What Would The 16-year-old Version Of Yourself


Ash Wednesday

Recommended Posts

Last week I was at misereremi's house and we got to laughing about what we, at 16 or some younger age, would say to us now if they met us.

So what would the teenage version of you say if they met you now?

For me, it would be:
"You ended up with a European guy? And you live over in Europe? ROCK ON DUDE! Totally awesome! God is, like, really cool I guess! You're working as an artist? Isn't that a bit riskier than being a nurse? You aren't, like, poor and going broke? Wow, that's, like, totally cool. Catch any good hockey games lately? Rock and roll!"

Okay, so if you ARE in your teens, imagine what your life will be like 10 years from now and come back and read what you wrote. You will laugh. ^_^

You're... Catholic?

Good God, what the hell happened to you? Who got ahold of you and brainwashed you? What in the world are you doing with your life? Look at you! You've gone absolutely insane! Well. At least you're studying Philosophy. That's probably about the only thing you've got going for you. Good job at messing your entire life up.

Yeah, that's probably about right.

as a side note, i would tell my 16 year old self to quit being used by boys so as to get 'love' and affection.

Thy Geekdom Come

My 16-year-old self would probably say, "dude...dieting didn't work out so well, huh? Oh well, at least you got a gorgeous wife. What happened to my girlfriend? Oh...she ends up cheating on me...wow...that stinks. What's with the theology degree? I thought we were going with astrophysics! Seriously, I'm not sure what to think...you're a youth minister? What, do you do clown ministry like my youth minister? What do you mean we don't have cable?!"

I would probably say...

Dude! What's wrong with you? You sold out to the Catholic Church. Your like, practically an old Church lady. Stop hanging out in the chapel, and do something funner with your life.

My 16-year-old self would have considered that too awkward to bring up, due to its implications. Perhaps, after a while, I may have gotten a "congratulations," but only through a grin and much blushing.
