Adhesive Past
I just happened to be looking under my printer and I found something I couldn’t wait to use… two years ago.
I got it when I went to Iceland (I must have been 14 or 15). It came from one of those machines…. you know, the ones where you put in a quarter and get out a surprise. But it’s not really a surprise, because you have an idea of what you are going to get.
Anyway it’s a bumper sticker that says, “Clear The Road I’m 16!!!”
I was so excited that someday I would be able to drive, and I would have a car, and I could slap that sticker on.
But I never did.
And now I’m not 16, and I haven’t been 16 for a while.
What should I do?
Was my joy in stickers not really that important?
Or should I slap it on anyway to fulfill my past proud desires?
