1. You should not have to rip yourself into pieces in order to keep others whole; don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm
2. Even the smallest violin plays a sweeter sound than the worlds loudest explosion
3. Everything happens for a reason/everything is happening just as it should
4. Friends can break your heart too
5. Believe in yourself. You can achieve anything you set your mind to
6. Only you can decide your worth, not others ***** Don’t compromise yourself in order to impress someone else
7. Never say no to adventure or you’ll lead a very dull life
8. Remember who’s been there for you from the start. A lot of times it’s family and they understand you better than you think
9. It’s okay to love yourself. Splurge. Treat yourself to that slice of pizza or that hamburger
10. Do what makes you happy. Wear makeup, or don’t. Love whoever you want. The only way to be satisfied is by following your heart
11. Appreciate nature and the world around you. The part humans haven’t destroyed yet. Pets can be the most rewarding and therapeutic thing ever. They love you as long as you’re good to them
12. Only you can define yourself. Weight, grades, sexual orientation, or race don’t matter if you don’t let it
13. You never really see how toxic someone is until you breathe fresher air
14. It’s okay to get drunk or high as long as It doesn’t effect your everyday life. It’s okay to not ever get high or drink, too.
15. No one is ever too busy. It’s about priorities*****
16. It’s okay to be sad but don’t let it consume you. Hell is something you carry around, not somewhere you go
17. “I hope you get everything you deserve” – the sweetest or most evil thing someone could say. Be good to people, even the mean ones. Let assholes be assholes. You’ll sleep better at night
18. Just because you don’t look like the girl in the magazine doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful**** take note how everyone has a different favored “cup of tea”
19. They wanna see you do good, but never better than them. Remember that.
This doesn’t nearly cover it so I’ll make another at some point

Interesting…
You have a nice list there. I am very glad to see you at 19 years of age accumulating WISDOM and Thinking for Yourself. I especially like 5,6,7,8,9,10 You were on a roll there!
Those alone make a good list. Some of the other stuff well………
Keep up the good work of carefully observing life and discovering TRUTHS to live by.
You are the master of your own fate
I applaud your interest in discovering what is right for you. I also applaud you sharing what you have discovered with others. FINE POST
This was truly beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you all, I mean I see this kind of shit everywhere I just kind of picked out things that spoke to me (a few are like quotes I saw around whatever) and made up my own as well, compiled it into one thing.
Ouu Fun.
I think mine would be more pessimistic. Love is meaningless. Skill, nugatory…
