For those of you who don’t know, my name is Katie and I am over at Don’t Call Me Kathleen.

Hi. Hello. Nice to meet you.

In the 12 years that I had English class, I can’t tell you how many “Group Writing” topics were “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” I never saved any of my journals from school. I wish that I had. I had a lot of dreams, and aspirations, but I can pretty much assure you that none of my responses to the question were “Single, unemployed, and living in a recessed economy.” If I was able to predict THAT, I wouldn’t have bought all of those butterfly hair clips, POGS, and mood rings, and I would have stock piled my allowance money. Despite the lack of concern with marital, employment, and economic statuses, I had my own issues that I was dealing with. Through the difficulty, I would have loved to have a bit of inspiration letting me know what direction to go in. A hint or two, at the very least.

If you were able to communicate with your younger self, what would you say? Would you warn yourself of the things that are to come? Would you tell yourself to avoid certain people? Write a letter to yourself at a younger age. Feel free to tell yourself anything that you’d like to. Let us know what age of yourself you are writing to.

What the heck does this have to do with the writing themed-blog, Katie? - I LOVE all of your blogs, and I love seeing your creativity. I’m here to defy normal expectations. This is just to get those mental juices going. Writing is about creativity, isn’t it? Now get to it! (Please!) I’ll help you start off:

Dear SELF,
