13 things my mothers father told me before he died:

80 2 3
                                    

not everyone has the blessing to understand sadness

when waiting at the bus stop, it's okay to smoke cigarettes

never touch anyone else's clothes at the laundromat

it's okay to miss the people who were bullets to you

when your grandmother asks you how you are, be honest

never be afraid to say "no" even after you've said "yes"

if someone tells you graffiti isn't art, prove them wrong

remember people by their eye color not their clothes

you're allowed to like dark chocolate with tangerines

don't lie that you don't have a lighter when you really do

turn your phone off every once in a while and find the moon

if you want a tattoo, don't let anyone tell you not to get it

if you ever find yourself at the graveyard, read the names"
