Hey kid. You're in for a bumpy, fantastic ride. You haven't had a lot of experiences yet. Many days may be the worst of your life. Many moments may be the best.

Remember that everything is transitory, including pain and suffering.

Your emotions are a map to who you are. It may take you a long time to figure out that your emotions are valid. However, feeling something does not mean you have to act.

Remember to be grateful for what you have when you have it: Safety, security, love, food, health, friendship, wonder, joy.
