Advice to Denise at age 5:
1. Stop thinking everything will be forever, love your family more than anything, cos once you discover how bad they can be, you'll may miss that love.
Age 6:
2. Believe me, even if there IS someone watching you, they won't catch you.
Age 7:
3. Try to trust people now, you still have no reasons for not. Don't bite your dad's cheek,he is not going to kill you and you may never forget it.
Age 8:
4. I know you think life can't be worse, but hey, these are your first troubles and I would advice you for welcoming them.
Age 10:
5. Read as much books as you can, and I'm not sure if it's a good advice, but if you keep on this way, you'll have by 15 a mind that your parents won't by 50, so, if don't want to get really gloomy and confused in three years, put the poetry away and go study some math, it we'll be useful someday.
Age 12:
6. Believe me, someone will in fact love you, and all the drama is only making you worse, let the depression with you only until there's nothing left to learn. Don't try to make anyone understand you, the only way to be understood is when you find someone really LIKE YOU, then you'll understand by heart.
Age 13:
7. I see you chose the hard way, so put in this hard head of yours: your parents WILL NEVER understand you, don't make them suffer, and you won't suffer too. Please, give all the love you can to K. he's the only person in the world that will make you feel loved, he's the best friend you'll ever have. Go study abroad, you'll never know what beautiful things this can bring, even peace. STOP FUCKING WITH YOUR HAIR, or it will be so harmed in two years, that will break and fall and then you'll never have that long hair you always wanted.
Age 14:
8. No, you won't give up the "living of poetry" dream, please, know that you won't have anything with Christian, he'll become you 'muse', and it's the best you could ever want. I know you only cried for him one time, but don't get mad, he gave you more than he'll ever know, be grateful.
Age 15:
9. You may find this strange but: Do more sex and think less about love, you know you wish more the great romances in your head and books than a stupid jerk. You will find one, exactly like the ones in your head and books, and like Christian, and this one is real. But like that others im books he'll make you suffer like your heart is being cutted in 'a million furry holes' (no, you won't stop listening to Cure). But he's sincere, believe me, it's worth. From that on: Honey, keep that promise you made when you were about 10, that you would live every little experience there is to live, stop staying asleep all day. FOR LOVES SAKE, when you're at bed and have that GREAT idea, WRITE IT DOWN, it won't be there by tomorrow. Take all the fucking drugs you want to, but make sure you won't hurt anyone. As for K. now that you feel like you too will never be the same, DO SOMETHING, instead of being so stupid, send him a letter call him, maybe there's still a chance you can make it real again. Discover it before the answer comes and break yout heart, that awful answer.
