Hello, I know I shouldn't have to introduce myself for obvious reasons but it's apparent to me that we can so readily change who we are in that matter of a few years we are a completely distinct being from what we once are but enough about me I'm living me and you lived it we know about me what are you like now? can you even answer that can you look at yourself in the mirror how much do you lie how much do you hate yourself these aren't fair questions i know completely inappropriate for a job interview i get it you've changed i feel the fetus that is you nestled inside of me waiting to come out you are not innocent none of us are but you especially you claim to be something you're not you gleefully toe the line between good and bad blissfully confident of your place there is no line we both know that but you toe it anyway why am i so accusatory? me? YOU JUDGE ME you of all people the person I have become YOU JUDGE ME no I won't have it Monsters. They tell us why they are interesting "because they weren't always monsters" ******** a caterpillar is still a butterfly they are one in the same just because something changed doesn't mean you changed I get it you blame me for you i get it well what do you want what could I do to make you happy to make you better to make you.... loveable do the right thing most of the time when you can do the right thing help people as a matter of self respect educate yourself when others fail too be fair be strong yes but don't forget to be fair money doesn't matter having enough matters sure but you don't need a yacht be the smartest man in the room even when you know you're not treat the homeless with respect they are the ones that need it the most respect common sense before religion respect contentness before exhilaration don't eat when a waiter is at the table don't let your good idea lose to a popular one never let someone intimidate you unless they have a gun love love unconditionally let your heart be broken so that one day someone can help put it out together don't settle unless you know you should never become a cynic please never do that be better than me future self please I will do my best to make it so I hope one day you will read this with a smile knowing that you became the person that I doubted you could
