Dear Allison
Don't listen to them. They will tell you to be practical, to envision what your older self would want or need.
Let me tell you something; she will be bitter and cynical just like them. Do what makes you
happy. Don't be stupid, don't do something harmful or illegal. Follow your dreams. It may never be
too late, but don't waste these years, don't waste your time like that.
Also, you are so much better at essay writing than you give yourself credit. Don't compare
yourself to others. Just because you don't worship Ginsberg or think The Catcher in the Rye is the
best novel in the world doesn't mean that you are bad at English. If you need help ask for it, don't be
afraid of other peoples reaction. It doesn't have to be perfect the first time and you don't have to have
your homework done before you get home.
Flash cards are your friend, stick with French and voice lessons. If it gives you joy don't stop.
Be Brave.
Love
your 29 year old self
