To a Little Bird

Dear LB,
     The future is different then you think it will be.  You haven't seen The Butterfly Effect yet (though it is one of your favorite movies) but the concept is very important.  Every action affects the future, every action determines the course of your life.  Although they are not mistakes, but some situations will shape your future and make you the person that you are going to be.
1. Do not stick blue play-doh up your nose in the third grade...it hurts really bad and you will have blue snot for a week.
2. Do not give Jeanette such a hard time when she babysits you, she is a nice girl.
3. Do not hold such high standards for people, you will only get lonely...though do set good standards for yourself.
4. When you go to interviews, zip your fly.
5. Remember that people love you, someone out there always does, even though it is hard to see,
6. Do not trust boys, but give them a chance.
7. Try eggs with tabasco sauce, they actually taste good that way and people will think your food tastes are a bit more normal.
8. Do not paint your room purple...you will hate it within a year.
9. Push yourself in everything, but just as long as you try your best to not be disappointed.
10. Don't believe lies, but don't call people out on them either, it just makes things difficult.

I hope you grow up to be as strong and driven as I know you are.

Love,
Birdie
