[ WP ] Write a time travel story that does n't create any paradoxes

This is the story about how I died. I'm afraid I am the ORIGINAL inventor of the time machine, not like the weirdo who stole my plans when I never returned to my original timeline. Once again I seem to have fucked up. 
 This all started a few weeks ago; when my good for nothing boyfriend dumped me. After graduating with a first in astrophysics at the age of 14 this was humiliating. 21 and my boyfriend for the past 3 years leaves without a word. So I did what any angry jealous ex does when she believes her previous partner is a lying evil prick, she builds a time machine to ultimately destroy him and whatever whore he ran off with. 
 
 After a few weeks I calmed down a bit. I ultimately decided that killing them would not be worth the time or effort, nor the jail sentence, so I set my mind to broader horizons. Dreams of Nobel Prizes fueled my work till the portal-esque machine was finished. It was like a metallic gate way, smooth with doors that slid to each side when a date was confirmed on the panel. I obviously assumed that my primitive version would be kept on display so that when I stepped into the future, to see where my obvious genius would get me. 
 
 Swirling lights of blue passed around me and as I stepped into the sun light I could feel the dust in the air. This certainly was n't right. This was MY house surly it must be a national monument to science??! As I looked around, dazed I heard yelling and shouting. Some one was pulling me and grabbing my arms, I was so tired. I woke up in this prison cell. Technology has massively advanced since my original timeline. Apparently time travel is `` not permitted'' now-a-days. I am to be put to death for a law I did n't even know existed while someone else takes the glory for inventing the machine I built. I suppose once I've been topped you'll run after him? People are always the same, looking for who ever seems most exciting. Well I can tell you I wo n't be treated like some common criminal. I may have no legacy but I will be avenged by someone, somewhere.
