#VendorLetters: Two Big Issue North vendors reflect on being 25-years-old

INSP has been asking vendors from across the street paper network to write letters to their 25-year-old self to mark the end of INSP’s 25th anniversary year. 38-year-old Nicolae and 48-year-old Dave are both Big Issue North vendors. Here are their contributions.

Nicolae

Get married, have a family and build a house. Don’t forget to take care of your parents. Get to know God, it might help you make better decisions.

Dave

I wish things would have been different and if I could go back in time, I would go back to school and change the mistakes I made. I thought I knew better but I didn’t. You should take time to listen to advice from people and not jump in feet first.
