Letter to my 16-year-old self

[tonica]

Thanks to Stephen Fry for this idea. :)

I hate to say this, C, but you're going to wish you were fat again, just so you could be young. Sorry. Also, try to have a bit more fun, because that's all you're going to get. See if you can get D to dump his silly teenage girlfriend and become involved with you. That was probably your best chance to get a cute boyfriend of a reasonable age at that time. Work a little harder at getting a good education, because, frankly, you screwed up there, big time, despite the good grades. You should also begin to work on your writing a lot earlier. Imagine where you'd be today, if you'd been serious about it sooner.

What a fabulous idea, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised considering that it came from Stephen Fry! :-) Great letter btw. I think I'd say at least a couple of the same things to my 16-year-old self -- assuming she'd listen! *g*

:) Thanks.
I'd have listened alright and I'd have been even sadder than I was, but then I always found it easier to believe in bad stuff than good stuff. :/
