Life lessons for twenty-somethings, vol. 1
Hug your friends and tell them you love them embarrassingly often. You never know when you’ll see them next.
You are the main character in every story you create. Do not revolve your world around making others comfortable.
Setting and maintaining your boundaries is necessary for self-preservation. You have to set the bar for how you want to be treated, or someone else will set it for you.
Despite what our egos tell us, it is actually a very good thing to be a beginner at something. Doing so allows us opportunities to play with childlike wonder.
None of us are free until all of us are free to live in a dignified and just world. We all have more anti-racist work to do.
Our decision making is affected more by the environments we find ourselves in than we consciously know.
When you finally live a life you love, you will stop looking for ways to escape it.
Life is too short to be lived in the closet. Yes, I mean that in terms of sexuality (pending safety concerns of course), but I also mean that life is too short to minimise yourself, and obscure who you really are from the world.
Some people will say they don’t know what they’re looking for in a relationship. This is them trying to let you down easily. Move on to someone who is sure they want you.
When it comes to the good and the bad, it won’t always be this way.
