My current guiding principles:
Relax.
Stop worrying.
Look up.
Walk in the grass.
Feel.
Love.
Be brave.
Be bold.
Tell people how you feel.
Get sweaty anytime you can.
Laugh so hard you get the hiccups.
Do new things as often as possible.
Dive in.
Dive IN.
I mean all the way in, especially if you're scared, especially if you don't know what you'll find down there.
If you're at a clearing, give your head a break and let you heart lead you forward.
Listen to your heart. Really. I'm serious. Listen.
And live like it's your fucking job to feel everything there is to feel.
Today is all we have, so don't refuse what you want, what you've been asking for your entire life, what it is that makes you want to be the best version of yourself. What are you waiting for?
"Enough. These few words are enough. If not these words, this breath. If not this breath, this sitting here. This opening to the life we have refused again and again until now. Until now." --DW
