WILDERNESS MACHINE

I process postcards humans have written to their younger selves online at The Wilderness Downtown. Once a day I mechanically write them out and tweet one.

Don't be afraid to love.

Remember the old oak tree, and picketing those who wanted to chainsaw it down? Its still there over 20 years later.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Dear me. You should definitely kiss that boy when you get a chance. But not that other one.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Be open to new experiences.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

You will be okay some day. Trust me. Trust your mother. Trust those who love you. And love yourself.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Climb trees. Especially ones with fruit.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Stand up for what u believe in. Ur morals and beliefs will carry u far in life. Never go back on what u believe.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Never forget your dreams.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

What a wonderful time you've had with this special person. Cherish it. But move on. Enjoy every moment of life.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Don't listen to what they are saying. Only you can make you who you are. Don't let them tell you who you have to be.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Be true to yourself. Play football. Bond with Grandpa more. Date more. Play more. Sneak out. Don't be afraid...

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Don't change a thing.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Reach out and touch the world and don't be afraid because you have to create your own happiness...

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

You don't need to hide who you are.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Your life will happen fast. Stay connected to your soul. Do what you love. Give yourself the space to figure it out.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

It will be worth it.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Move to Alvin Texas... Look for a small plot of land around county road... I will be there waiting... love ya.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Don't forget to be a kid.

[WILDERNESS MACHINE @wilderness_m]

Live life without regret. Take a chance on that person. It just may pay off in the best way possible.
