You will experience heartbreak. You will experience loss. You’ll be confused and upset when things don’t make sense.

Always remember you’re never as alone as you think you are, and it is ok to feel sad and angry. There is always a silver lining, and nothing is as bad as they may seem. Humans adapt, and you adapt - and everything works out in the end.

Listen with an open heart.

Make time to slow down and take it all in, and try not to take too much for granted. Give as much as you can, and help as many people as you can. Stay inspired, stay creative. Love openly and strongly, and stay true to yourself. Be comfortable with failure. Listen to mom and dad, cause they are often right.

Make your bed, and don’t take things too seriously.

Have fun.
