you're going to be 16 for only 365 days. and you could die at 17. when your mom asks you if you want to sleep in her bed, say yes. one day she'll be in a hospital bed and there won't be enough room to make up for right now. stop cancelling plans; go out and use your legs while they work. you're guaranteed nothing. stop denying affections. you'll never be able to love someone as at teenager at 25. someone, many someone's, are going to tell you they love you. don't keep quiet because you've been told it's too soon. if you love them, say so. be brutally, beautifully honest. go out and change the world. fight for peace, equality, and change. when you're 70 and can only watch the news all day you don't want to see the same issues going on when you had every chance to fight it. stop romanticizing the "i don't need anybody" and "i don't have feelings" attitude. its easier to make friends in high school than in a nursing home. embrace feelings and intimacy. don't apologize for caring even if it's one sided. you're only a teenager for 2,555 days and then you become 20. life never slows down.
bones become fragile and break, people die, and hearts become weak
with every atom of your body, live right now.
