Never be intimidated. Then, you will intimidate. But not being intimidated doesn’t have to be being serious about everything and acting superior- it can be as simple as laughing at unexpected times.
Number six is always lucky. Write it on you wrist if you’re feeling as unlucky as a flower surrounded by weeds.
Consider your options very carefully when trying to get a point across. If they’re self absorbed, ignorant, and unkind, be calm and sugarcoat everything. If they’re serious, intelligent, and skeptical, be a worthy opponent of their debate and don’t forget to smile so they see your confidence. If they don’t take you seriously, make them. Be expressive enough for them to know that it’s not a joke anymore, and be ready to cry and yell.
If you get upset, list presidents in your head. If you can’t sleep, spell long vocabulary words.
Mental health before everything else. If you feel overwhelmed, then leave the room for a moment to breathe. They’ll understand if they’re really your friends.
Always double knit your shoelaces so you don’t have to take time out of your day to tie them again.
If you think of the world and the people in it as art, then it suddenly feels like a much more bearable place.
Always have a classy comeback ready. You never know when an idiot is going to come along. For instance, if you get catcalled, say, “you know, you’d be much more tolerable if you were smart enough to shut up every once and a while.”
Be nice to everyone, if not for friends, for allies. They will come to your aid when you need them. Sometimes they come when you don’t- all because you laughed at their jokes, or listened to them rant.
Daydreaming about your future life living in an apartment with your best friend and having a job doing what you love is fun, so work hard ow so you can get there one day.
