Life. Sometimes it throws a shit ton of things in your way, and the way I see it, you either give up, wait it out, or work through it.
I have done all three. I’ve even done all three with the same obstacles.
I don’t have all the answers, and I am by no means finished with all of my challenges. I’m at a much better place in my life now, but I still have a long way to go.
I have some advice, though, that I want to remind myself of when I venture into Tomorrow.
- Listen to your parents, but be aware that they are not always right.
- They may mean well, but they tend to forget advice #6. Often.
- Ask for advice when you need it. Ask for an ear when you need that.
- Be specific about which.
- Get out of bed. Wash your face, brush your teeth, get dressed, take your meds. If you can: Take a shower or just wash up. GOOD FOR YOU! YOU TRIED!
- You’re allowed to go back to bed, but don’t give up completely.
- Some people are only out for drama. Ignore them.
- Do not let yourself be pulled into shit – not by the shit stirrer, and not by their flying monkeys.
- Some people don’t know you. Stand up for yourself.
- You are allowed to tell people that what they’re saying or doing is hurtful, wrong or unnecessary.
- Remember that this also goes the other way.
- IS IT NECESSARY? IS IT NICE? IS IT TRUE? If not, shut the fuck up.
- Yes, you can still joke with your friends, but read the room.
- If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.
- This also goes for all the ads on social media.
- Take good care of the green flags in your life.
- Yes, even when they’re annoying, exhausting or ghosting you.
- Stay humble and be patient.
- Take responsibility for your actions. Change, if necessary.
Also: All furry things are potential killers. Do not let that stop you from enjoying them. There are worse ways to die.
