I recently received, well, at Christmas, a little book that consists of letters well-known names have written to their sixteen year-old bodies. What I found was a familiar and repetitive theme throughout the pages. So much advice they gave themselves regarded the importance of working hard; of not giving up just because obstacles occur (they cannot be avoided so just learn how to deal with them); of learning from mistakes because ultimately it's how we pick ourselves back up that's significant; of not marrying every rockstar you ever date (uh-huh, quite a few touched on this!).

What I found was inspiration. Advice that I could take myself, or alternatively ignore and learn life via my own path. What I'll do with this knowledge is unknown. What I'll do with this knowledge is beyond me and, it's a little exciting.
