To my younger self, Pick up sewing. Mend your clothes. Make new ones so old fabric gets another chance. Join a group that talks up creativity and usefulness, and doesn't pick at fashion trends. Borrow to get started but loan once you're set. Share fabric with others. Sew things together. Accept new styles. Pull out an old coat. Cut off the back. Use the strips and make pockets deep enough. Fill them with threads and safety pins clinging to scraps you're fond of. Discard papers scrawled with insults and old homework slips, but keep the numbers of people who listen. Your pockets aren't for hands nor mere trinkets
