Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that
worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by
chewing bubblegum. The
real toubles in life are apt to be things that never
crossed your worried
mind; the kind the blindside you at 4pm on some idle
TuesdayDo one thing everyday that scares you.Sing.Don't be reckless with other peoples hearts. Don't
put up with people who
are reckless with yours.Floss.Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're
ahead, sometimes you're
behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with
yourself.Remember compliments you receive. Forget the
insults. If you suceed in doing
this, tell me how.Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank
statements.Stretch.Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do
with your life.
the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
what they wanted to do
with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still
don't.Get plenty of calcium.Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're
gone.Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
have children, maybe you
won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance
the funky chicken on
your 75th wedding anniversary.... Whatever you do,
don't congratulate
yourself too much or berate yourself either - your
choices are half chance,
so are everybody else'sEnjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be
afraid of it, or what
other people think of it... it's the greatest instrument
you'll ever own.Dance... even if you have nowhere else to do it but in
your own living room.Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make
you feel UGLY.Get to know your parents, you never know when they
might be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; They're your best link to your
past, and the
people most likely to stick with you in the futureUnderstand that friends come and go, except for the
precious few you should
hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
and lifestyle because the
older you get, the more you need the people you knew
when you were young.Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes
you hard. Live in
Northern California once, but, leave before it makes
you soft.Travel.Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise,
Politicians will
philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll
fantasize that when
you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians
were noble, and children
respected their elders.Respect your elders.Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe
you'll have a trust fund,
maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never
know when either one might
run out.Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're
40, it will look 85.Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with
those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past
from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly
parts, and
recycling it for more than it's worth.

Stephanie, I can't thank her enough for coming through for me and letting me become part of her family. I love living with ya girl. Emily for always giving advice. Bak for putting up with me all these years and making me smile. Hunter too, he took care of me when I was sick and took me to see my gma in WV.
