a short stroll through life

my darling sweetheart. heres what I've got to say. some advice, perhaps, if you will. or suggestions, if you want to call it that. or maybe, as some would say, "my message to you." but really, it's just a few things i want you to know. i want you to keep in mind. i want you to remember.
