32 -No career developed, being a SAHM -No degree and still being a student -Not being associated with the medical field (major changed) -Autoimmune diseases -Back and knee pain -Not drinking alcohol -No house/roots -Living away from family
A husband who isn't in a creative profession and who doesn't have luxurious hair (like, he shaves his head and started at 18 because managing his curly hair seemed like a hassle). That was SO my type.
A job I specifically sought out because it has LESS travel than my former job.
A nightlife that in no way involves weekly concerts. I get annoyed now if I go out for a meal and there happens to be live music. Lol.
A flat stomach I have bikes, not horses (working on correcting that next year partially) An ex-husband Leaving he house and not wearing makeup or rarely wearing it ever unless I'm going out or it's professional photo day at work.
Spanx. Minivan. Glasses for night driving. A VERY large bottle of ibuprofen. A VERY large bottle of Tums. A bag just like the one I mocked my mother over for years. Huge, and with everything you could possibly need. Wet wipes? Check. Chewing gum? Check. Six kinds of lip product? Check. Spare buttons, tiny screwdriver, bandages, crayons, and a small collection of restaurant toys? Check, check, check, check, check. Crippling anxiety.
A preference for staying home rather than going out A preferred parking area at my regular stores Way too much take out (I figured I’d have a pretty set routine of favorite family meals) Only one child
