I’m sure others have their own words to live by, but this is my new list:
ADVICE TO MYSELF
Forget the Past:
What Could Have Been
Didn't happen. Shrug and move toward
What is meant to be
On Blame and Responsibility:
Sometimes there is no
Explanation for sad events,
It's just dumb luck
Marry Myself:
Make my own way for
Better or worse; enjoin my
Will to journey on
Choose Love:
I can be petty and vindictive.
Choose love instead,
Or do nothing
Enjoy Being Alone:
Allow time to be
Your own peaceful company
Savor this moment
Be a Good Friend:
Friendship is a leap
Don’t wait by the quiet phone
Be the one who calls
Go Outside:
Dark days molder inside,
Nothing good comes from
Too much rumination
Write Everyday:
Whatever the thing is that
Calms and renews your restless soul,
Do that
Let Go:
Every life lesson
Boils down to this: Sometimes
It isn't meant for you
