if you want to be

You have to learn to be happy by yourself. All by yourself. Maybe with a cat and a house like a blank canvas, for decorating.

Decent people are attracted to happiness, generosity, a desire to help others and good humour.

Grocery stores are great places for intense philosophical discussions, not stupid arguments.

Don't be afraid to look people in the eye.

Smile with a belief that you are happy and whole (or at least will be one day).

Demand respectfully to be treated with respect.

Don't interrupt. Answer questions. Ask. Give a little. Indicate. Stay in your own lane.

When angry, throw things of little value.

When in a rage, go away.

Do not linger in hazy melancholic states for long periods of time.

Work. Eat. Sleep. Earn. When in doubt, repeat.

Love, without question or remorse.

Take ownership for all the things you are and will be.

It'll be okay.
