If I could meet my future self, I would like to know if I will ever...
...become accustomed enough to being a pastor that I stop freaking out about every minor crisis.
...learn to keep my mouth shut, especially about personal details.
...finish a sermon before Saturday night.
...feel less protective of my physical space.
...get my Ph.D.
...come to feel like a particular place is really home.
...be less spastic about things fitting into the general category of relationships.
...be less spastic...in general.
...stop responding to criticism from congregants by immediately wondering if I'm about to be jobless.
...stop worrying about whether my denomination is going to "discipline" me.
...become fluent in one of the several languages I have studied.
...live in NYC.
...pay off my student loans.
...learn to give compliments freely and gracefully.
