Ex-Dance Gavin Dance frontman/failed Macbook salesman Jonny Craig has penned a letter to his younger self as part of what appears to be an ongoing feature hosted by Rocksound.tv.

You can read an excerpt of what he had to say below:

“Dear Jonny,

Don’t worry about those first janky tattoos you got back in the day for fun. You’ll get many, many more that look pretty sick. Oh, and you still know it all.

Alright, all cockiness aside, you only know most of it. But that’s because you’ve made a grip of mistakes. Sometimes the only way to find things out for yourself is to learn the hard way. No regrets, every decision we’ve made has made me who I am today, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

You can only straddle that line for so long before ending up on the wrong side of it.

Never take your fans, family, or loved ones for granted. From day one, their unconditional love is what will see you through on dark days…”
