About Me

If I could write a survival guide, these would be my words of wisdom:1. Eat fruit as much as possible. 2. Only kill bugs if they won’t let you sleep at night. 3. Be honest, even if it means being brutally honest. 4. Run while you still can. 5. Feed your brain every second of every day for ever. 6. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. 7. Discover life for yourself. 8. Learn to listen. 9. Listen often. 10. Offer advice only if it is asked for. 11. Love everyone and everything for who and what they are. 12. Never make assumptions. 13. Choose words carefully, they hurt just as much as sticks and stones. 14. Do something unworldly every day. 15. Make someone laugh at every given chance. 16. Smile inappropriately. 17. Look in the mirror and make funny faces frequently. 18. Dance. 19. Be aware that every action has a reaction. 20. Embrace pain as much as you embrace love.

The Battle for Brooklynites
