Dear Me (at age 15),
I recently turned 40, wow, what a ride. I can say it’s pretty amazing to feel my best years are ahead of me (God willing).
I was thinking about what I could suggest to you… possibly some things to help you save time, live happier, and avoid stress as you grow older. I know how stubborn you can be and how much you admire yourself… but I also know deep inside you’re really just scared and confused. It’s OK, we all are. Maybe that doesn’t make sense right now, but just think about it—and try to listen the best you can. Oh, and above all, know that you are loved just the way you are.
Now, on to the topic at hand… Although I like numbered lists today, I know you hate them as they are constraining, limit your artistic sense of spontaneity, and the content may get lost in your attempt to apply some type of weight or ranking based on order. So instead of a list, I’ll use bullets. You like those.
