If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say? – I feel like I just answered a question like this a short time ago from the daily prompt.

Message to past self at:

10-year-old me- It’s okay to cry, don’t keep all that pain inside for so many decades.

20-year-old me – Slow down on the drinking. And don’t take another 6 years doing it.

30-year-old me – The pain of loss repeatedly will be rewarded greatly, just hold on.

40-year-old me – You got your dream job at the most prestigious place in your profession. Don’t be intimidated, you’re just as smart or smarter than a lot of them.

50-year-old me – You will beat cancer.

60-year-old me – You will beat cancer again.

Yesterday – that was a great decision to relax a little and have a little fun between the chores. Now get back to work.
