Dear Me at 16,
There are so many things I would tell you if I could. The main one, though, is that in just a few years, your mom will be your best friend. There are things now that I regret in our relationship, such as the way I didnít listen to her about Matt. Sheís right--he is not good for you. He treats you horribly, and ultimately, heís not worth the strain that he causes on your relationship with mom. If nothing else, be respectful when sheís giving you advice. Mom is amazing. Sheíll have no trouble forgiving you--chocking it up to teenage indepedence. Now, she never brings it up. Just... Love on her. Sheís amazing.
