what would you leave yourself notes about?

Maybe, but I'd be more prone to going *backward* and doing much the same, since I know my own past better than I do the future. o_O Something tells me that my 80-year old self wouldn't appreciate a note from me, currently at 40, half as much as my 20-year-old self would.
So yeah, I'd be stuck looping around trying to correct my own past, paradoxes and truth failures be damned. Hell, people already say I'm "nuts" and my life sucks....so what do I have to lose?
Mainly it would be notes of encouragement....or, sometimes, the verbal equivalent of a smack upside the head to keep me from making some of the *dumber* mistakes I made. I think the biggest changes would be ones I make to my college career, mainly in the way of keeping myself out of bad debt and in the way of getting into a more practical major.
Although avoiding some of the fights, injuries, and wear-&-tear things might be good too....
(odd thing is, I clearly recall having more than a few moments, especially when I was a teenager in high school, where it seemed like I had already *did this* for myself, mainly by way of telepathy-like moments where I'd hear what seemed to be an older, wiser version of me in my own head....but then I had a head injury late in high school and one consequence of that is that I didn't get the "guidance" to continue through my 20s, and I really feel I probably *should have*, you know?)
But yeah....I really don't see what good I could do leaving myself notes *into my own future* since I wouldn't know what I was talking about. For all I know, I might not even live to *see* 80, you know?
Thanks for your time though. ^_^ Good question!

I wouldn't really want to see the version of old me. Rather, I'd sell the machine for millions and live happily ever after.

If I found a time machine, I'd go look at dinosaurs ... at a safe distance.
