Sometimes, I wish I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself when I was 18.
First of all, I'd prove it's me by saying "look inside your Samsonite, there's a porn named Nurses; disk A to C and a Playboy magazine, no one else knows you hid it there.
And then I'd say; I know its tough being 18, especially When you break up after 11 months...
And yes I know you really liked her and it just don't
seem fair but all I can say is a pain like that is fast and it's rare.
I know at 18 it's hard to see past Friday night but she wasn't right for you and still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back and you're wondering if you'll survive it, trust me, you'll make it through this and a couple of more heartbreaks along this cold boulevard called love, just keep walking you'll see...
At the East West road junction,
always stop completely, don't just tap the brakes and when you get a date with Dorcas, make sure the car tank is full
but On second thought forget it, that one turned out kinda cool. *winks*
Each time you have a quarrel with Dad, just assume you're wrong and he's right! Because a father won't give his child stone when he asks for bread.
And you should really thank Aunty Bertha, She spent so much extra time on you, It's like she saw a diamond underneath and she polished you until you shone
In some months time is Chinyei's birthday party but you stayed at home instead because you failed Maths in your mock exams
Mum and Dad would kill!!!
But trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
Fejiro, you have got so much up ahead, brace yourself for your new personality Mike Litoriz, sounds cool right?
Damn! You should see your kids & wife, they are so proud of your accomplishments and these are nowhere near the best years of your life!
I'll end up here saying "HAVE NO FEAR" The universe ALWAYS has a way of balancing things out...
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. "There's something called Google"
I wish you learn Spanish
I wish you learn Efik
I wish you ate more beans
I wish you took a shorthand class
I wish you won't toy with your hair, it just speeds up your balding
I wish you wouldn't worry too much, just let things be...
Young man! Just have a little faith and you'll see....
If I could only write a letter to me.... *sighs*
Totally relateable....LOL @ "P.S. "There's something called Google"
