It turns out Day Four is
List Five Things You Would Tell Your 16 Year Old Self
Ha ha. . .since i am feeling about 14 today. . .this is perfect.
1. It is okay to like your own thing. This goes for music, art, books, boys, friends and movies. I was a follower, which is not bad, but it didn't really let me be me. It took me several years into college before I really started forming original opinions about things.
2. Take every opportunity to try something new.
3. Keep trying even if it is hard. I tend to not keep working at something if I don't see at least a glimmer of beginner's luck. Even now.
4. Be more involved with your siblings. You will regret not being a better sister.
5. Help your mom more. Be nice to her. You are not smarter than she is. Seriously.

Wow. I wouldn't change a single one for me, especially the one about being a follower. I wish I hadn't cared so much about what I THOUGHT people would think about me, because the reality is that they didn't or that I would be the only one who would remembered. How many opportunities I wasted because of it...
Dear Meg,
a. please keep writing on your blog. I love your writing! It makes me laugh!
b. your Hawaii email was the best thing ever! I carried it in my backpack and followed it religiously!
c. Kimos is my new love, and I dream of eating their fresh fish cooked in basil/butter/lemon sauce, and hula pie.
d. we should get together soon!
