Dear 17-year-old Me,
I know you are going to think Im crazy for saying these things, but I am going to keep it short and simple. I dont want to give too much away. I know you think your Mom is out to ruin your life youre wrong, shut up once in a while and just do what she says. Your brothers can be pretty cool sometimes. It doesnt make you cooler to drink and party instead of going to classtrust me. Youll meet several guys that you think are the one but trust me when you finally meet him, you will wonder how you were able to function without him in your life. It isnt going to be easybut please dont give up. Oh, and dont sell your car it is WAY too cool and youll regret it later. And last, but not least, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT forget your teddy bear at Adams house in Louisville. Take the fricking camera to the Blues Traveler concert in VA. Please. I love you even if dont always act like I do. Peace out, yo. Keep it real and all that.

Love,
29-year-old You
