Write a letter to your 13 year old {sic} self. (reach-back to 2013)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Dear Me,<\/p>\n\n\n

I think you’re probably seeing that things are changing rapidly. You’re living there in a place that’ll look absolutely nothing like you’re accustomed to.<\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t take “we think you’ve got mono” as an answer when it comes to medical stuff. You’re not a ladies’ man, and you really will never be. But what you’re going through is something else, entirely. When they finally figure it out, when you’re 30, things will make a lot more sense. No, I’m not going to tell you what it is, because it was a very dire diagnosis back then. It probably isn’t going to kill you, which probably would have been something you’d have been told were you diagnosed now. <\/p>\n\n\n

You will marry. I won’t tell you much about her, as she’s very young right now. But you’ll feel differently about her than you ever thought possible.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stick around with the Saints and Royals. Good things will come, though it may seem very bleak for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n

A character currently portrayed by Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live<\/em> will end up as President. The election will surprise lots of people, but it’s not the world-ending catastrophe that some people say it will be. The SNL actor’s career is cut very short, but I won’t tell you why.<\/p>\n\n\n

Brush your teeth. Just say, “no.” Avoid alcohol and tobacco.<\/p>\n\n\n

Some day Informer<\/em> will be a tool of ridicule; he won’t have another hit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n

Not a lot more to add to this. It did get things moving thought-wise, though, so not a bad prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n

How do I tell myself a few things to look out for, without telling the full story? Donald Trump is going to be President, and Phil Hartman is going to get murdered in bed<\/em> by the crazy blonde he’d married.<\/p>\n\n\n

I do hope I’ll be able to write in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
