My teacher in grade 9 made us sit down and write a letter to ourselves on the first day.
I remember my letter very well:
I was preoccupied with finding the whistle to get to the 7th(8th?) level in Legend of Zelda.
I was also in love with a girl, Bonnie. She did not know I existed.
I was scared about not making friends and being not cool.
At the end of the year, the teacher gave us our letters back and I remember thinking "THE WHISTLE?!?! Oh my god, that is so lame. Of course it is under the waterfall."
And I was infatuated with a different girl. About 10 different girls, if I remember correctly.
I think that I will write myself another letter. A top 10 list is very cool, but I have done that before and haven't achieved more than the first couple of things (including 'get beer' and 'grow a beard')
I am happy with myself, and the things that I have accomplished. Yes, I would like to do more, and am planning on doing some very cool things soon. For those that have read most of my posts, you will realize that most of the time I am happy just being alive and in one piece.
I am truly grateful.
Post Script: I would also like to be a director, but I have been on a movie set, and don't think that I could take the pressure. I would keep thinking to myself "This is costing me about a thousand bucks an hour!"
