Some things you learn only by loneliness.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, 

for I am lonely and afflicted.

Psalm 25:16

––––––––

Dear Me,

You don’t need a chain wallet

you need Johnny Cash

in the future no one will play hacky sack

learn a language instead

don’t obsess over Bighead Ed’s sister

she won’t love you back

in fact don’t obsess over anyone

you’ll miss out on being young

which is an accomplishment

drinking won’t stop anxiety

just makes it slower

you worry God will send down lightning for one slip

but each time you fall you hit a cushion of love

sometimes you’ll even feel it

don’t worry about not getting what you want

there’s another plan

you win by losing

you burn through panic to get to the calm

it’s waiting for you

some things you learn only by loneliness

there’s still time to pick up an instrument

Crowbar and Plankfoot are not good role models

they believe the universe is empty

the universe is not empty

Talk soon,

Justin
