Rufus Wainwright - Foolish Love
Rufus Wainwright - The Origin Of Love
Rufus Wainwright - Danny Boy
Rufus Wainwright - The One You Love
Rufus Wainwright - April Fools

Stole this meme from caesaria82, even though only two years have passed after I was sixteen.
Dear sixteen-year-old me,
you've just made the best decision of your life. Seriously, keep going. Keep growing your hair out, keep buying clothes. Yes, you will be ashamed for this period in your life later on. You could have made some better clothing and styling choices, but don't worry, it's all going to turn out all right.
It's not easy to go from frumpy and ugly to okay looking and pretty well dressed, and you can't manage it in one day. It's going to take you a year, at least, to look at least a little presentable.
But seriously, keep going. This is the best thing you've decided to do.
Don't be so hard on your friends, or on yourself. They are going to turn out to be the best people you've met so far. Fuck university, enjoy high school while you can. Hold on to them. Don't feel ignored when they leave you, don't mope, that's just them. You know they can be a bit flaky.
Don't get hung up on that one boy, even if two and a half years later you still haven't quite figured out why he did that to you. Also, you're never going to stop finding him attractive, but you'll get over him, I promise. Be glad: this is where you seriously started writing poetry. Just... don't think it's good, yet. You'll get better. Use all that anger and that hurt as fuel, use that three-year-long crush and turn it into something beautiful and creative.
And most of all: forgive him. It wasn't a big deal, we only made it a big deal in our minds, and you didn't know back then that he had been struggling with a crush of a couple of years himself, only on someone else.
Besides, there's someone else you're going to fall in love with, and she's the most beautiful girl you'll ever meet. Also one of the sweetest and kindest and funniest. You're not meant to get together, but she'll be a wonderful friend, for a long time.
And most of all, it'll show you that yes, you will be able to fall for other people. You will not be hung up on that guy forever.
Don't worry about the future. We're still just going with the flow, seeing where life takes us. We've always known that we'll land on our feet, eventually.
Don't cry over your job. Your bosses and how they treat you aren't worth crying over. Take all those names they've called you, the ridiculous things they've said, and turn them into great stories and horror stories to compare your next job to.
By the way: your next job will be wonderful, and your colleagues will be total sweethearts, so don't worry about that. Ignore your bosses. Be a better person than them. They won't break you.
You'll still have nightmares about them, and about working there, a year and a half later, but they're becoming less and less frequent, and it'll all fade away eventually.
Again: your friends are awesome. Don't be so insecure.
Don't worry about not being experienced. You're not the only one, and we'll be okay with it later on. We will meet someone, eventually, but it's not a priority. You don't want to kiss just to be kissed, now do you?
While on that subject: don't feel guilty about treating that other guy that way. You didn't love him. You didn't even have a crush on him. It would have been worse for him if you had kept up that facade.
Love your body. While you're not at your most stylish and pretty right now, your body is banging. Love your new boobs, and enjoy being effortlessly skinny while you can.
Most of all: chill. Life isn't as hard as you think it is.
LOVE this year. Some of the best running jokes you've got with your friends come out of this year, and at the end of this year you'll also be a lot closer to that girl you've known since you were both babies. Watch out for her. Don't let her screw her life up, because right now she is pretty much doing that, and I can't do or say anything about it.
Love,
Me.
