Eat lots of peanut butter and bananas and potatoes and chicken and mushroom pizza and chocolate doves. Run three times a week, stay strong and lean. Read anything that gets your mind moving, include a few poems. Get to know your neighbors, start with their pets. And don't forget to say thank you for the day.
Treat ex-lovers as kindly as you can. Wish them the best that you are able. Dance like a fool to wake yourself up in the morning. Don't always get directions ahead of time. When you get your heart broke, make sure to write about it, for many different reasons. Don't keep your closet full: too much stuff will sour the soul. But buy a really expensive pair of jeans once in your life. Keep your favorite books close to your bed and underline the best parts.
Go camping with your family every chance you get, to remind yourself of someone younger. Keep a cat or two around for good measure, and let him play with your hair. Go swimming naked, at least once. Say what you need to say.
Don't get too used to texting, it's a cheap way of communicating. Don't over exaggerate your stories, or how drunk you are. Don't roll your eyes at people, no matter how dumb they're being. Don't participate in things just because the town expects you too. Don't steal music. Don't forget to bring the camera. And don't leave with out saying goodbye.
Pound the dash when that song comes on. Empty your lungs baby, even if you sound terrible. Buy a large kitchen table with more spots than you think you'll need. Have children if you want. Let them know who you are, they deserve that. Ask them about their lives. And do your best to show them the world. Order a snuggie for your grandma, give it to her for no occasion. Be a part of your high school for the short time you're there, attitude will determine how that journey goes for you. Don't say I love you lightly, but don't become a stranger to the words. And be good to your body.
Pray if it helps you. Be generous with your home, let everyone come in. Buy cards with blank insides and write your own messages. Help raise your sisters when your mom burns out. Take walks with your best friends on warm nights, and notice the cracks in the side walk. Learn to put showering at the end of the to do list. Don't drink too much coffee. Die if you need to, in the best way that you can. Follow the music.
