- Read. Goodreads. Read poetry and novels and non-fiction, and get lost in worlds.
- Write. Write a lot. Novels, thoughts, create the worlds and people and something beautiful.
- Sport. Different kinds of it - play football (soccer) and run, and do yoga, and dance all the damn time. and try weird martial arts, and just flex muscles and feel strong and flexible. Oh, and trapeze school! and just so many types of sport to try out!..
- Learn. Go to college and get all the degrees. and be the best student without shame, talk to your professors outside the class, and read the whole textbook, and read some other books of those authors that are given. and then continue with the academics - get masters and doctors degrees, study about different weird things, all types of them (astronomy, linguistics, human brain, history of Christianity, World War 2, machines, technology, biology and evolution, philosophy, music and dance, and BLUE WHALES, and flowers, and new instruments... the list goes on and on)
- Be beautiful. be healthy firstly, take care of the body, be proud of the appearance and have fluffy hair and clear skin and strong flexible body.
- Vegan. somehow
- Explore the world. see new places and new people, new ideas, new thoughts
- Shopping. have enough to buy all those cool things - old typewriters, vinyl players, new clothes, notebooks, books, albums, just so many things...
- Be proud of my life
- Be in love with the life. Be in love with every part of life, with every exhale and every moment and every small thing in it
- Write music. Write songs - a combination of poetry, visuals, music and everything coming straight from my soul. write so many of them
- Continue dreaming. And have all those weird impossible dreams coming true
- Create. create art, music, worlds, draw, paint, write, read, learn some new weird craft and create all the time. learn how to touch something and see it becoming beautiful
- New languages. be multilingual, and yet go deeper into those that you already know - there are always going to be words to learn and phrases to use
- Be kind. forgive (somehow), and learn to listen and to understand, and try giving out more and more without expecting anything to come back. Be the person who is more in love, who is hurt deeper, who gives so carelessly, so freely
- Watch the stars. And sunsets. And sunrise, and see the ocean moving, and simply observe the painfully beautiful things this world has to offer. and collect the beautiful pictures, and try photographing (nothing ever works, because it is just too ethereal to be captured)
- Be an actress. study another person, understand him and then become him. fill your body with all those people, allow these personas to take over your body, to tear the heart open, to get the weird ideas inside you. there is no morality, only the game, the play, the act. Do it again and again. and then, somehow, become an actress
- Live. Some people create books, some write music, and some live. Screw the road less traveled by, go for the road no one has gone through, never fall into the mediocrity trap, live, burn, create and do everything with everything that is inside of you. You are special. You really can do it. you can live each day and moment painting it with the colors that only bloom in your soul.
- Observe and explore. Find new music, and listen to music. Be with people and listen to them talk and think carefully of what are the presents that they might want. and watch tons of movies and go to museums and collect the names of your favorite paintings. and reread books. And read terrible books, and hide your guilty pleasures, but do not allow them to disappear.
- Grow. be happy, be consent, know what is the truth and have it becoming a lie the next moment, and be sad. And terrified, and simply experience all those emotions, and go through all the big ideas, and seek something and expect something, and make plans, and yet live so fully now - in that unfulfilling now where everything is not quite right (that is exactly how it is going to be)
- Do not hold back. if you are meant to explode like a supernova, go on. you are afraid that your bang is going to destroy everything around you, but it is going to create the worlds. raise your hand when you know the answer, go for that big unrealistic dream - it is you who is going to get that one in a million chance, and write the essay ten pages longer, and read more books than your librarian believes one can read in a day, and care about people and ask when you see that something is off, and bring them cookies because you thought they look sad, and crack the jokes or laugh too loudly, and eat more than the Olympic athletes, and, just, be!
- Do not kill the bugs. it doesn't matter what people around you are saying - go and collect that spider and throw him out of the window, don't be ashamed
- Learn the poems by heart. oh, and constellations. And poems! learn a Shakespeare sonnet and something in your native tongue, and learn and learn them
- Guilty pleasure. go for that comic book, and buy all of them in series. And listen to Taylor Swift, like all of her songs, and write that garbage story (that no one ever has to see), and rewatch that goddamn movie again, and then once more. and read the absolute terrible story, and look up that celebrity's tips and of their life, and imagine what it would be to be dating them
- Try something new. a surfing lesson, new country, new people, that weird drink, new music, a bunjee-jumping, and highest roller-coaster in the world
- Friends. there are no words to describe how good they are. be the best friend you can be, but accept that you are going to sometimes hurt them. get an internet friend, let go of those friendships that stopped, but be ready to welcome them anytime again.
