My Personal narrative that is most likely garbo

By me responding to this I am going to write about this prompt don't really know if that is what is wanted or not but I don't really care I'm doing it. By the way I am going to respond to multiple prompts making on reflection. (22 14 27 21) not in that order. This will be a message type of dealio to older me and younger me if he could read it.

Dear  younger Alexander Morgan Harlan, you will soon learn that family is more important than you think. For most of your younger years you will try and be that lone wolf that you always wanted to b because honestly you don't want to have to rely on people. STOP that as soon as you possibly can, because me oh my will it cripple your social life. Be open and weird don't be afraid of being what you actually are the people that stick around and put up with you will become such close friends that they are pretty much a part of your family. Do your work because it will pay off by not having all hell rain down on you when your parents see you have 37 outstanding assignments in Latin. Also don't make the point that you have a high B because that gets you grounded for a while and that sucks. Listen to your parents when they tell you that if you every want to try anything illegal to ask them first so they know to be expecting a call for help. 

Dear older Alexander Morgan Harlan, remember those old people you thought belonged in a museum? Well now you should know that you are also one of those prehistoric people. Don't do what everyone did to you as a child and assume because you were born in a new generation that you are just like the rest of the people in your generation. NO not everyone born in the twenty first century will grow up and be able to become a technology wizard. Also don't assume that just because they look like the do insane amounts of drugs that they actually do use drugs. Trust me if you don't recall that it really sucked. Remember all of those people  that accepted you for who you really are. Yup if they weren't your family they are now. They will help you through tough times now just like they did your eight grade year.
