A letter to my future self

I got the idea from a friends status on Facebook.

Dear me.
Are you an author yet? A famous soccer player? An Architect? Working in videogames?
To be honest it doesn't really matter. Just so long as you did a  few simple things. First, kept hold of your friends. You had a really awesome group of friends back then. Don't waste that. Second manned up a little. I know that back then you felt a little overwhelmed and are inclined to be reactive. And that's fine. But just choose the things that really matter and be proactive about them. Whether it be a girl, a job, or anything. Just make sure that you go out and get it. Third. Be able to strike at least two things from that list. I don't care if they were the easiest things on that list. Just do it. You have the time right now and you had the time then. I hope you used it wisely. Fourth. Never live in fear of anything. I understand that so much depended on what you did back then. And that you had a right to be scared. But an admirable goal to strive for is to never be afraid of anything. It may seem stupid but I know that back then you were tired of living in fear. A little fear may be good but you never wanted any. I hope you strove for that goal. Because you'll never reach it entirely. Not in your life. But I hope that you tried. And last of all. Remembered that your nothing without the people around you. You were beginning to understand it back then.

Sincerely you.
