Til then, live by your pen.
To never be complacent…

because, good or bad, things are always changing.

If I’m comfortable, I know that at one point, I will be uncomfortable.
If I’m unhappy, I know that at one point, I will smile again.

To never find myself wanting to stay in one place, because my mind, body and soul will always wish to travel beyond what others believe are my limits.

To never wish for someone else’s life, because my life, and what I choose to do will be important to the world someway, somehow. Maybe this year, or possibly in twenty. The effect I have on society will show itself to me one day.

To be kind. 

To understand that being discouraged is a part of the creative process, but that sacrificing one’s ego in order to complete the process is well worth the “pain.”

To let love shape me in such ways that I become aerodynamic to hate. I will fly right through it. 

To say I Love You when it counts, but to make it present in all my actions—whether pouring a cup of tea, or making the bed for my future child. 

To be continued…
