I was at lunch, and someone was telling a story involving the RMV. That reminded me that I need to get a new driver's license in July. And that in turn made me think about how old I was when I got my last license: 25, I think, or maybe 24. A lifetime ago, though it's passed so quickly.
And I started thinking about my 25-year-old self. What I would tell her if I could go back in time. The advice I would give. The cautions and forewarnings. There are too many to list; it would be a mile long.
If only I could go back--to 10 years ago, to 5 years ago, to 5 months ago. To have the benefit of hindsight. So many things could be better, could have been avoided.
But you know, I have a feeling that none of my younger selves would listen to a damn word I said.
