giving advice to myself in the past
ASSIGNMENT
53. Give advice to yourself in the past.
Dear 2001 Jenny,
I know that this whole post high-school/beginning of college thing is really throwing you for a loop. For fuck's sake, you still do drugs! But remember that no matter how much cocaine you share with your roommate, she doesn't really care about you. Perhaps you should be more careful about the company you keep--jumping into all these new relationships at once is bound to make your heart ache. And sex! Sex. Don't get stranged out when people are like "OMG YOU'RE A VIRGIN!"--it's not enough of a reason to pal around with that dude. Later I'm sure he'll tell all his friends that you are wierd, without even thinking about the fact that yeah, a girl losing her virginity to someone ten years older will probaly act strange.
I wish that you could just know that no matter how much what they said hurts, it's not going to matter in one hundred years anyway. And I wish I could somehow let you know that it's okay that sometimes people hurt you--no one is your property, and really, you should have been looking after yourself enough so that no matter what they did you still would have had a strong foundation. Remember, people aren't thinking of you--they are usually thinking of themselves. THIS ISN'T DEPRESSING. Really, it should relieve you that usually people that say things that sting and do things that bite weren't going after you with darkness in their hearts. You just got in the way, dig?
Oh yeah, don't do the dirty with you know who--he never really loved you and will end up sleeping with your best friend.
Sincerely,
2006 Jenny
