Week Seventeen -- April 14, 2014 -- Prompt 5
5. Write a letter to your younger self or older self, what will you tell them?

Dear G. B.,

While you are still young, you should take a lot more risk.  Don’t overdo it, but add more spice.  Walk on the wild side, but don’t jump off bridges.  Do every single thing you want to do that will not kill you because opportunity for those things only come once.

Getting old is not all that it is cracked up to be.  There are aches and pain, and loss of love ones.  Things change, and not always for the better.  Have your ten children.  Yeah you will struggle to raise them, but in the end, your family will be the family you wanted, and you will be glad that you did. 

Freedom is in the mind, actions, and deeds that you choose to have and enjoy.  No one can imprison you but you.  So soar.  Soar as high as your mind can take you, and then soar some more.  You are the master of your destiny.

Flaunt your face in polite society, and stick with the underlings, they are a lot more fun, and just might have the right idea on living.  Be a lot freer.  Although, the life you have lived is somewhat of a fairy tale, there is much more that you could have done had you known what you know today. 
Above all live, love, sing, dance, and enjoy every minute that you have while you are single.  Don’t rush to be an adult.  That will come, and it will last forever.  Responsibility is forever yours once you reach that golden age of adulthood.

So, G. B., get out there and do you.  Don’t be afraid.  You can make it in front of all odds.  Take the ride, it is well worth it.
Sincerely,
G. B.
