1. Write a damn letter.

Kirk Cameron in all his Growing Pains glory was the ideal crush. Unthreatening, goofy, good kid with very reasonable weekly conflicts. And a good smile. Always been a sucker for that.

I am going to have amazing posture. My neck will look so skinny just from the way I hold my head.

Help.

I’m a sucker for an interesting woman, so Notorious RBG is obviously my sort of book.

I’ve developed a fast and furious passion for the new Daily Show host, Trevor Noah.

Really, you should thank me. I’m just protecting your future self.

Being a person of faith isn’t cool. It is very personal to me and not something I like to talk about a lot, which goes counter to the whole idea of ‘sharing the good news of the gospel.’
