There will be an agreement in whatever variety of actions, so they be each honest and natural in their hour. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years?  (Author: Corbett Barr)

To the person I was five years ago?  Two things.  One, you will not always have a job, so set some damn money aside for when things go weird.  Or, ask for help, don't just assume, you nutjob.  Two, she's twelve now.  It will not always be this bad.  I promise.

To the person I'll be in five years?  Wow.  That was easier than I imagined it would be.
