(We call them grown up words in my house. Get with it guys. There are only a few BAD words out there. Don’t use those. Ever.)
Do the things you want to do. Tell everyone you love them. Help the people you can whenever possible. Like really, help people when you can help people. Leave jealousy in adolescence. There’s no place for that. Celebrate others in their successes, because it’s awesome when the people you love are thriving. Go to the museum. All of them. Listen to music. All of it. Go back to times that you felt happy. Listen to that music. (Taylor’s version). Listen to what the cool kids are listening to these days too. Read all the books. But put the book down if you hate it. There are other books to read and you don’t have to use any of your life slogging through shit. You’ll know. Trust yourself. Always trust yourself. Ask for help. When you ask amazing things happen. Eat vegetables. Make your bed, and do your hair because you’ll always have a better day when you do. Be truthful because it’s literally the only way. Keep your side of the street clean and then you get to walk with your head held high because you don’t owe anyone shit. Play whenever you can in all the ways. Play inside. Play outside. Play alone and with friends. Always be playing and you’ll always be laughing. Laughter is the beginning, the middle and the end. Tell jokes. Don’t wear shoes that hurt. Open the window. Fresh air is everything. Take lots of pictures.
Love you, Abby!! xoxox
