your complementary manual

Welcome to life. Here are the essentials:

Love people. You may not get along with some of them. Tough. 

Get over yourself. You were made in love and for love. You must continue to love. It’s really the only thing that’ll make this world better... Oh, they can promise that the economy, technological advancements, science, progress, and everything shiny will make the world a better place. It won’t. Don’t fall for that lie. 

You’re also not that big of a deal. This may seem cruel, at first, but it’s actually quite comforting. 

No one actually cares when you screw up.

You’re the only one that will remember your most embarrassing moment. 

Laugh. Laugh a lot. Laugh at the world, and laugh at yourself. 

Question. Question everything.

Never stop wondering. Some people don’t like it when you ask questions. Those are not the sort of people to look up to. Find people that will answer your questions, but that also will wonder with you. 

It really doesn’t matter how many friends you have. 

Be willing to try anything once, but remember that there’s only one first time you can do something. Be careful. 

Furry things make life so much easier. Invest in one. 

Never compromise who you are. If you don’t know who you are, that’s ok, neither does anyone else. 

Read a lot. 

Infatuation is not love, it can hurt very much if you get the two confused. 

Look up at the sky occasionally, you won’t be disappointed.

The world doesn’t hate you, nor does it love you. 

Don’t be afraid to be different than what people expect. They may try to put you in a box. It’s your choice to go willingly or not. 

Don’t waste time being angry or bitter, it’s really, really not worth it. 

Be thankful for everything. 

And love. Above all else, love.
