Always say yes to seeing friends. Take pictures of the sky when it looks pretty, it probably won’t ever look like that again. Self harm scars are battle scars. Chop off your hair if you want, it will grow back eventually. Spare a change, you know where your money is coming from, they don’t. Sleep under six blankets with the fan on high in the middle of the winter, the sound is soothing. Talk less, observe often. Say sir/ma’am even if youre the ceo. When you apologize, mean it, don’t ruin it with an excuse. Raise your hand when you know the answer, even if the class is all upperclassmen. Unclench your jaw and relax your shoulders. Read that book again, you’ll notice something you didn’t the first time. Teachers are gods, we should respect them. Bring a lighter even if you don’t smoke. Try to talk to people, it won’t kill you. Compliment someone everyday. Always look for the good in everything and everyone. Don’t fucking litter, and pick up the trash even if it wasn’t you. Open the sunroof when it’s raining and just listen. Change might be terrifying but it’s good. For each pay check at least save $100, for emergencies. Home cooked meals are better than ordering take outs. Take your mama where ever she wants to go, because sooner or later she won’t be able to. Palliative care is heart breaking, always hold their hand and tend to their needs. Plant trees. Always choose yourself above anything and anyone else.
