    What was I doing in 1995?

    I would wake up, pour some Frosted Flakes and play Donkey Kong Country.

    What would I do now?

    Go outside and take a slow walk through my old neighborhood and probably cry.

      Buy a cellphone. We already had them in the late 80's.

      Here’s your new Motorola StarTAC with 120 anytime minutes and double-sized battery. That'll be $600. Do you want to pay with your Discover card?

            Go see Jeff Buckley and tell him to stay away from the Mississippi River.

              Turn on my computer and play some Command and Conquer or if it's weekday, get up and prep for school.

                    Do I wake up at 6 years old? Or as I am now, but in '95?

                    Doesn't matter, I'm watching fuckin POWER RANGERS.

                      Find a job doing almost anything and being able to afford all of this is the best time traveling gift.

                      Also get a little house on that salary, oh if only.

                        1995...

                        I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade.

                        And I remember everything, huh? Hoo boy. Hoooo boyyyyy.

                        First thing I do is write this list while it's still fresh in my mind:

                        1. ADHD is real and it will ruin my potential if I don't face it head on. The medication won't work on me yet, though, so tell Mom and Dad I NEED to get back on medication when my brain is more developed in a couple years.
                        2. Also, for future reference: it isn't actually a deficit of ATTENTION at all--it's really stupidly named by neurotypicals who don't fucking get it--it's TIME BLINDNESS and a deficit of IMPULSE CONTROL and EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
                        3. Sugar is going to make me extremely sick and all my weight and fitness issues come directly from carbohydrate overdose. STOP drinking soda, and avoid refined/homogenized starch!
                        4. I'm about to enter the most painful and traumatizing stage of my formative years. The middle school I'll be attending starting 6th grade will be hell on earth. I need to keep my FUCKING mouth shut and not talk to ANYONE unless they talk to me. I also need to practice the skill of mindful dissociation and compartmentalization. Stoicism will be my only shelter.
                        5. Yes the adults around me are morons and don't know what they're talking about, but broken clocks can be right twice a day. In this case, they're correct about homework and studying being important for the wrong reasons: It is NOT about satisfying the expectations of teachers, but rather it is entirely for practicing the skill of internalizing and recalling information. I will not regret time I spend on it.
                        6. Mom and Dad are struggling financially right now. Dad's racking up debt while Mom is the only reliable source of income. That's why they would "hold onto" my birthday and xmas money "for safekeeping". it is neither kept nor safe; it's gone. All of it. HIDE ANY MONEY I RECEIVE... and tell grandpa to buy stock in Apple.
                        7. Express early interest in nuclear energy and pursue it with everything I've got. Approach via Mechanical Engineering. I'll enjoy Computer Aided Drafting in High School.
                        8. Remember the major incidents to come: Columbine and zero tolerance policy in 1999, also dotcom bubble crash, Al Gore will lose in 2000, WTC will be destroyed by a terrorist attack 2001-09-11, Bush Jr administration will cause the housing market to crash as well by 2008, America succumbs to Fascism in 2016, and there will be a global plague in 2020.
                        9. I'm a furry and I am not actually a boy despite being assigned male at birth. Embrace androgyny. Get online. Find my tribe. Draw a lot.

                              Take my routine morning shit. But instead of my phone I’m reading the label on the back of any bottle I can reach from the throne.

                                      Am I a grown adult that wakes up in a foster care home and the child that was there previously is gone?
                                      Do I have to spend the rest of my life without an identity, or clinging to the “delusion” that I was this child that mysteriously disappeared?

                                      Am I a child with 40 years of life experience?
                                      Not long after, When I was 14, my first consensual sexual experience involved an 18-year-old. We got caught, and folks widely regard/regarded her as being inappropriate/in the wrong. Huh. First girlfriend, high school dances/romances. College. Jesus - every relationship basically forever.
                                      If I proceed down the same path, does that mean I’m the creep now?

                                          There were cell phones in 1995. Though vastly different from today still widely used.
