Two Long Shot Interviews That Paid Off
Dear Younger Self
Dear Younger Self
What a cutie! But seriously I’m here to give you some advice.
Be a more adventurous eater, try the sushi.
Don’t fight with your mother so much, you’ll find out later she was usually right.
Practice the piano so you can play something besides Fur Elyse.
Don’t abandon your theatre dreams and someday you may be a star.
Forget that lucrative job offer and join the Peace Corps.
Buy the shoes and eat the cake.
Take marriage more seriously and maybe you’ll get it right the first time.
And please check back every few years if you’re not too busy.

But lately I find myself reverting to old mnemonics like “i before e, except after c…” before I risk putting pen to paper.
