Timeless

You ever wish you could travel back in time just long enough to stop your younger self from doing something really stupid or awful? Now I'm not sure I'd want to get face-to-face with myself or anything - Current Me would be aghast at my deplorable sense of style and poor personal grooming, Younger Me would get their hopes of growing up to be a 5'9" Amazon crushed to dust.

But if I could drop off little notes along my timeline to myself? That'd be cool. And wise. And may read something like this ...

 

Dear pre-school Lisa - Don't let that little boy you go to school with pick on you so much. He will throw your Care Bears lunchbox and break it, then you'll get stuck making up some lame excuse to mom and dad and get in trouble for it. And don't try to steal the Smurf figurines from class - stealing is wrong, you're an awful thief and dad always catches you.

Dear elementary school Lisa - You may want to reconsider all the allowance money you blow on New Kids on the Block stuff. Believe it or not, but Jonathan Knight does not know you exist.

Dear 6th grade Lisa - How come you've suddenly become the bully? Please don't make fun of that new boy in your class. He runs funny because he has braces on his legs, he's doing the best he can.

 

Dear high school Lisa - So much here, where to begin? First, get rid of that sheer lace billowy pirate shirt - it looks good on no one. Two, be more appreciative of your teachers who are really trying to help you learn. Three, why bother lying to mom and dad? They know, they always know. Fourth - first time skiing? Do not, I repeat, do NOT bomb the hill your first time out. It'll be funny, but it'll hurt real bad ... And lastly - don't waste precious sleep time by going on Talk City. The only people in chat rooms at midnight are Creeps.

Dear college freshman Lisa - Don't even bother with the premed classes - you suck at science, remember?! And don't stress so much about your classes and papers, it really won't matter when you get out into the real world.

Dear fresh out of college Lisa - Credit is not real money. And don't date a boy who is a total moocher, goes from job to job, and actually believes he will make a ton of money by paying to go to those Make. Cash. Fast. seminars.

For full-time job Lisa - Time passes really fast. Stop putting things off.

Now what about you ladies - are there things you wish you could have told your younger self?
