Hey dumb dumb,
Remember how you tried to pick a place to grow up and become a man. That's going to get blown to bits. In the most spectacular way possible, you are about to get proven wrong.
-Snicker at your kid brother's comment about the United States electing a man of color to the presidency. You'll see why about 3 years after he made that comment.
- Your grandmother really did love you with everything she had. Every fiber, Every ounce. But she had a deep dark secret. She took that to the grave. She questioned even your safety and ability to stay safe, mostly from your self. You weren't wrong to question why she looked at you that made you wonder if you were crazy.
- Pay attention to your crazy Uncle Len. He's not the crab ass you think he is. He's going to inspire perhaps the biggest and most meaningful gift you have. You'll tell the world someday.
- Your hypersexuality is not normal. There's a lifetime behind that.
- If you pick up on the show The West Wing, you're doing alright.
- Read more. Read often.
- It's going to a beautiful young married woman who's going to give you the most precious outlet in life. not in the way you think. Pay attention to her. Yeah she's annoyingly beautiful from the inside out, you'll see why.
- Travel. At least dream of it more.
- The world is a dark place. In about 8 years you'll start the healing process of that vicious childhood. Right now the trauma is all that makes sense. Count to 100, close your eyes. Repeat.
- Pick up an instrument and for the life of you, learn to play the hell out of it. It'll keep you alive.
-In big bold black letters look up H-O-P-E define it, copy, paste it, and tape it up on your ceiling and look at it daily.
- You're more of an extrovert than you think.
- the little metal man on the cross that hung in your living room where you grew up is about to re-introduce himself in the most captivating and conspired sequence of events your life will ever see. He's not just for old men after all.
- College- it's not about you being smart enough. It's about the habits you have. You're definitely smart enough, but your work ethic is shady.
- There's a difference between self- esteem and confidence. You have neither. This is going to cripple you for the forseeable future. Your wholesome nature will get you through.
- Take care of your dental and personal hygiene.
- Your long hair will eventually grow old on you.
-Your tears, the unshakeable tremors your body endures, the anxiety attacks, the breakdowns mentally, they're not in vein. Don't try to kill yourself like you think of alot of days.
- No one will prepare you, but you'll see a lot of death. Your loved ones. You'll surprisingly deal with it well.
- This is the big one, a ton of people will tell you you're going to do amazing things with your life. It's up to you to believe them and do something with it.
Cheers buddy- God speed and safe travels
