Dear 16 year old self:
Yes, do learn to speak articulately in front of a crowd or to a group. Some people will perceive you as arrogant just for using words longer than two syllables, and others will think you’re loud for volunteering at all, but this is a life skill that will ultimately benefit you.
And keep at that creative writing stuff.
Dear 18 year old self:
No, what you are about to do right there, with your whole personal life, that’s actually a very, very bad idea.
Dear 22 year old self:
You probably should have learned how to do technical drawing. Though I’m picturing you in the class now, spacing out and hating it. Maybe take a class online or beg a friend to show you the ropes. It’s useful! For the randomest things. Including working in a creative capacity in the media and entertainment industry, but I guess you really like bagging groceries…
Also, stop reading tumblr at your internship. Follow that friendly grant writer around and study what she shows you closely.
