Is it true? Think thoroughly Close the doors Are you ready to face them? You don’t have to be the one That opens the curtains in the morning But why not? How about we try? Consecutive success sounds boring Let’s try something new this time Just for once It probably won’t hurt It’s much easier to stop than you think It’s mostly your childhood bias that makes you think so Children find it hard to resist pleasure You? Not as much as them Experiment It’s fun to do every once in a while Sometimes you’ll see something interesting at school You don’t need to befriend every single person In the same vein, You don’t need to have everyone’s amiability It would be better, but it’s not necessary You will meet some friends Some who will stay with you Some who shared a chapter of your life And gave their farewells And one (Or two. Or three. However you like) Of those who stay Will be your lover (Or lovers. However you like) Sometimes it’s easier to laugh than mope If doing something for yourself means That you should do something you dislike Choose one. There’s no wrong answer But remember the consequences You might not always like them When you decide you want to love Deciding is enough It might come, or it might not Whatever it is, enjoy You aren’t your ideal of beauty But if you look at yourself long enough In the mirror You will see what some others do Stare into your eyes Caress the shape of your lips with your gaze Try and stare apathetically at your reflection You can’t Do you have a hairy body? Okay Do you have a hairless body? Alright Decisions, decisions... They make up most But not all Even so, it's a step So your friend liked it Do you actually want to lend it? Do you feel obligated to? Because if you don't want to, don't If let, people will choose to ignore Not many want to engage You are what you want to be You might not think so, but it counts At least, where it matters What matters who you love? Relying on family's support... It's nothing to worry about. They'll die at some point, and you are free of them. There's no shame in breaking off from the chain. Keep your support, don't alienate them But don't depend on them. For if you want freedom, You need your own help But most of all remember that everything will be okay.

For me to check every once in a while, advice for myself (when I forget)
