A GENTLE REMINDER.

You should say no when you want to say no.

You should speak precisely and kindly and with understanding but directness when you see a friend struggling to make a simple choice that will have a profound effect on their entire quality of life, instead of walking away and discussing with everybody.

You should leave your house if in it; you're not wanted' There are ways to pay the rent, there is no way to make somebody love you when they don't.

You should say how you feel before it stays in the darkness so long that it becomes the foundation on which your life is built- and then collapses through.

You should tell people you love that you love them. You really do.

You should dig deep into the untouched abyss of yourself and see what you come out with. First, it will be unhealed wounds you didn't know you had. Second, it will be the light and love and passion under which they rest. Third, it will be the desire to take those things and run with them and build something remarkable.

You should evaluate your choices not in light of how other people will perceive them, but how in line with your deepest, truest self they are.

You should rise and say "This is who I am, even if you'll crucify me for it” in the very way so many religious and social idols and icons have, even if their fans and followers are the very ones who will do the crucifying.

You should give to others what you most need. Which, more often than not, is to say the following "You are not loved by everybody, but that does not mean you are not loved at all."

You are not the most beautiful, but being the most beautiful is not what matters most.
