Advice to MaryJo at age 14.5 and again at 16 (cause I need to hear it twice):
1. wait until you are older, just a few more years, I know it seems like it would be better just to get it over with now...but believe me, you will thank me for it later.
2. Don't go out with Jamie at all in fact, go out with Mike instead...he's in love with you and will be so kind to you and treat you with respect. You won't have to wait until you're 30 to know what love really is.
3. yes, you are right. Your father is living a double life. you are not the one who is crazy. everyone else is pretending. You can tell t hem if you choose to. I think you should make your own life better by choosing to surround yourself with good people.
4. Drop all of the bad friends.
5. Focus on the people who love you.
6. Understand that your mother had always been preoccupied with the things that are wrong with her life and you can be a strong person for her.
7. You are an artist.
8. Go to art school- take drawing, sculpture, get a video camera NOW - make a movie of your life in New Jersey....see where you live? It isn't ordinary....and neither are YOU.
9. get a film camera and never ever put it down.
10. capture every moment of your life and begin to keep a journal - someday you will make a movie about it.
11. apply to art schools.
12. Go to a town in Pennsylvania and look up a guy called Pete - even if you don't end up there.
13. Don't get mixed up with the WRONG people in college.
14. don't ever try drugs.
15. learn to love cats earlier.
16. learn to drive a stick shift car earlier.
17. read more books - research more - think more - go to the library.
18. appreciate your self more.
19. be a teacher and an artist.
20. don't take out student loans and credit cards. Save your money and don't listen to your parents when it comes to money - they don't know what they're talking about.
