What would your past self think of your current self?

Question as in the title/poll -- let's say your past self from five years ago

When you get to my age five years isn't that big of a deal so I'd probably just give myself a thumbs up for writing a book.

Current self and past self would probably think that being dead would be better.

5 years ago?
Younger Me: "Why you not dead? The antivax conspiracy theorist that harassed our work place every day for 4 straight weeks with death threats until he got arrested, promised us we'll be dead! He promised the vax will kill us all!

And If the vax didnt kill us, He promise that he and his friend will round us up for adhering to ministry of health advice and be put on trial and be executed! Why are we still alive?!? "

My past self would gaze upon my current self and laugh the laugh of the abyss. The same abyss that once gazed back but found nothing new to consume. What is time but the eternal recurrence of the same?

I am but the reification of my own becoming, the will to power wrapped in the same flesh, burdened by the same questions, and yet laughing, always laughing, at the absurdity of expecting transformation when existence itself is but a wheel spinning upon the void.

I didn't think I'd achieve even half of what I have by now I thought it would take at least another decade or so... what I am most proud of is getting to the point where I only need one pill a day for depression which is leagues better than what I was like 5 years ago when I needed 10+ pills a day morning and night or I'd have a mental breakdown, be tormented by my chronic migraines or more likely both at the same time and while I still have chronic migraines I don't need special medication for it now... This is something most in the same situation might be able to accomplish in a life time as I started needing medications for my sanity and chronic migraines at the age of 2 so it has taken me 19 years of effort to achieve the point where I have only one pill left I need to get off of and according to my calculations as long as my plans go well I'll be off it by February next year-nya.

My past self would be disappointed and also astonished I'm still alive.

My younger self would be amazed I made it past grade 10 (prior to that I just couldn't imagine what life was like after that) but otherwise would be neutral.
