1.do not crack; waver and splinter all you want, but don’t you dare let yourself break. 2.) treat your words like razor blade and make sure each one you spit out is worth the pain of a sore mouth and 3.) express yourself, if you like it, wear it, if you hate it, don’t. 4.) you’ve got to remember your worth, do not settle for sour kisses and hollow hugs because they will leave you empty every time. 5.) fill yourself with the stories of other people and lots of coffee and 6.) be sure to die your hair at least once. 7.) don’t build your walls too high because even if someone cherishes you like their last breath, they’ll get tired of climbing eventually and 8.) stand up for others, even with shaky legs. 9.) pay attention to the small things and 10.) do something you know you’ll regret in ten years and laugh about it when you do. 11.) do not carve hate into your body, but 12.) shake it off your bones when you start to feel it grow and 13.) swear to me you’ll find something you’re passionate about. 14.) learn to appreciate books and photograph everything because ink fades a lot slower than our memories do and 15.) don’t ever cut ties with your family. 16.) test your boundaries constantly but know your limits, no means no and that’s all there is to it. 17.) keep in mind that high school sucks but then again so do a lot of people and that it’s okay to dislike them both. 18.) don’t fake it, speak your mind when it’s screaming at you and speak your mind when it’s screaming at other people. 19.) learn what work feels like and love the feeling. 20.) laugh, laugh at yourself and laugh until you cry. 21.) talk to strangers, not the type that want to put you in vans but the ones you can say you’re glad you met and 22.) balance yourself, because you’re no higher up then the people right beside you. 23.) know when to walk away and 24.) know when to stay because there’s no doubt you’ll hate yourself for every minute you wasted waiting for someone who had already left and 25.) love, just love yourself and love your life because it’s hard and it doesn’t always make sense, but I promise you, it’s going to be worth it.
