Talking to My Past

Okah, so, haven't been on as much I have intended to be and here's why:

1. I am working 3 jobs this summer! Yes, three! And only two are simply fantastic and the other just sucks out my soul everytime I kiss Andrew goodbye to come to it.

2. I have nothing to talk about wedding wise. And I kind of lost the wedding etiquette book I was working from, so meh...BUT I FOUND IT, after the library called me for the umpteenth time. Reminds me of the "Better Off Dead" paper boy..."Two dollars!" Okay...maybe not.

3. My life has been pretty boring.

4. I am soooo in love with Doctor Who. I want to officially apologize to Andrew for making fun of him for liking the show, because now I am so addicted, I find myself wearing my chucks more often, chattering(mostly in a singular sense) my teeth together when I make a point, saying bollocks, and feeling really bad about my life because I cannot, in fact, meet the Face of Boh or hear the Tardis apporaching.

5. I spend so much time on the computer at my mom's office that when I do get some me time, I hate the internet!


So, I have been following this kid's vlog on YouTube, and he made a fantastic video about 10 things I would tell myself 10 years ago if I were able to go back in time. So...here they are in letter form.


Dear 11-year-old Morgan,

First off, I know you're a little worried about the whole 2000 thing and the world ending, and whatnot, but save your stomach ulsars for later, but you will live past 2000, 2001, and the other doosmday days, and stop watching the History Channel-TODAY! I'm not going to tell you why, but History Channel will ruin your life, promise you.

Now, I want you to know, boys are stupid and you should start throwing rocks at them NOW! Just kidding. There will be quite a few stupid boys you have to look forward to, promise, and all but one will break your heart, and I'm just saying this one time, avoid boys that have red hair! Avoid them!

Do not take it seriously when these middle school girls pick on you for reading and being booksmart. I know where they are now, and you should know, everytime they make fun of you, just laugh in their faces and for about...8 years they'll wonder why and then get the joke of it all.

Take SAT prep. Done!

Everytime mom gives you money for allowance, save it up in an account. You will one day have a very scary thing in your life called a mortgage. Just know that it is the devil and will take your sunshine and rainbows away every time you see money leave your account.

Run, walk, bike, I don't care what you do, but you need to stay active. It will save you a lot of ghastly pictures in the future. No you're not fat, darling, you're just uncomfortable to look at now.

Take every opportunity you get or else you will indeed regret a lot in the future.

Don't feel too depressed if you don't get a part in a play. Start taking voice lessons and acting classes TODAY!

There will be a day when the world is going to seem like it is coming to an end, but it's not. There will be loads of days like them, but you need to wake up and get back out there in the world, because life is not waiting on you.

You will grow up to be a sexy beast, I just need to put that out there. Hopefully, this will get you on the road to self-confidence rather quickly. And there is so many people here who are going to love you just as you are, quirks, faults, and all. So just live!


I love you very much,

Morgan 21


ps- Don't eat turket sandwiches in Thomson, you will thank me later.


So, now I want each of you to post a comment with what you'd say to your 10 year ago self, whatever that may be. It's a great way of reflecting on the things you've done and haven't done and really gices you insight in to how you should be living your life today! So get to it, my friends!
