Letter to that one kid

A few things that would have been nice to know back then…. Don’t hide after breaking that lamp. Go to the bathroom before wrestling Uncle Tim at Christmas. Never laugh while being punished. Keep wearing sweat pants everyday, not matter what anyone says. Don’t leave that gate open. Keep drawing. Tell Mom you love her more. Joel didn’t do half of what you think he did. Talk to dad more. Show her you really did care. Wear a helmet… for most things. Learn how to throw a ball. Learn how to catch a ball.  Stop being so damn sarcastic. Wearing glasses isn’t that bad. That girl you kissed on Ski bus was not that attractive, don’t do that. Don’t go see the new star wars you’ll be disappointed. Dawson’s Creek isn’t a good show to base your life off. Dances aren’t worth that much money. Eat more fruit. Remember Jr. High is only two years. Don’t get that one hair cut. Its Ok that you puked on that one run… no one remembered. Things with Girls doesn’t get any easier. Don’t read Wild at Heart. You can get better grades. Bush was a bad idea. Make sure you always come to a complete stop especially on 15th. Valentines day is a made up holiday. Don’t smoke that one cigar. Natural Ice is a terrible beer. Cut your hair for senior pictures, you look like the illigidament child of Justin Guarini. Tight pants are Ok. You can make it into a college. Read an actual book. Your destiny is up to you. People do believe in you. And remember that it all passes way to fast.
