See the humor in everthing. Have as many best friends as possible. Get close to your parents and siblings. Don’t spend too much time worrying about things you cannot control. Learn from your pain, but don’t avoid it. Be Random. Dance, dance alone and dance with friends. Be grateful for everything. Work hard, own it. Forgive people for doing you wrong because someday you will need forgiveness, too. Don’t be scared of lonely. Don’t date someone that doesn’t love puppies. Take compliments gracefully and insults lightly. When you’re on the pier, think about how you got there. If you need to find yourself, go home.  Don’t spend time with anyone who makes you feel less than amazing. You can never have too many friends. Some people appreciate you and some do not, don’t waste your time on those that do not. Change the things you can and accept what you cannot. If someone tells you on a first date that they hate games, they’re playing games with you, run. Memories come in moments, not days. Live for every moment. Don’t forget to live while you’re making plans. Don’t take anyone for granted. Don’t dwell on what has happened, accept it. Forgiveness won’t change anything but it will englarge your future. It’s not about what happens, but how you handle it. People will forget the things you said and did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Be random. Don’t put your life in a timeline. Go rafting down the river as much as possible. Take chances and go outside of your comfort zone. You will never feel your best without feeling your worst. You can only feel so much pain before you go numb, this is a good thing. Find someone that let’s you be you, all the time. Speak carefully when you’re angry, you can’t take back the hurtful things you say. Find hobbies, get interested. Be there for your friends, even if you’ve lost touch, they will notice your absence. Just because you’ve invested time does not mean you have to stay. If you feel like you’ve had enough, leave. Dbags never change. Don’t let anyone change you. Don’t try to change anyone else. Make people laugh. Talk to strangers. Find your passion. Love isn’t always enough. People deserve the truth. Everyone has been through some shit, it’s no excuse to treat people badly. Don’t judge. Yes, you do care what other people think.
