  • Take many pictures. Don’t let it take over your life, though. You don’t want to look back and see that you only captured your memories with your camera lens and not within your mind and heart.
  • Find your safe place. Whether it be in the arms of a certain person or on the balcony of Barnes and Nobles with a cup of soup, find it and don’t let it go. You can have more than one safe place.
  • Be nice to everyone. You honestly don’t know what skeletons people are hiding in their closets. Everyone has their skeleton. Every person on this earth has something in their life or past worth collapsing on the ground in uncontrollable sobs over.
  • Reading is so important. Highlight the things that you read that you find intriguing. Read a lot, it can only do good things for you.
  • Writing always helps.

  • Adventuring is a must. Sunsets always help the soul, showing that endings can be as beautiful as beginnings.
  • Making someone smile and feel genuinely happy has the ability to warm your heart from the inside out. No matter how much pain someone is going through, you made them forget about it for a few seconds. Isn’t that something?

  • You only need yourself, but having people by your side trying to understand means a lot more than you might think.
  • You find your truest friends in your darkest hours.
  • You can feel the whole world in a month and nothing after 2 years. Time does not define love.
  • Always say yes to dessert.
  • So does yelling your favorite song along with your best friend in the car with your best friend with hands intertwined. These are things that show you that you don’t need to be on drugs to feel invincible.
