This is a fun little writing exercise. Here's mine–I want to see yours!
It’s 2012 and I’m 4 years wiser than you are so you better listen to me and you better listen good.Enjoy every single second you have with Matt, Dane, Kellan, Jordyn, and Chase. I know it’s hard to believe right now but one day you’re not going to have them around so much any more. Quit taking the friendship you have with these guys for granted and start cherishing what they mean to you now. You’ll never have that again, ever.And I know that you’re probably still in the puppy love stage with Sarah. Cherish that, and don’t treat her like shit. Don’t act like a sorry asshole when you know that she’s doing everything she can to cheer you up. I know it’s hard to control your emotions right now and your hormones are in turmoil, but it’s no excuse to act like a dick to someone who cares about you.Make an effort to talk to your dad more. Although you don’t realize it yet, you and him are similar in more ways than you can imagine. He isn’t home all the time, so make sure that when he is, you make time to have talks with him. Ask him about what things were like when he was your age. Talk to him about baseball. Ask him about papa.Quit stressing your mother out with school. Just do your homework, seriously. I know you can. And you better enjoy the shit out of her constant home cooked meals, because those won’t be around forever. Take some time to thank her for all the hard work she does around the house.I know, the Yankees didn’t make the playoffs this year. Don’t lose faith in Girardi so soon, though. 2009 is going to be a good year. The Eagles aren’t going to get better, at least not yet. You’re allowed to hate the Patriots for a few more years but it will soon be time to let that go as well.Get to know your little sisters more. Talk to them about anything. One day you’re going to leave the house and really regret not getting to know them better. They’re going through almost the same things you are right now, and trust me, you’ll be able to relate to them better than almost anyone, even if they are girls.I know things are crazy right now. But you’re gonna make it. You’re gonna make it.

Dear 15 year old me, act like a normal human being so I don't suffer for it…
I would send one to my 15 year old self, but I'm scared to because then my 21 year old self would send one to me and remind me that I haven't done shit :(
Dear 15 year old me,
Take up piano again. There will come a time you wish you could play.-Me
