Letter to my 16 yr old self

First and foremost don't be afraid.

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, you are not alone- not even close. The first gay bar you go into the women will seem menacing and fatally unattractive, which is really an insult to unattractive people, just know its not all like that...

The best job you will ever have will be working in the library at law school. Try to enjoy it more.

Along that same line, don't date from 1989-1992, its three years, believe me - skip it.

You will have the opportunity to go to Paris in 1989 and to Veracruz in 2003, don't take either trip- its not what you think its going to be and it will just piss you off.

When you are somewhere and there are obnoxious children give the parents the benefit of the doubt, most likely they are both motified and exhausted.

Don't fight with either one of your Grandmothers.

Its good to keep it at around 4 pets in TOTAL.

Try to not be petty, especially with your family and friends.

At different times you will have a BMW a Mercedes and a Range Rover, and it is really very cool, and although money is isn't the end all, it beats the shit of not having money, yet you'll find the best part about having a great car will be loaning it to your dad drive it.

Buy stock in a company called Microsoft...

Some amazing things are going to happen to you later in life, and you will eventually feel close to whole. Marry only for love.

Take more pictures of your self in bathing suits.

Tell Joe not to kill himself. I'm not sure it will matter, but at least you will know you did it and it wont haunt you later on. Trust your instincts.

Every woman is a few margaritas away from lesbianism. Eventually you will discover this and use it to your advantage, just letting you know...

The hardest thing you will ever do is not be true to who you are, don't be so hard on yourself-

And you will never pick a winner of the Kentucky Derby, just accept it.
