Dear Younger Self,
Hey young man, I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and impart every piece of wisdom I’ve had hard-wired into me through all the blood, sweat, and tears that I’ve learned the hard way. So what I’m about to say, you need to prepare yourself for an uphill battle. If you don’t change, your headed to the prison institution with lots of rude, disrespectful, dirty convicts and then you’re here praying and pleading to God telling him how it was only a joke. “I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody. I only wanted to fit in.”
No! You are the leader. You are the chosen one. You get to make smart choices to keep you in them books and out of them streets. Remember, the only person/persons who will never turn on you is God who needs to be #1 and #2 yourself. Once you get that down, you’ll save yourself a lot of heartbreak. No one on earth is meant to last forever so treat every day as if it were your last and move on. Do not linger or you’ll need something to reduce or soften the pain. You are special, you are loved, you are a child of the most high God, and you are the future. | EW
