Advice for myself
Donât be so hard on yourself for feeling lost, confused or like you havenât achieved all that you wanted to achieve. Life would be pretty damn boring if youâd done it all already, if you had no more room to grow or things to learn. Be patient. Youâll eventually ďŹgure it all out and everything will make perfect sense. Every experience will get you to where you are supposed to be. Every win, every loss, every heartbreak and every mistake. Donât be afraid to fuck up, and donât expect success overnight. Get lost, get so damn lost and ďŹnd yourself over and over again.
You will receive a body. You may like it or not but it is yours for the entire time youâre on Earth.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called âlife.â Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant or stupid.
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The âfailedâ experiments are as much as the process as the experiment that ultimately works.
A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Then you can go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
âThereâ is no better than âhere.â When your âthereâ has become âhere,â you will simply obtain another âthereâ that is, again, better than âhere.â
Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reďŹects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need — what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
The answers to lifeâs questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
You will forget all this. You can remember whenever you want.

- The more you try to argue with someone, the less likely you are to convince them of your perspective.
- The more choices you have, the less satisďŹed you are with each one

Be more obscure. More esoteric. Make people ask questions. Make people do their research.

Donât be such a dick to your parents, you entitled little shit. You live in a world where 99.9999999% of humans care more about how their hair looks than whether you live or die, and then thereâs this person, or two if youâre lucky, whoâd give their lives for you.
