What would you love to tell your younger self?

Danny Tyree on Mar 9, 2022

“Dance with the one that brung you, unless they brung you to a disability interview. No dancing!”

“Pray without ceasing, that you fall off your platform shoes and meet a merciful death before having to encounter something called ‘skinny jeans.’”

“Dorothy, always make sure you…er, I mean, Danny, always make sure your proofread really well when you’re plagiarizing someone else’s essay.”

Would my self from 40something years ago really pay attention to any of these pearls of wisdom?

Maybe not. Mr. “All the Answers” would probably reason, “He COULD be giving advice to baby Hitler’s nurse, but instead he chooses to advise a geeky writer wannabe? Can you spell ‘loser’? No, seriously, another time traveler told me about Common Core, and I’m wondering, can you spell ‘loser’?”
