If I could go back in time I would look at who I was about to text. In the past I have sent a message to the wrong friend, luckily the text only said “Is your house on fire?”. The friend was confused but I didn’t mind sending it to her since we were good friends, but I wouldn’t want to make the same mistake again. I would tell my past self to check who I am about to text just in case it is the wrong person.
