Letter to myself

I found this letter tucked away in one of my many boxes after I moved and I was like....this handwriting looks familiar....oh wait, it's mine.  And why is it addressed to me?  Well thinking back, in English 101 Class back in college, the TA had us do a project and it was to write to ourselves a year from then and give advice etc.  Here is what I wrote and...man...why didn't I listen to myself back then...sheesh, I could have saved myself lots of emotional turmoil but I was not ready and couldn't have understood then what I know now.  Well I still abide by these rules and it's led me to this wonderful life that I have now.  I was pretty right on even 12 years ago.
