While I was driving to town yesterday I began thinking about young women now and all of the fun choices they have. This made me start feeling a bit nostalgic about my youth and the many paths my life has taken. I started making a list in my head of all of the things I would have done differently in my youth (or would do now if I were younger) and decided to write them down.
If I knew then what I know now I would have...
- Learned to play the piano
- Said yes to "will you play in our band?"
- Started an all girl band
- Never been a follower
- Stayed independent
- Never gotten married
- Never worn a bra
- Stayed a size 10 so I could always wear vintage clothes
- Learned to like sewing
- Worked in a restaurant
- Learned how to rollerskate
- Been a rollerblade girl
- Not wasted time going to college
- Taken a writing class
- Kept a journal
Now that I've made that list I need to take action. Some are out of reach but others are possible. The question is, do I have the guts?
