I would tell myself to be more confident w/ my relationship w/ my bf Kelly. Maybe if I had been stronger, he'd still be alive today. And then I would go into the acting field EARLY. If I couldn't do it as a child, then I would have started around 21. I would tell myself to work hard & to try to work non-stop. So that by the time I've reached this age, I'd be already successful. I would have fame, fortune & a plethora of friends instead of just starting out.
I thought by now I'd have a two big houses for my mom & my sister, Adrienne, (a small place for me), maybe 3 cars, & fur coat for my Mommy... (& I dare ANY PETA PERSON TO FUCK W/ MY MOM & HER COAT, BECAUSE I'D KICK THEIR ASS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK!!!! ... & do it w/ a smile on my face.) I always wanted to get those things for her. I figure, after 5 decades of service to this family, she deserves something wonderful... especially after putting up w/ me & my bullshit! (I'll admit it... I wasn't easy to raise.) Right now, I have a hard time buying the bracelet she wanted for her birthday... Maybe I can buy it for her at Christmas...
I always knew I wanted to be an actor... even b4 I started grade school. Ever since I was in my 1st Xmas play, in either 7th or 8th grade, I knew that this was right. It just felt right. Every time I went into some other occupation, be it publishing, or broadcast or even lowly little retail, it felt wrong. If I could go back in time, I would start out in college, like I had wanted. I would have worked in the theater Dept. at Temple. I know I can go back, but right now I don't have the $$$ for school. (If I can't pay for a bracelet, how am I going to pay for my Masters?)
But, time unfortunately, is linear. I can't go back. It would be nice to have a BIG "Redo" button when it comes to life... maybe we get it @ death. Can you imagine going to God after you die & saying, "Uh,God... My life sucked ass big time on earth the 1st time around, so, I want a do-over!"
Maybe that's where reincarnation comes in...
