High Heels

Sometimes I will write letters to myself in the future, just to make sure Future Allie knows Past Allie was thinking of her.
I haven't really done so much letter writing to Past Allie, but here are some things I would tell my past high-school self  that she probably wouldn't believe:

1. You will not always feel like throwing up in the morning. You can even smell eggs in the morning without dry-heaving. In fact, now you can even EAT them for breakfast! Yay!

2. Somewhere between 2011 and 2014, your favorite color will change from orange-y coral to turquoise.

3. The ability to work from home is not as prevalent as it appears.
(Choose a different profession. Please. Something related to IT/computers. Or something in real estate. You know, either/or. I'm not picky; I would just like to not work until 8 pm on holidays.)

4. You will be able to sing in front a microphone without crying! In fact, you will be a part of a SWEET BAND called the Uncommon Pear and perform in local venues all around town. All you will have to bring is your guitar, your voice, and probably a peanut butter sandwich. You won't be famous, but it'll be a pretty sick gig.

5. You will not marry your high school sweetheart. *GASP* I know, right? Shocking. It's ok. Your husband is actually way cooler.

6. You still enjoy coloring from time to time.

7. Dude. Sushi. It's so much better now than it ever was before. Try the philly roll and you will never look back. Sushi is love. Sushi is life. Also, Indian food will change your life (in a good way, I promise).

8. You can do push-ups and pull-ups now.

9. One day, you will randomly go to Turkey for a week and that small amount of German you know at the time will come in handy.

10. You no longer have an appendix.
