Dear 1998 Me,

So the very funny gal Kristine over at Wait in the Van is featuring her "Product of Silence" series today. She explains the idea behind it all: "Each month (or so), I choose a passage, quote, poem, photograph, or event to inspire a post that will take me to a new place with my writing (I like funny, but I like writing, too).  I then begin the post by sharing that prompt." The prompt for this month was "a letter you never intend to send."

I kept trying to come up with clever ideas of whom to address this letter to. I could write to people in my past that wronged me, weird people that bother me in Germany, a long lost friend. But I kept coming back to my original idea; send a letter to your 14 year old self. I don't intend to send it, because, well, I can't. Sadly time travel has not yet been invented. So, I wrote a simple note to 9th grade me. Yep, just like ones I used to pass in the hallways back then. I hope she likes it, and I hope ya'll enjoy a little something different today :)
