Read one good poem a day.
Look up.
For every negative thought, think three positives. Because this life hurts too much already.
Duct tape your ugly mouth. You are amazing and stop saying otherwise.
When all else fails, pray.
Everything will fail. Pray.
Think of the children.
Talk a walk in nature. Breathe it in. Don’t forget what you learned there.
Remember: someone needs you.
Remember: you need, too.
Write, damn it. That’s how you know what you need to know. It’s your gift. To yourself.
