[ WP ] Write a letter to your thirteen-year-old self

Hey. 
 
 Man. Where to start? First off, I'm writing this 13 years later. So this is almost double the length of time you've been around. I'll try not to go too deep, or spoil anything. Still, I do have some things I wish I did better. 
 
 1 ) Study. Actually work at school. I know you can coast along and do it at the last minute. Hell, it's what I did. But do n't. It will pay off later. Try picking up a language too, to fluency. I know you hate French, but the effort and the practise would train you to get something worthwhile. 
 
 2 ) Do some fucking exercise. I know, I know. We're naturally skinny and have a great metabolism and can pretty much get away with eating shit. Still, it's the same as the above. You need some discipline in your life. Plus you'll get some muscles and not be such a dork. 
 
 3 ) Do n't worry about being a dork. Sorry, kind of counterproductive to the previous remark. But still, really. Do what you love. Stick at it. You have so many things you can do if you put your mind to it. Do that. Get hobbies and skills. Keep reading, keep gaming... but please just pick up something practical. 
 
 4 ) There will be girls. You will love them to bits. And they will leave you. There are three that will be special. The third one, you do n't let her go. Because you took your eye off the ball on that one. DO N'T. Do that one better and the rest is peachy. 
 
 5 ) You are going to realise shortly that the world is a nasty place run by a bunch of corrupt bastards. Do n't let it keep you awake at night. 
 
 The more I think about the rest, the more I realise that a lot of my recent stuff is on my mind ( that third girl? Less than a month ago. Sucks... ). So I will just add one more thing. Travel. See foreign shores. Meet people. Listen to them. Learn another language. Take care of your friends. 
 
 Love yourself.
