Dear Human of the World,
1) If you ever feel like nothing, like a small speck on the globe, do something for a stranger. Do something good, something which makes them smile. The more people’s lives you touch, the bigger you’ll feel.
2) If you ever feel alone, watch a few sunsets each week. You’ll come to peace with what you feel, and you’ll feel like you’re a part of something beautiful.
3) If you ever feel devastated about something in your life, pour yourself a cup of tea, sit down in front of a mirror and talk it out with yourself before you talk to anyone else. That way you’ll know what you’re truly feeling, you need to understand yourself before anyone else can.
4) At the beginning of each year, use two jars, one to host your bad memories and another to host your good ones. Write down anything memorable and put them into their respective jars. At the end of the year, open the good jar and read each memory. Pour out the bad jar and burn each memory. You survived those bad things, they’re insignificant now.
5) If you feel heartbroken, write whoever did this to you a letter. Pour every piece of what you feel out. And no, don’t send it to them. They don’t deserve to know the extent of your heartbreak.
6) The most important thing about life is to live it. You won’t feel alive otherwise. Dance with your arms flailing everywhere, sing off key and love it, take notice of everything surrounding you, kiss with passion, run faster than your heartbeat, smile at people, express yourself. The more you restrict yourself from things you want to do, the less you’ll be living.
7) This is your life. You’ve got this.
