Dear Fourteen-Year-Old Chad,

Here's a lesson you're going to learn in a few years' time. Being the greatest actor of our generation comes with its own downfalls.

One of them is named Sonny Munroe.

You're going to meet her soon. She's going to be wearing a fat suit, but you'll be so distracted by her adorable smile and bubbly laugh that you'll hardly notice. She will be annoyingly happy about everything. Mostly, you'll wonder why she gives you this weird feeling like someone is squeezing your chest, like you can't breathe and every single thought you have is about her.

I would like to inform you that this is the beginning of possibly the best three years of your life. You and Sonny will become friends. You'll go on one really bad date, but then you'll go on another date and it will be the most perfect night you could imagine. And then she'll start calling you her boyfriend. You'll call her your girlfriend. Those words will give you that feeling again, like your heart is being held by someone with a really strong grip. But this time it's not a bad feeling, it's a good one, because you'll know that she feels the same way. And she'll make you so incredibly happy. You'll spend a lot of time with her and unfortunately the other Randoms will be around too, but you'll tolerate them.

Here's the thing, though. Right when you start getting serious about your relationship, when you start to realize that the feelings you have for her are more intense than you could have imagined, you'll be forced to make a really huge decision that will change your life. You'll be offered a movie deal that will send you to Europe.

Here's my advice to you. Don't take the job. Wait for something more local to come around. Because if you go to Europe, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life. You're going to regret leaving Sonny. You'll live the rest of your life knowing that you broke her heart, and you'll have broken your own simultaneously. It's not worth it, man. Believe me. It's not.

Sincerely, Eighteen-Year-Old Chad


Hey everyone! I know this is really different, but I had this idea and thought it would be cool to try. This is going to be an on-going series, each part related but not necessarily in order or about the same person. Please review and let me know what you think! :)
