Describes themself as: I tried writing out my life's story and it just didn't suit me, so instead, here's a few things I've learned in my short life...
Set aside all anger and petty arguments, and love as though the people you love may not be there when you wake in the morning. Our time in this world is limited, so do not waste your precious moments on anger, depression, or hate. Rather, embrace each moment and live it, love it, treasure it. Do not concern yourself with thoughts of "am I a success?" Success is defined by your happiness. Be happy with what you have--even if it is very little--and you are more successful than the richest men alive.
There is always hope so long as there are green and growing things. The economy, politics, countries--these are all constructions of man. Our true necessities of life come not from factories or convenience store shelves or big-box stores, but from the earth and sky. So long as we have these, we have all we need to survive.
Laugh at your own misfortune, and you will realize how trivial it is in the long run. Offer love to another who is suffering misfortune, and you will help them heal from the greatest wounds. Listen even to those you do not agree with, because they may have genuine wisdom you have missed until now. Be patient with fools--most did not choose to be one. Learn from your mistakes, but do not dwell on them. Learn from the mistakes of others, and save yourself the trouble.
In our mad rush to get ahead in our lives and our careers, we often lose a part of ourselves--the part that delights in mud puddles and snowy days, that cares for a stranger and brings hope to the darkest days. In cities where we are most surrounded by other human beings, we are the most likely to forget that we are connected to everyone else around us. Step away, watch the world as though you were an outsider, and realize what your place in the world truly is.
