Useful thought experiment, thanks Lucy. I suppose my 87-year old self would tell my 47-year old self: "You don't realise how young you are, enjoy every single moment!"
I love this question Lucy! I think my older self would say to me ( current age 49): " everything works out. You thought you would always exist in an unhappy marriage, falter without his finances/on your income alone, never have sex or good sex again, never dance to loud pop music in your living room... Concentrate on your spirit, on joy, on your friends and loved ones. Let all the work bullshit go - it deserves just an eye roll in the realms of time, and keep voting and fighting." OR more probably: "for fucks sake- stay away from tequila."

Thanks, Anjali, this is wise advice! Loud pop music in your living room is always a good idea...
