Younger me was too combative, angry and hopeless to understand and accept how one goes from bitter, defiant atheist to non-chalant, comfy believer, lol. But I think I would've been one hell of a parental figure for lil old me, one who would've understood the turmoil... 🥲

Young me would think my job is cool as hell, my tools and van are rad, my wife is hot, and that I am an absolute dumpster fire of a person. I know this because young me watches through the windows of my middle-aged eyes

I would care for younger me, give him love and understanding, and get him tested for ADHD.

Younger me picketed abortion clinics, and thought the earth was 4000 years old, so he can sit his ass down.

Yeah. It's not like I made the best decisions but I've helped a lot of people in life. I kinda think I should have been more selfish so maybe I wouldn't have such a dark sense of humor.
