Use these notes for future reference. They will help you avoid things you regret/keep you up at night/make you shake your head and laugh in that all-knowing way.
1: Laughter is not an appropriate way to respond to compliments.
2: When you see that guy in a mask on Halloween and he says hello, run after him.
3: Take good care of your teeth. You’ll be happy you did later in life.
4: Do not keep crushing on the guy that barely talks to you. Just stop.
5: Start running and never stop.
6: Do more things that you temporarily regret. You’ll be happy you did them later.
7: Take Spanish. Seriously, what were you thinking with French?
8: Do not stay up at night obsessing over the fact that you pronounced polyamorous incorrectly. Really. You're the only one that noticed.
9: Never stop smiling at people. You never know when they’re getting a smile they didn’t think they needed.
10: Get really good at winking.
11: Document as much of your life as you can. It’s so nice to look back on things later.
12: Hindsight won’t always clear things up. Some things won’t ever make sense. It’s okay.
13: Do not burn your angsty art/writing/everything. There’s great importance in that angsty stuff that isn’t burdened by self-consciousness and semi-colons.
Lastly: Ignore all of this advice. Things turn out alright in the end. And who am I kidding, they make for good stories.
