Dear Kid,
A new year is here and you’ve done plenty well in the old. As you move forward now, continue on with that wild enthusiasm and take with you not things but remembrances of times that will otherwise be forgotten. Old as you may become, never lose that thirst for adventure, the willingness to learn, and acceptance of things you’ve got no power to change. In the end, your skin will wilt and replaced by dust so you might as well enjoy your time. I thought about this a lot after reading a magazine article on pre-historic humans. In the article, there were photographs of perfectly preserved skulls; they were beautiful not in the dark or morbid way. They were beautiful mostly because encased in those had once been the thoughts and ideas of people. This, too, will be your fate. I hate to admit, but I too feel weary at the thought of this, but as I previously had said, accept the things you’ve got no power to change. Strive for happiness for the time being and try to find in this world the things that make your visit worthwhile.
