I’ve always been rather sentimental when it comes time to turn a new leaf. Moments had, moments past, and moments lost. On New Year’s Eve 2000, just moments before the end of the millennium, I rushed into my bedroom and wrote myself a letter to opened in 10 years. Being a dramatic 15-year-old, I even cut a lock of my hair and spritzed the purple lined envelope with Tommy Girl. I read the letter on NYE 2010, and surprise, surprise, my life was nothing like I had envisioned in my teenage dreams. It was better.
