I need to be more flexible!

When I was a kid I was obsessed with Moebius strips. I would take a strip of paper, twist it once and tape the two ends together, then take a pair scissors and cut down the center of the strip. Almost everyone I would show this to believe there would be two separate loops of paper, however what you get is two loops interlocked.

I would sit for hours staring at MC Escher paintings and specifically think about meeting myself upside-down on the staircase.

I would fantasize about time travel.

My friends always thought about going into the future, but I imagined what it might be like to go into the past and try to protect myself from the future. I used to try meditating and focusing on a negative event in my past and imagine a more positive situation that I would paste over the bad one. I would be my own historical revisionist!

It occurred to me one day that the intuition and hunches I feel could be my future self recreating my past, protected me from the future. If Nietzsche's is right and we are doomed to relive the same life over and over, this might be a loophole.

Now if I can only send back lotto numbers!
