Yea same here, I get the message but off the mark for me.

Probably for a lot of people. The past 5 years have been shit in many different ways for many, many people.

Yeah when I read this, my mind immediately assumed the second part was gonna say “Just Kidding.” That cannot be good.

Right, he’d be unsurprised but definitely not proud

Nah. I was so much better off 5 years.

Not for me! I worked my way up from a small mobile game studio to one of the top AAA studios in the world in that time. Just gotta apply yourself. And trust me, I'm lazier than you.

No, they would not; in fact, 5 years ago I was at the brink of going down the path that would lead me to where I am today and had I forseen my current position I would have made some different choices. 5 years of my life. Gone. I can only hope they have prepared me for the 5 years that are to come, and that they will be better.

As someone who just got out of a 5 year beautiful relationship with someone that I wanted to spend my dying dies with, no, my past self would be scared

Fuck that guy, I'm like five years smarter than he is!
JoosyLuicer t1_j8fpj7n wrote
Proud? Nah they'd laugh at me (but keeping a straight face, to respect elders). Then they (I) would realise it's silly to take offence from myself, young-me would grab old-me's hat and run away knowing how slow and weak I am.
Still, maybe the effect is the same. I need to train more, to chase myself down.

This is the opposite of motivating.

If my life were actually better now then I wouldn't be on a motivation sub trying to get through each day. Bit of a paradox I guess

Nop, sadly. My life aince born was always a sliding down so it never "got better"
Blackrain1299 t1_j8i3v77 wrote
On the day of my birth i entered this world crying my eyes out. 25 years later its not much different
al3237 t1_j8ikd9a wrote
As someone who reached 25 last month, that was exactly the same for me lol. I never wished to be born and never consented to it, now the ones that made me act like i always wanted it and they had nothing to do with it. This is shit bro...
HeftySkirt617 t1_j8g9fcy wrote
Eh. I'm still exactly where I was 5 years ago... plus some medical debt that won't be paid off for another 9-18 years. Appreciate the meme but you gotta put more effort into it than that.
analogista t1_j8grlln wrote
This is one of those pseudo-motivations that will apply to some people and will decidedly NOT apply to many. In fact, it can be so perfectly wrong that I can imagine some people being positively discouraged by it. Geez, I hate these things when they do that.

In some areas, yes.

5 years ago I left a well paid job to start a business, that was doing very well. Last year I was forced to admit defeat and had to shut the business down, with a mountain of personally guaranteed debt due to covid. I lost my life savings plus the new debt and any chance of getting on the property ladder within the next 8 years.
I am not proud. I am broken.
Mathewdm423 t1_j8iv6i2 wrote
5 years ago was 2018. Just a reminder.
