Write a letter to yourself as a child.

Dear Self from 1888,

Man, will you PLEASE open a book? Talk to Carl? Go to a whorehouse? SOMETHING? This is NUTS! You cannot be this backwards forever. Yeah, I know, big bad Dracula to kill. Fine. Kill him. Don't worry about Anna. Her family's fine. Just - DO SOMETHING.

Okay, you want something useful? Carl is your new best friend. If he says something, listen. If he tells you something, do it. He reads. He knows things. Listen to him.

Yeah, I know you're not a kid, but really, close enough. Wiped memory, living the life they've instructed you to live? Get away. Now. While you still have time.

I wish someone had told me that when I was where you are. Would've saved me a hell of a lot of bullshit over the last century or so. Just trust me on this one. You'll thank me later.


Good luck,

Me from 2005
