a bunch of random things life has taught me in no particular order:
happy moments should be cherished, not over-thought
people will come and go no matter how long you wait for them or how badly you want them to stay
making new friends opens up whole new worlds
apologies can make all the difference
random acts of kindness can change someone’s day from bad to bearable
the only person you’re stuck with is you so learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself
sometimes the worst people for us are the ones we think are the best
it’s not selfish to be personally hurt by something and anyone who tells you otherwise probably feels guilty themselves
the world can feel ugly at times, but don’t overlook the beautiful things or they may just not be there one day
tell people you love that you love them even if you think it’s implied
don’t betray your friends
being yourself takes time since change happens often, so it’s okay to not know who you are at any given time
never give up on your dreams or you’ll regret all the things you could’ve done
don’t ever lose yourself in the name of love
life has its highs and lows, so be prepared for how low the lows can be
do things spontaneously— just for the fun of it
better to regret than to wonder “what if” forever
always make sure people know you’re there for them
there’s never a perfect time, and if you wait too long, you lose your chance
everyone has shit going on in their lives, so be kind to people
always be thankful for the people who have stuck around
don’t waste time beating yourself up over things you can’t change
if you’re trying to decide between holding on and letting go, it’s probably time to let go
