You wont regret that.
Youll always feel better when you laugh.
In fact, laugh until youre laughing
so hard that you are crying.
Those are the best tears.
Laugh more than you cry.

When you tell your friends what a thrill it was, theyll
have one of two reactions. Theyll think youve lost
your mind (especially when you have an obsessive
personality). Or theyll want to experience it for
themselves. But, theres no sense in trying to explainan orgasm to somebody who has never had one. The
only way to understand is to experience it.

and always somebody behind.

Its easy to compare ourselves when our lives are on public display.
Yet we judge the package by the wrapping paper. You may think
you want someone elses life...but you dont. Youll get the parts
that suck with the parts that are awesome. We dont realize thatthere is no Facebook photo album for somebodys inner turmoil.
Make a conscious effort to celebrate little victories,
appreciate what you have,and keep moving forward.
Dont get too caught up in comparison.

In fact it will take longer than
you think. So plant the seed,
but dont get obsessed with it.
If you keep digging up the seeds
to see how well theyre growing
youll stunt the growth. Youll getyour moment in the sun.
Plant seeds...but realize they wont barefruit for a while.

If youre always angry, anxiety ridden, and stressed
out thats how youll be remembered. You cant sing
a different tune on birthdays, holidays, and special
occasions and go down in history with the people around
you as a grammy winner.

how do you want to be remembered?
People will remember you based on
how you were most of the time
