Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have
been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering
experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of
your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way
you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat
as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra
equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your
worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in
the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t
know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40,
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate
yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the
greatest instrument you’ll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They’re your
best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps
in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were
young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave
before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you
do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children
respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse. But
you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and
recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

— Mary Schmich

Death ends a life, not a

relationship.
— Mitch Albom

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but
narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but
less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up
too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the
way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer
space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more,
but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow
relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything
from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share
this insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up
and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your
heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember, to say, “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an
embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time
to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

How It Will Happen, When

He’s not coming back, and it will be the first time you believe it.

There you are, exhausted from another night of crying,

curled up on the couch, the floor, at the foot of the bed,
anywhere you fall you fall down crying, half amazed
at what the body is capable of, not believing you can cry
anymore. And there they are: his socks, his shirt, your
underwear, and your winter gloves, all in a loose pile
next to the bathroom door, and you fall down again.
Someday, years from now, things will be different:
the house clean for once, everything in its place, windows
shining, sun coming in easily now, skimming across
the thin glaze of wax on the wood floor. You’ll be peeling
an orange or watching a bird leap from the edge of the rooftop
next door, noticing how, for instance, her body is trapped
in the air, only a moment before gathering the will to fly
into the ruff at her wings, and then doing it: flying.
You’ll be reading, and for a moment you’ll see a word
you don’t recognize, a simple words like cup or gate or wisp
and you’ll ponder like a child discovering language.
Cup, you’ll say over and over until it begins to make sense,
and that’s when you’ll say it, for the first time, out loud: He’s dead.

Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If

you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with?
Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy
and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find
him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not
hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come
back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life
without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -
well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if
you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a

tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached
to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time
you choose. But maybe you won’t know for twenty years. And
you’ll never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one
chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce.
And they say there is no fate, but there is: it’s what you create.
Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here
for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is
spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in
vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from
someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes
or it seems to but doesn’t really. And so you spend your time in
vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come
along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel
whole, to make you feel loved. And the truth is I’m so angry
and the truth is I’m so fucking sad, and the truth is I’ve been
so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long have
been pretending I’m OK, just to get along, just for, I don’t
know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my
misery, because they have their own, and their own is too
overwhelming to allow them to listen to or care about mine.
Well, fuck everybody. Amen.

This Is Not an Elegy, Catherine Pierce

At sixteen, I was illegal and brilliant,

my fingernails chewed to half-moons.
I took off my clothes in a late March
field. I had secret car wrecks,
secret hysteria. I opened my mouth
to swallow stars. In backseats
I learned the alchemy of guilt, lust,
and distance. I was unformed and total.
I swore like a sailor. But slowly the cops
stopped coming around. The heat lifted
its palms. The radio lost some teeth.
Now I see the landscape behind me
as through a Claude glass—
tinted deeper, framed just so, bits
of gilt edging the best parts.
I see my unlined face, a thousand
film stars behind the eyes. I was
every murderess, every whip-
thin alcoholic, every heroine
with the silver tongue. Always young
Paul Newman’s best girl. Always
a lightning sky behind each kiss.

Some days I watch myself

in the third person, speak to her
in the second. I say: I will
meet you in sleep. I will know you
by your stillness and your shaking.
By your second-hand gown.
By your bruises left by mouths
since forgotten. This is not
an elegy because I cannot bear
for it to be. It is only a tree branch
against the window. It is only a cherry
tomato slowly reddening in the garden.
I will put it in my mouth. It will
be sweet, and you will swallow.

In your life, you meet people. Some you never

think about again. Some, you wonder what
happenend to them. There are some that you
wonder if they ever think about you. And then
there are some you wish you never had to
think about again. But you do.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that
blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning
hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and
weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you
back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars
and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch
you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who
wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re
just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly
reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to
have you…. The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s
her.’

A long time ago, in a city far-far away, two men had an insight.
Ward
Christensen and Randy Suess wanted a way to leave notes and
messages to their
programmer/engineer friends. Back then, modems were used
by field-engineers and
some high-level executives to talk to their companies
computers. A 300 baud
modem was extremely fast, as most people were using 110
baud TeleTypes. Ward
and Randy devloped the concept of the BBS. They called it
CBBS, for “Computer
Bulletin Board System.” CBBS was the first of its kind. It was
an enormous
program written in 8080 assmebly language. By our standards
today, it was
kludgy and bug-ridden, but back then it was heavenly. Users
could enter
messages and read messages… that was about it.

Paul Edgecomb: On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of
his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That is was my job? My job?
John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it
on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the
road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's
coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I
feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can
you understand?
Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John. I think I can.

I’ve been nothin’ but myself since the day I was

born, and if you can’t see that it’s your failin’,
not mine.
— Big Fish (2003) - Memorable quotes

I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you’re
gonna die. I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought
about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help
you, couldn’t it? Because you’d know that everything else you
can survive.

This is your life and it’s ending

one minute at a time.
— Fight Club (1999) - Memorable quotes
Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve
ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God
damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables;
slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and
clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t
need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose
or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our
Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives.
We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d
all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we
won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very
pissed off.
— Fight Club (1999) - Memorable quotes

Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-

serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon
Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-
packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on
each flight? They’re single-serving friends.

Bullshit I can’t hear you.

— Full Metal Jacket (1987) - Memorable quotes

I’ll bet you’re the kind of guy that would fuck a

person in the ass and not even have the
goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-
around. I’ll be watching you

Why should I love God? He strung up his only

son like a side of veal. I shudder to think what
he’d do to me

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!

How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a teatray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!

The wood of suicides has changed since my
last visit to Hell. I remember it as a tiny grove.
Now it resembles a forest.
— Neil Gaiman Quotes, page 1 of 11

The paths fork and divide. With each step you take through
Destiny’s garden, you make a choice; and every choice
determines future paths. However, at the end of a lifetime of
walking you might look back, and see only one path stretching
out behind you; or look ahead, and see only darkness.
— Neil Gaiman Quotes, page 1 of 11

Sometimes you wake up.

Sometimes the fall kills you.
And sometimes, when you fall,
you fly.
— Sandman Quotes
Things need not have happened to be true.
Tales and dreams are the shadow truths that
will endure when mere facts are dust and
ashes, and forgot.
— Sandman Quotes

A dark mirror. Imagine that you woke in the night and rose,
and seemed to see before you another person whom you
slowly perceived to be yourself. Someone had entered in the
night and placed a mirror in your sleeping place, made from a
black metal. You had been frightened only of your reflection.
But then the reflection slowly raised one hand, while your own
stayed still….A dark mirror….That was always the intention….

Why do people think it’s okay for them to do

I’ve gazed into the empty eyes of heartache

Just a bottle and some books to keep me happy,
I tried to hold you close but you always ran.

The secret is not to care.

— Gretchen Rubin

Bros before hos. Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They have got your back, after your ho rips
your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho. And you told her she was the only
ho for you. And that she was better than all the other hos in the world. And then… suddenly she’s not your ho no
mo’.

(via soulgarden)

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break
you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to
risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left,
or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in
heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.

— Louise Erdrich

You know that moment that comes when the last tear falls? The one when you realize that your worst fears have
come to light and you’re still breathing? Never forget the moment you look into the mirror and into your red eyes
and see that you aren’t broken or weak or lost at all. You are thin skin over steel.
