|
Walk into unfamiliar rooms to the beat of your own heart. |
|
Sunlight is perpetually temporary. Bathe in its fleeting rays before it's consumed. |
|
Bite your nails only if you need to prove something. Otherwise, let them breathe. |
|
It is hard to breathe when your heart is heavy. |
|
It is easy to love when your heart is light. |
|
Dreams are less dense than water. |
|
Do not be afraid of grass. It will feel nice between your bare toes after your heart's been broken. |
|
Do not pinch your temples when you have a migraine. Feel the blood pulsing in your head. Feel alive. |
|
When your grandmother asks you how you're doing, don't lie to her. Tell her everything honestly. |
|
Your grandmother loves you more than your mother does. Take what she gives you even if you don't want it. |
|
Your grandmother will offer you tea in the summer. Let her make it for you. |
|
Do not feel guilty if you look outside and feel nothing. |
|
You must say no when your heart tells you so. |
|
What's fixed will always be broken. Don't let this upset you. |
|
Turn off your eyes when you go to sleep. |
|
If you have the hiccups it is because someone is thinking about you. |
|
Never celebrate your birthday before the actual day. |
|
If you look at your watch today and the minutes seem to be moving slower than they were yesterday, this is because they are. |
|
Time is different every day. Science cannot prove this, but you must believe this is true. |
|
Eye-contact is often frightening. |
|
You must not worry, however, because they cannot see the secrets you're keeping behind your gaze. |
|
Do not make your heart fight with your head. |
|
They must work together. They are old friends. |
|
You must spit on the ground every time you pass a cemetery. |
|
The thought of death will take your breath away sometimes. So will the stars. |
|
Sometimes you will wake up from a deep sleep and forget you were ever alive. |
|
This is what death feels like. It doesn't hurt. |
|
Every mirror is different, as is every camera lens. |
|
You will never see yourself as others see you. This is okay because you will see them as what they will never see. |
|
Anticipation hurts more than reality. |
|
The past hurts more than the present. |
|
Innocence is bliss. |
|
Ignorance is unacceptable. |
|
You are responsible for what you know. The knowledge you have is yours alone to keep. |
|
You never feel nauseous, only nauseated |
|
You will feel nauseated on the open seas or in the sky, but never on flat ground. |
|
Only you know what you're thinking. Don't let others put words in your mouth or your head. |
|
You must treat siblings the same, even if they are "different people." |
|
Sensitive boys are treated with more love than sensitive girls. |
|
Sensitive girls are common. Tough girls are treated with more sarcasm than tough boys. |
|
Soon you will realize you are a cold-blooded creature. |
|
Lying on hot concrete is the only way to recharge your battery. |
|
You must cover your eyes, however, because the sun can hurt you. |
|
Warm milk will remind you of when you were six months old. |
|
There will be things they will tell you. You must ignore them: |
|
"The sun will rise tomorrow just as it did today. You must never believe each sunrise is unique. |
|
"You must take only cold showers because they are refreshing and humbling. Modesty is close to godliness. |
|
"You must apologize even when your heart doesn't mean it. |
|
"Lasers will feel like hot needles against your skin. You must conceal your pain. |
|
"It is in your best interest to smile at what is given to you. Your life is a gift, and we care for your safety." |
|
Sometimes you will forgive but you will be unable to forget. This is natural. |
|
Words speak louder than actions only when you're talking to yourself. |
|
They are right when they say "hate" is a strong word. Think three times before you use it. The same applies to "love." |
|
Every person has a word bank. |
|
When you exceed the number of words you have in your word bank, you die. |
|
No one really dies until their name stops being uttered posthumously. |
|
You will be alone at a concert when a strange boy in a mask will ask you to dance. He is not very attractive to you. |
|
When you reluctantly agree, you must remind yourself that you do not owe this boy anything. |
|
It will be very loud and you will ask him multiple times to repeat what he's said. |
|
He will ask you, honestly, if you want to kiss him. When you decline, you tell him it isn't personal. |
|
He is respectful and doesn't take it personally. Your friends will say, "At least he was nice about it." |
|
It irks you to think about this boy. You later learn he is three years older than you. You feel flattered/used. |
|
Did he really think you were beautiful? |
|
Did he really like your black leather boots? |
|
You will never know because you blocked him when he found you online, asking, "are u the girl i danced w/ last night??" |
|
Independence is directly proportional to maturity. |
|
Maturity is indirectly proportional to creativity. |
|
Electricity can be man-made. |
|
Put your infinite love into one relationship. Do not spread your love around infinitely and without purpose. |
|
The moon shines at night only because it mimics the sun. |
|
Celestial objects are often jealous. |
|
That moment before dawn holds a lifetime of infinite possibility. |
|
Dawn is bittersweet. |
|
Beauty is never synonymous with symmetry. |
|
God : Religion :: Omnividence : Physics |
|
The afterlife exists in our memories. |
|
Your life runs parallel to the choices you didn't make. |
|
Love is never just chemistry. |
|
Sun : Moon :: Flashlight : Mirror |
|
The ground seems flat only because of where you are standing. Look at the horizon; it is curved. |
|
The same applies to time; time is not linear--it only feels that way because of the dimension we live in. |
|
Soon you will see your birth and your death simultaneously. |
|
Don't trust people who don't believe in love. |
|
Believing in love is blind faith. If you don't believe in God, at least believe in love. |
|
When you listen to music, it is listening to you. That is why soft songs will break your heart. |
|
Your feelings are symmetrical to the notes you hear. These notes never judge you |
|
Phobias can be genetically inherited. |
|
No one is a carbon copy of their parents. |
|
Always strive towards humble reality. |
|
You will watch a movie and say, "That's sad." |
|
Your mother will look at you with eyes that have seen almost everything. She will reply, "That's life." |
|
This will not make sense to you--not until you are her age. |
|
You will realize that "sad" is too simple a word. "Sad" is a word devoid of meaning. |
|
You will realize that "life" (as you've lived it) moves in waves. |
|
Often it will reach its crest and then its trough, but mostly it will stay at equilibrium. |
|
You will realize (when you reach that age), that when your mother said, "That's life," this is what she meant. |
|
But you are still not that age. |
|
Until then, you must continue to walk into unfamiliar rooms to the beat of your own heart. |
