Sure, but that's what time traveller you brings to the table, some "future understanding".

I would hope I would listen, deflect my trajectory somewhat at least.

but that's the thing, my new understanding may make me miss out on certain things... example: i go back and tell myself, work hard and learn programming. I go 200% on it, but then when i do it i realize i feel i missed out on life becuz i listened to my future self. Future self doesn't have perfect memory and dont really knew what my past was feeling and had perspective.
