I just had a moment where I wanted to take a photo and send it back in time to my teenage self.

I'd write on the back "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Eventually you'll get to do this."

Sounds like a good meme: "Five photographs of yourself (from FB or whatever) you'd send back in time to you at fourteen."

Whenever people talk about sending stuff back to their teenage selve, I want to skip all the sentimental stuff. Lots of adults were trying to tell me more or less exactly what I'd want to include. I'm sure I'd pay no more attention to my future self than I did to the other well-meaning middle-aged folk. I was a teenager!

Much better to send something practically useful like a couple of sets of winning lottery numbers or the timing of the dotcom and housing/property/real-estate bubbles.

Yeah, but we're talking actual photos of yourself doing cool stuff here. Also, it's fantasy.

Was a meerkat costume involved?

I'd send my 14-year-old self a photo of my boobs and my bra size. She'd be happy.

Roy "Does daisyflip have nice boobs?'
Jackie "Errr you saw her several times this weekend, you tell me"

Daisyflip had nothing, like NOTHING at 14. Daisyflip is happy with handfuls.

Well I had nothing at 14 either!!! Motherhood played a heavy part in my boobage!

If you sent those sort of photos to your teenage self, you'd get arrested!!

I've no doubt my 19 year old self would be impressed by a photo of me playing Quake... but in a browser. ;)

I'm happier now, certainly, but I don't know if a photo would be persuasive. It'd be nice to send back blackmail-worthy photos of everyone else, though.
