A basic understanding of math and science is essential to citizenship in the modern world.

Dear Sara at 20:

1. That thing you feel all the time is called instinct and it’s your best friend. It works. Go for it.
2. You do not have to wear outfits you do not feel comfortable in just because it’s the usual, the standard, the expected, or what everyone else is doing.
3. Your insatiable new media addiction is a gift, you just don’t know it yet.
4. Your parents love you a lot, in fact (take some responsibility sooner rather than later).
5. You are your own litmus test.
6. Amazing people are all around.

Thanks Danielle – and (speaking of truth) thanks for White Hot Truth. I’ve been reading it for a few years now, and most of the time you take the words right out of my mouth. Quite comforting, and odd at the same time!

I’m going home tonight to do just that, if simply to remember age isn’t all that depressing – you learn a lot of great stuff along the way!
