I think my old self will want my younger self to have had done lots of things I don't want to do now.

Future me can suck it. I'll be selfish in the moment.

This is like watching videos of old folks saying: "I wish I took better care of my teeth". Right, cause thats what matters a lot to you now.

The lesson to be learned is that what you want from life changes. You shouldn't prioritize the needs of a future version of you.



When you get old you realize that none of it matters. You can't take those experiences with you, just as you cannot take money with you.


If you don't take care of your teeth, it might matter a lot to you very quickly and pain is a good instructor.


>Future me can suck it.

So...You will suck it ?


i understand it's missing the point of your comment, but teeth affect quality of life so much that it's really ill-advised to neglect them
