If you could go back in time and give your teenage self some advice, what would you tell him?
I asked myself this very question two and a half years ago and wrote my younger self the following letter and published it on my Life Experiences blog on my sixty-third birthday. I don’t think I can say it any better now. ------ October 8, 2018 To: Paul Moorman @ 18 From: Paul Moorman @ 63 Dear Self, Happy birthday! If the theories we’ve learned about time travel are true, you will never be able to read this letter, but in case this does somehow fall into your hands, I’ll try not to give too much of our future away. But hey, now that you know you’ve made it to our sixty-third birthday, maybe I’ve given too much away already, but I’ll try to be careful. You’ve already figured out that the co-ed Chaminade-Julienne is really different than our all-male Chaminade. You’ll get through it and have stories to tell the rest of our life. College will be much better. We’ll really hit our stride. The simple message of this letter is “don’t change a thing”. Not that life won’t throw us curve balls
