What were your wrong turns in life?
What was wrong about them and what were the lessons learned?
What would your X year old self tell your Y year old self and / or, what would you tell up and coming Millennials and eventually, Homelanders. A few Homelanders are now approaching tweenerhood, which is typically where wrong turns start to happen. Some of my earliest wrong turns happened when I was 9.
The sixties (including all the 2T years as defined by S&H) was a great Awakening, but I got caught up too much in arguing and protest, which was not always the best approach to people and persuasion, especially regarding some of those who considered themselves to be in authority over me. I was too concerned and hurt in early life about peoples' rejection; I would know better that I am as good as anyone and have the potential to be more of what I want to be, regardless of their opinion. That was a more positive lesson I gained (to some extent) from the post-mid-sixties Awakening world.
