The soundtrack for today is everything Kelis. There is something about her voice (no matter the content of the song) that takes me back to adolescence. I think about Judy Blume books, sleepovers, the color pink, being boy-crazy, playing MASH and surviving middle school. So today I’d like you to think back to 7th grade and remember how hard you thought your life was and compare it to today. Wow, right?! If we only knew back then what we know now.
If I could go back in time to 1994 this is what I’d tell the 12 year old me…
1.) stay interested in drawing
2.) take more pictures
3.) hug all your family members extra hard
4.) it’s not that deep, forget about that stupid boy
5.) look again/closer at the nerdy boy
6.) don’t wear those jellies again
7.) don’t get the perm!!!
8.) next year you will be sorry you ever asked to be a woman
9.) there is no cause to do that on the Bethel trip, tsk tsk
10.) tennis skirts are a bad idea no matter what everyone is doing
11.) listen to something else besides that
12.) be nicer
What advice would you have for the younger you?
