Day 13 - Dear Me

Dear Me,

I am you in several decades and I am writing to you from the future. I know you are only 16 years old right now but when you read this know that I am writing this to field off alot of mistakes you are going to make as you grow up.

You crush alot on really cute boys. When you get 18 you are going to start having sex with some of them. Take it from me, hold off. There is no need to have sex so soon. You will like Prince 2.0 when you meet him in a couple of years but he is not worth you giving him your virginity. Hold off. Also, there are a bunch of guys that you will meet that you will want to sleep with...DON'T. You'll thank me later. You will appreciate the ones you do have sex with when you are older alot more.

Make sure you love your parents more and show them more respect then you do because, trust me, when you grow up to be me they are not around and you will miss them with every fiber of your being and wish you had more time with them to show them you loved them more so please be a better daughter.

Spend as much time with your grandparents as you can and really appreciate them. Soak up their knowledge because when you are me you will regret and be sad that all that wisdom is now gone.

Make sure you get involved with extra curricular activities so that you can develop some really serious interests in things. When you get to be me if you don't you will regret it because you'll find that you don't have a real interest in any one thing in particular.

When you meet Morris next year do not, and I repeat, do not write him that letter you will be tempted to write. Trust me on that.

When you meet your future husband, The Douche, please walk right past him. Do not marry this idiot. You'll be glad you didn't.

When you meet Mr. NC, hold on to him for dear life.

You are going to take a liking to fashion and makeup, pursue this in the next couple of years. Seriously.

I hope I help you be a better you when you are me. Take care of yourself now so that I don't suffer later.

Love you.

Just telling it like it is said...

Omg that almost made me cry...really...I wish I could write to myself to and say don't go out with the first Engineer guy...he will put you through hell and it will end broken hearted...but still I am not sorry for the happy times because when we were happy it was wonderful...so maybe next time take more precautions and don't fall so hard for him...keep[ 3 feet away at all times and have more sex with Dr. Goldenrod!!

Why is it that most letters to our 16 year old selves revolves around boys? Mine was boys and wet tshirt contests. How ashamed is my 42 year old self...

So much you've learned from life. Too bad there aren't any "do overs" but the good news is that that we do learn and then keep on moving. Good advice for you 16 year old self.
