So much I could've done differently.

How do you feel about giving yourself advice?

[ohnot-again.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I'd ever done. You know what the Doctor would say though.

I think we can safely assume that if you don't remember this conversation, it's not going to rip time and space apart - and I'm not going to remember it, either.

I also really don't give a fuck what the Doctor would say about anything right now.

[ohnot-again.livejournal.com]

Then why bother with the advice?

[gotthemessage.livejournal.com]

It's a little less invasive than asking what it is you're regretting so much. Figured it was more likely to get me an answer - and you talking.

In a nutshell? Ianto. Steven. [The name he wants to mention the least is the one that this other him is most likely to recognize. After some hesitation...] Gray.

[He only recognizes one of those names, and it says something about his age -relative and otherwise - that he flinches a little when he hears it.] What do you wish you'd done differently?

[doctor-weevil.livejournal.com]

True, but thinking like that is only gonna fuck you up worse in the long term.

[ohnot-again.livejournal.com]

I know, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to think it once in awhile.

[doctor-weevil.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. You'd probably be a, you know, bonkers immortal psycho if you didn't brood over shit once in a while.

And I'd never learn anything either, and what would be the point in living then, right?

:)

[doctor-weevil.livejournal.com]

Exactly. You're on fire tonight.

It's like sex, I think. Perfect one time and then another it's complete shite, and it's not all your fault but you feel like crap and you maybe learn from it but you're still likely to do it again. Apparently. So I've heard. I'd be worried if you didn't brood sometimes but go easy on it, okay? I think that's where that tangent was meant to go.

[ohnot-again.livejournal.com]

Not surprised at the sex analogy coming from you, a bit surprised that you seem to care, but I'll do my best not to think about things too much.
