The Bad Dreamers - Space and Time

You know, somebody asked me once:
"If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?"

So I thought about it, and
I came to the conclusion that I couldn't answer it.

Because if who I am today went back in time, right now,
Whatever I say to the younger me could potentially have such an effect
That the younger version of me could never make it back to this moment
Where they were asked:
"What if you could go back in time?"

See, if I could go back in time,
I'd prefer to let the younger me speak
So that I could listen to what they have to say

Because surely, along the way,
For as much as I've learned,
I've also forgotten

I've forgotten how to be free of my insecurities,
I've forgotten how to live in the moment,
How to stop worrying so much about the future...
Why is that?
I've become jaded in my years

But if I had to give the younger me any bit of advice,
I would say this:
"Call your mother.
Call your father.
Tell the ones you love just how much you love them before it's too late.
Because, surely, the older you is listening to this conversation
In a memory.
And, boy, do they wish they could travel back to this moment
Right here,
Right now."
