I don't know that I could pick one age to write to.  If I could cheat and write a letter to my younger self at each point of life-crisis (dad's death at 12, step-family at 13, birth-mom shows up at 20), thath would be useful.  But I think if I chose one age, it would be 20 or 21.  And I'd warn my younger self not to waste so much time trying to be in the perfect "cool" scene.  To have more self respect and not sleep around.  Not to waste years "safe dating" people not good enough for me.  And not to spend all my money on unworthy people just to try to make them happy (read "make them like me").&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You rock.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7285196124517690048/5267754563673662554/comments/default/8313217696100015601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7285196124517690048/5267754563673662554/comments/default/8313217696100015601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sarakastic.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-arent-best-judge-of-character.html?showComment=1172156580000#c8313217696100015601' title=''/><author><name>LEstes65</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15963146455105319876</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03155484714175431101'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sarakastic.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-arent-best-judge-of-character.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285196124517690048.post-5267754563673662554' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7285196124517690048/posts/default/5267754563673662554' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
