Past advice for the future

Recently I fell into conversation with a friend about some sound advice she had given me in the past. I told her that only now do I feel I'm starting to carry through on that advice. Or to put it another way, only now do I feel I'm capable of following it. When I recounted what it was she wrote back how funny it was to think back on it, and how she feels that the advice she is wont to give has changed over the years. I replied that it would seem to signify personal growth.

It reminded me, too, of the high school assignment some teachers give to write a letter to yourself 10 years from now. I can't remember if I was actually assigned that, or if hearing about it so much has led me to believe I was. If it was assigned to me, I'm not sure my teacher ever sent the letter to me though maybe the postage just got to be too expensive.
