- It’s okay to be alone, it’s okay to be lonely. I learned most about myself in hours of silence rather than than in a crowded room.
- Compassion and empathy for your fellow human are the most important qualities to have.
- Art can save you.
- There is a difference between having time and making time. Remember this next time you say “I don’t have time” and remember this next time he says the same.
- Your friendships are far more important than any romantic relationship (at least right now, maybe ask me this again when I’m 30).
- If you are hurting, tell someone. It doesn’t make you weak.
- Don’t hold on to preconceived notions, and don’t make assumptions. Give everyone and everything a fair chance.
- Keep your heart open.
- How to actually feed myself and not end up subsisting on a diet of coffee, pasta, and cereal.
- Sometimes the person you want the most is the one you’re best without.
- You dreams are important.
- If you’re stressed, call your mom. If you’re sad, call your mom. If you’re happy, call your mom.
- Sometimes your friends will be at different places than you are, emotionally, and in life. You should start getting used to that.
- Friendship with your high school friends isn’t as effortless as it once was. You will have to work to hold on to those people.
- If you love someone, for god sakes, tell them.
