the words I live by:
Enjoy the power and and beauty of your youth, oh never mind.... you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years you will look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how FABULOUS YOU REALLY LOOKED.
YOU ARE NOT AS FAT AS YOU IMAGINE.
Do not worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algeabra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
SING
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with YOURS.
FLOSS
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind... the race is long.. and in the end its only with YOURSELF
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults...If you succeed in doing this. Tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.....STRETCH
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life, the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know...STILL DON'T
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees.. you'll miss them when they are gone.
MAYBE you'll marry
MAYBE you won't
MAYBE you'll have children
MAYBE you won't
MAYBE you'll divorce at 40
MAYBE you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berrate yourself either
YOUR CHOICES ARE HALF CHANCE....SO ARE EVERYBODY ELSE'S
Enjoy your bosy, use it everyway you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the GREATEST INSTRUMENT you will ever OWN!
DANCE...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room
Read the directions..even if you don't follow them
DO NOT READ BEAUTY MAGAZINES... they will only make you feel UGLY!
Get to know your parents.. you NEVER KNOW when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings...they're your best link to your past and people most likly to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle...for as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
.....
TRAVEL
Accept certain inalianable truths:
prices WILL rise
politicians WILL fallander
you TOO will get old..and when you do you will fantasize that when you were young:
Prices were reasonable
Politicians were noble
and children respected their elders
RESPECT YOUR ELDERS
DON'T EXPECT ANYONE ELSE TO SUPPORT YOU
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse...
but you NEVER KNOW when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair...or by the time you are 40 it will look 85
Be careful who's advice you buy...but...be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it, is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth....

ON MEN
Living with your partner..no matter how chaotic...is the most enjoyable experience....
You only fight with people you trust.
Men don't understand the question: "when we first met what did yo uthink of me?" If they answer truthfully, their answer will almost ALWAYS BE "I was thinking about what it would be like to have sex with you..." So ladies.. don't ask.. they don't know what to say.. and they will ALWAYS get it WRONG!

ON TRAVELLING:
