Writer's Block: Memo to Myself

[Error: unknown template qotd]

There's lots and lots of stuff I'd want to tell myself. Problem is, I'm not entirely sure I would listen. My younger self was kind of a know-it-all.

1. Even though Nancy Reagan and that commercial with the frying pan were total BS, there are some legitimate reasons not to give your life over to drugs, even marijuana. So dammit, be careful.

2. You are awesome. Anyone who tells you otherwise is of no consequence, even if those people live in the same house as you.

3. If you really want to be a writer, start writing and don't stop no matter what.

4. Go see a counselor and get some meds so you don't waste 10 or 15 years being unable to manage your life.

5. No credit cards. EVER.

6. If boys are mean to you, stop sleeping with them.

7. Spend more time with your Grandparents while you can.

8. People you like to get high with will make shitty roommates.

9. Keep your tap shoes, new taps are expensive.

10. You are never stupid for trusting someone, even if they turn out to be unworthy.

11. That's compressed air. If you screw around with those tanks, they're gonna blow up!
