Letter to myself

Dear Jessy,

Something you did when you were 12 will haunt you forever. When James asks you if that is your mom as your walking beside her to the store don’t be sarcastic and say no because it doesn't come out that way. The pain you caused your mother even though you didn't mean to will always stick with you. That will be one of your biggest regrets. Please stop arguing with your mom and walk away when you get annoyed. Don’t say to her you wish you were never born. When you get older you will realize just how much it hurt her. She has done everything in her power to provide you with what you needed so stop being the rebellious teenager.

When you are in high school you will have the time of your life. Don't worry about getting that job when you are 16 because it’s only gonna cause your grades to slip. When you graduate high school you will have your first heart break. That boy is no good and he will teach you not to be so naïve. When your gut tells you something is up, trust it!

When you are 21 do not write those bad checks that you are thinking about. Your paychecks will not cover them and it will save you embarrassment and the stress of going through court. The people who you are hanging out with will give you some of the greatest memories but always stay on your toes because not all of their intentions are good.

Remember to always love with all your heart and give 110% in everything you do. When you are in your late 20’s you will realize that your life has been good and every mistake you have made has led you to be the caring and compassionate person you are. The people you surround you will always remind you of this and push you to be the best at whatever you decide.

In college your are asked to write a life goal but you should always keep it in mind when your younger as well. It says:

"My Goal in life is to be the best person I can be. To never give up on my dreams. I want to be someone that kids can look up to and influence them to strive to reach their goals."

P.S. Southern Comfort will cause you many awesome nights, but those memories will cause you great embarrassment. So stick with beer or Jack lol
