2020 has been a year like no other. We asked our readers to imagine they could go back in time and send a message to themselves one year ago. Here's a selection of their responses.
👇

'Go places; see movies; visit friends; eat nice meals out; stock up on Lysol, toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, cherry Coke and chocolate. You can never have too much chocolate.'

'Just remember that you can't grow without change. Because you have to burn it down first.'

'Take your entire family, including the cat and the dog, and move to Australia.'

'Remember that every day you wake up is a gift. This year will be one of the roughest but if you stay positive and try your best to stay healthy, you'll be okay.'

'Find a girlfriend before 2020. Take my advice seriously. 2020 is hell. You cannot find a girlfriend in hell! Now go find her.'

'Try to be empathetic to people who don't agree with you, especially when it comes to politics. And don't unfriend your aunt for posting frustrating memes.'

'This is the year you finally buckled down and finally went to school online. You did it. Good job.'

'Maybe throw in that extra-large pack of toilet paper on your next Costco run. You'll thank me later.'

'Strap in, save your money and get ready for the hardest year of your life because 2020 will test you in more ways than you thought possible. But now that I've gotten through 2020, I don't think there's anything that can stop me from doing what I want to do.'

What would you tell yourself if you could go back in time? Leave us a voicemail.
