First and foremost, unthink what you thought. Yeah, yeah, I know that's not a word, but go ahead, unthink it.

First and foremost, get it through your head, the one that you are calling a thick skull, get it through your thick skull then, that you are not who you thought you were.

First and foremost, you, who was first to say we all make mistakes, understand you made the gravest mistake of all.

First and foremost, you are already at number four of the list, stop being dramatic.

Firth and just as noteworthy, you've been lying to yourself unconsciously.

Sixth and seventh, breathe in and out.

Eighth, accept that this is a list now.

Ninth and we are getting there, make the decision to end the list at ten and make the tenth the greatest.

Tenth... Tenth... Tenth... If you are to remember one thing from all of this, let it be this one: Stop and let the baggage down, let it all fall down. Yours and the world's let it all crumple down. You are not responsible for every bad thing happening in the world. You are not anyone's keeper. Also, sixth and seventh is good and sound advice for everyone.

Sidenote: Making this list is the journey
