1. You dont owe anyone anything. If someone or something doesn't contribute to your life/happiness then it's okay to take a break from them.
2. All your love will never be enough to make someone get clean, love them anyway. But at the same time (1). Its okay to love someone from a distance.
3. When a friend asks you for help you help them if you can but dont enable.
4. It's okay to be lost and not know what you're doing with your life. You are right where you're supposed to be and if all you did today was survive, or make someone smile, that's enough.
5. Love is not finite, its boundless. Love as much as you can as often as you can.
6. Everyone feels alone sometimes, but you're not. I promise you you're not.
7. Know what makes you weak and own it. No one ever got better by staying in their comfort zone.
8. Keep an open mind but dont ever let go of your values because...
9. If it feels right it's right and if it feels wrong it's wrong. Listen to your gut. (Unless you're a psycho)
10. Never judge a person by what they have or how they look, judge them by how they treat others and you'll never misjudge someone.
11. You'll waste your life making excuses
12. Pay attention to who checks on you. They hold the lanterns that will guide you through your darkest days.
13. Just because you've known them forever doesn't mean they get a pass on hurting you.
14. Speak your truth even if no one listens. You'll hear you and that's all that really matters in the end.
15. Being alone and feeling lonely, even when its overwhelming, is sometimes exactly what you need.
16. Dont let your pride take precedence over love. If you feel prideful, you're probably wrong.
17. Theres a difference between pride and integrity.
18. It's okay to say no, even if you feel like a bad person after.
19. Even if you feel guilty about a decision doesn't mean it was the wrong decision.
20. Just do it. Theres never one time you will do something you've been putting off and at the end feel worse after doing it.
21. It's good when you're scared, it means you're about to do something that will make you feel more alive than you were before.
22. Take every I Love You to heart. Despite what we might think, someone telling you they love you means something and by them saying it you should know you changed they're life somehow someway and that's all we really have to give to the world.
