Dear Me

[outofplace]

Dear Me,

I want you to approach every situation with this one piece of advice in mind. You will regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did.

I'd offer you more direct advice regarding women, which you desperately need, but I wouldn't want to keep you from where you end up. Maybe it will make things easier on you to know that you're going to marry well.

Dear 17-year-old me,

Don't major in journalism. Become a dentist or a lawyer.

Should I feel troubled that this is word-for-word what I'd write to me?

Can we write "Dear younger [name of SportsJournalists.com poster]:" stories?

Not that I'd write any, but they could be epic.
