There is no reason to fear. A plane can fall out of the sky at any time and land on your head. Death is inescapable. Glory and happyness is escapable. Take life into your hands and do what you want. Don't see yourself as others see you, see you as you see you. Fashion trends and looks are empty. Live outside the box. Call yourself one thing and you limit yourself to that one thing. There's no point living this life as a cynic. Be an idealist. Stand for what you think is fair and right and give it a voice and a proper articulation. Don't let other people's small worlds shrink yours, and let the big ones inspire you. Help someone when you think they need it. Exist outside yourself and the thoughts you have about yourself. Exist in the world you live in. Exist to possibilities. Exist to chance and randomness and being out of control. Think of everyone as your equals and vise versa. Don't let your preconceptions prevent you from getting to know a person. Be genuine. Don't put up walls. Don't be defensive. Let life in and consume it and be consumed by it. And be around the people you love and tell them that you love them. And talk to the girl you want to talk to, and write that paper you know you can write, and play that song you know you can play, and go to that place you want to go to, and say the words you want to say, and be the person you want to be. With no regrets.
