“I advise remaining young at heart but wise in action. Being an adult doesn't mean being boring, but it does mean taking on responsibility for what you can and leveraging it to your advantage for the benefit of yourself and those around you.

It means thinking of the future, of how you can positively impact those who have yet to come. It means thinking before you bite.”

They come up the throat and flip around between my lips and teeth- finally swimming around the room as the cracking whip of wit. And words often die upon entering the surface- only memory of feeling lives on. Sometimes as a ghost, sometimes as a blessing. But I (neurotic) stare at the tip of my nose when I speak, trying to see the words flying out. Despite my expert eye I am never quite sure how they will land
