Writer's Block: If I could find my way
[Error: unknown template qotd]
That depends. Am I allowed some measure or all of what I know now? Or am I simply restarting at some prior time and reliving it?
If reliving it, no thanks. It was bad enough the first time.
If I could go back with today's knowledge, I would have to reach back very far - to when I was nineteen years old, a year after my father died, rudderless and dating a girl who I foolishly followed to a college that was ultimately without worth in terms of shaping my career. (I have written about that before.)
I would seek out a man I could respect to fill a paternal role in my life.
I would break up with Sheri, and attend a different college - probably NWMSU, where I had a scholarship (but no idea what that meant, since no one ever told me).
...and I would never, ever be without a condom.
