If You Could Be 16 Again...

I agree, for most of us it's probably best not to think too much

Or to quote someone else:

"when you can do whatever you want [ie: free will]; What do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"

I call it freedom. To wake up and do what you want to do. My quote under my posts (which I'm assuming you're referring to) is meant to be a personal question. You can answer it however you like .

I would advise my 16 year-old self to start taking shit more seriously.

I find we do the same stuff for the same reasons again and again. I've tried to recapture the past multiple times and repeat well what was a failure the first time and the second; either I ran into similar problems I had forgotten about or circumstances had changed so much it was possible anymore at that time.

In my life (47) I have learned things very much to my profit, although not financially. I think money itself is boring. It needs to be in order, but otherwise it doesn't much interest me.

I attended at the cremation of my lover (73) at Père Lachaise crematory.

There's no tertiary diploma, there's no real career (but I do actually work for a living - from time to time).

But no one can say I haven't tried to make something out of my life.

I think it's better to learn the lessons from life and turn the page.
