There’s a lot you’re wrong about. A lot you don’t fully understand yet, and that’s okay. What matters more than being right is your willingness to learn. Work everyday to develop an open mind. Those with narrowed thinking will only ever experience within the tunnel they’ve closed themselves. Those open to change and difference will experience life. And if life begins to feel stagnant, look around. Appreciate the now that you are in. Give yourself a break. In the end, your life will not be defined by the days spent working or worrying. 

You will find yourself reminiscing on instances that gave meaning to your life, so collect these moments. The memories etched into your mind, the nights you knew exactly what it felt like to be alive.

The meaning of life is the meaning you create for yourself, so spend your time with people who mean well and do the things that mean the most. Remember you are young, and age gracefully. All the kids want to be adults until they become adults. So remember to be the kid you are, remember to enjoy the process.

Don’t overload yourself, you know as much as you need to right now. And you are still growing. You are still learning. Take the time to be youthful. The world will try to make you feel old, as if you are running out of time. But remember, the world doesn’t die when you do. It was here before you came and it will be here after you leave, so take full advantage of the time you have while you are here.

You are not ahead of or behind anyone, you are exactly where you need to be. Observe others on their paths, watch them grow, cheer for them. But do not compare yourself. A life lived in comparison is a life half-lived so live entirely. and If there’s a heaven, give them a show. Let them find themselves enamoured by the path you’ve chosen to follow. show them what it means to be alive.
