I know that you probably read about this kind of stuff all the time, but I feel like people need the constant reminder and encouragements, so here I am, telling you, that you should book the flight. Call that old friend. Now is the time to crop out the people who make your life miserable out of the picture. Dye your hair that color you’ve always dreamed of having. Tell that special someone that you like them, and tell them one more time, just in case they didn’t hear you. Eat that piece of cake. Not tomorrow. Not when you pass the exam. Now. Tell people you need them. Be so beautifully desperate that people can’t ignore you. And Smile. Smile a lot. Don’t postpone joy. I know that people tend to think that doing all that straightforward stuff and putting themselves out there is risky, but there’s far more risky thing to do and that’s giving happiness a rain check.
