I have learned to live in the moment. "Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery."

Also, listen to the advice that adults give you. They have gone through everything you have.

Include your favorite quote if you would like.

Mine: When you can think of yesterday without regret, and tomorrow without fear, you are well on the road to success.

i would agree with the living in the moment


- dont try to be someone your not, be yourself
- try and be nice to everyone
- sometime no matter how much you disagree, or have different beliefs, or dislike something about someone, you have to let those go, accept them for who they are and focus on the positives (still trying to work on that one)

and one of the most important ones, smile, feel good about yourself, love life and just have fun!

Go hardcore when there is glitter on the floor.

Also, Never regret anything. If you didn't do something there was probably a reason for it.

I've learned that you should listen to what old people have to say. It could be useful.

Also that it really doesn't matter hat people think, and that trying to fit in is just stupid.

And that you don't EVER wear white socks, unless you're playing tennis.

i've learned that people are in it for themselves and money > all

lets put it this way, if you had the choice of pushing a button, and upon pushing it you would end some randomly selected person's life halfway across the world and receive a million dollars for doing so, you'd push it. don't even act like you wouldn't. there's no accountability, no skin off your back. you're just looking out for #1. you'd be happy with your 1mil even though you know you killed someone to get it. you just don't know who. sure, you didn't exactly murder them face to face in exchange for currency. but what's the difference?

human nature is a funny, and disgraceful thing.

-Live in the moment, but still aim for set goals.
-Sometimes even the people you trust the most will lie for their own benefit.
-Experiencing something is often better than taking someone's word for it.
-If you are considering post secondary school, really plan out what you want to do. It will save you a lot of money and time.

sounds corny as hell but there are three things in life that every human should do: be kind, be kind, and be kind.

my tae kwon do teacher taught me that one and its stuck with me since

I learned that Tucker Max was right. I now live my life with this quote always in the front of my mind -


“Be honest with yourself about who you are, and have the courage to be that person. If you want to fuck, then go fuck. If you want to get drunk, get drunk. And there is nothing wrong with sucking a dick. If someone tries to judge you or shame you for doing safe, consensual things that make you happy, I can guarantee you they’re a bad person–tell them to lick the dark part of your ass and cut them out of your life. No one has it all figured out, especially not the people who are acting like they do and judging you because of it. Pretending to be something you aren’t because you’re trying to please a bunch of judgmental hypocrites and shitheads is not the way to be happy; living the life you want to live is.

It’s that simple.”

Disregard females, acquire currency.

Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

you always need options. i still struggle with this for myself, but it's the most important thing possible to secure options for every single situation

along those lines, avoiding making a decision is the same as making the decision to be passive

parents are mostly right. they're not trying to make you miserable, they're just trying to help you as much as possible because they love you and want you to succeed

girls are more similar than guys are, so don't be surprised when she's not what you think she is

I've learned that patience is really a virtue. I'm so much happier when i'm not all worked up about waiting. We have more time than we think. So sit back, relax and be patient.
