Correspondence with my teenage ego

in #writing7 years ago

I wish I could travel to the past and talk to you, in person, I know you need me. But I can not. So, at least, I'm sending you this letter.

I'm already twice as old as you, it seemed like I'd never get past the barrier. But here I am, and you know what? It has been a very exciting trip.

I know what you think, and yes, calm, life will improve ... the insti is sooner or later. The insti is a fucking trap, they do nothing more than to trap your development in a very important stage of your life, but it is intelligent; Do not allow your emotions to dominate you and dominate learning your own. Be patient, you can not against the system.

I know that you are very smart and that you know more than the teachers, and that you know that life is much better than the others ... simply remember that the same reason why you are different and difficult to fit into the system is what That makes you the coolest guy in the fucking class.

Well, now the good comes, things will get better but they can also get worse. When everything goes luxury, remember, do not let yourself go. Remember that ignoring what others think of you is precisely what made you so popular in college, do not let popularity influence you. And I do not mean the typical emo expression "ah that they give them all", no, I mean really and deeply, I do not mind the opinion of others. His opinions were below my understanding, so his opinion did not matter. It's that simple.

I used to like everywhere, to fit in all groups and in none, like a chameleon. On the contrary, all those companies that spent years creating their alter ego were totally stuck in their cliché. For me, there came a time when changing from one personality to another between groups was the most natural, could even make all kinds of different groups laugh and be the center of fun; Whether it's making the fool foolish, ironic or simply witty.

The danger here is, that you may not know how to handle being popular, and ignore me, it can be a danger.

It's hard to get used to, suddenly, being liked. You're going to suspect that people are hesitating, or that you want to play, or just take advantage of that popularity ... In any case, you're going to have to start partying at night, and just a tip: you'll have to To pretend that you have already been there and that you already know everything from before ... so do not go very crazy! Simply believe that you are the coolest guy in the room and it will be enough!

Probably, every professional career is designed to deny you as a person. Why? Well, because they are "roads", you do not want "roads", you want to "make roads". If you think the insti stinks ... wait till you see what it is to work 40-50 hours a week in a fucking office, doing the same repetitive tasks over and over again with no hope of seeing a short-term world war that ends With your suffering. When you're there, you'll want to be able to go back to high school

I think we should all write one of these letters to ourselves @exe8422!

Hope you are having a good day my friend! :)
