... and I clearly remember talking to my future self, whose advice I ignored, of course.
Now I'm caught in this late 'seventies time loop where I hear a retro song playing at Walmart (don't ask me why I was there today) and break down in PTSD tears.
My younger self was a fucking idiot who hurt everyone who tried to help him and it's possible I haven't yet learned how to forgive that guy.
