If I had a time machine, and I could go back anywhere in time, I might go to a lot of times, to prevent myself breaking something, forgetting something at home, etc., but tonight I want to go back to when I was choosing a course for College, to a time when I was young and idealistic and thought, “hey, I could do this! I can do anything! My mom said so!”, and threaten my younger self with a shiv: “Listen younger self, you’re going to love your choice most of the time, but there will be times, at least 5 days a month, where you will want to use this to cut out your heart, and present it as a gift to the gods, to please help you finish what you have to do, just so you can finally rest after what feels like a bajillion years of not resting……………….

…but hey, no pressure!”
