A letter to myself at 18

[priceyfatprude]

Since no one is sure about Malarkey, let's assume for right now that he is indeed an 18 y/o boy.

Do you remember being 18? I do.

So in this thread, I would like you to post a letter to yourself, written by the you that you have become. In it, you should include some things you have picked up along this journey, that might've have been useful to you at that time.

Dear PFP @ 18:


That boy you're dating? Don't feel so bad about talking to the other boys. He's as gay as a tree full of parakeets. The only reason he pulls the jealousy thing is b/c the gays love their drama. Move on. Save yourself some screaming matches, b/c at 18 you couldn't possibly know that you will spend the next 5 years arguing with him.

Take out enough money to do everything that you need to do w/your student loan. You can pay it back later.

Stop considering everyone else's feelings so much. Considering yours is good for you.

Drop that clingy friend NOW, otherwise @ 30 you will be wondering why she is still in your life.

Do not move in w/anyone who is your friend. It will ruin the friendship beyond repair.

Keep one of your turntables, you knob!!!




Now it is your turn!

Knock it the **** off w/the hydrogenated oil. You are allergic to it, although the allergy won't get analphalactic until your late 20's. Stopping eating it now will be the best thing you ever did. 2 more things: your mom was right to cut down your sodium intake last year. Stop begrudging her for it. Also, you should go vegetarian as soon as you can. IF you can... Because you have your grandmother's kidney disease, a most beautiful legacy from your father. So protect yourself NOW.
