What Would The 16-year-old Version Of Yourself


Ash Wednesday

Recommended Posts

are we doing "my sixteen year old self" or my "ten years ago self"?

My 16 year old self would wonder why we are Catholic, why we are homeschooling and for goodness sake why we are still living in Minnesota.

My 30 year old self would probably just be excited to know that HSson major was a boy... and that HSson minor exists at all.

"Thank gosh I still have the same morals four years from now. And I'm still a nerd. Excellent. Ew, you listen to pop music? And rap? I finally have Catholic friends!!! Yay!!!"

There is probably more but I can't think of it off the top of my head.

"You finally got Confirmed! You kept your morals and waited until you got married! Wow, you're pregnant and due in Nov. and you've only been married since Dec!! You married a Yankee and he's Catholic! What happened to Vet. school? You have a BA in Theology?!"

"Catholicism? I don't think daddy would approve (I know, surprise surprise...But God is good, isn't he?)... Wow, you have a lot of books...and you actually are pretty nice...does that cat have 3 legs?...Rachel Scott, eh?...and latch hooking?...you want to become a vegetarian?...Oh, oh that's cute. Your current read is a book of poetry...what's next, are you gonna buy bongos and start sitting cross-legged?

I love the way I turned out :D I think my 16 year old self would be surprised to see me the way I am now.

What the #$%^&* did you do to your body, and what are you doing in Alberta, and where the heck is Alberta anyway?

Why do you sound so much like mom, you sellout.

And what are you doing still in school 30 years later?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa.... what do you mean you're living in Denver? Sweet. I knew we'd finally get out of this po-dunk town. So who's your man? Oh- you're getting married? How long have you lived together?... What? You're not? You're Catholic??! What's a Catholic? So it's social work instead of Law School, I can handle that- but what is this tire around your middle. Go get yourself back in shape! Congrats on the degree, by the way! I knew we could do it!"

Actually- I think my 16 year old self would be pretty happy with me right now, although pretty stunned about the Catholic thing. I'm serious when I say I didn't really know what it meant to be a Catholic- other than that meant you weren't Protestant.

let's see 10 years...

i would have my own line of fashionable wedding dresses! Though there would be a ton of suiters,(all of them being princes and sons of Emperors !!) though above all odds my true love :flowers: and i :love: would meet and fall in total love! i would then be happily married :marriage: to a cute heroic Catholic guy and have a new baby! My hard studying in high school(now) collage(after now but before then) will soon be paying off as I start to home school my children! :gradtalk:
