1) people will hurt you. Let it go. Forgiveness is key.
2) wearing a mask doesn't mean people can't see you (I learned this the hard way).
3) loving someone doesn't mean they have to love you back.
4) sometimes, you don't want to die. You're just afraid to live.
5) when your castle walls start to crumble, let them. The view is beautiful outside of them.
6) people are beautiful. Let yourself marvel at them.
7) loving yourself comes first. Forget the boy with the cigarettes.
8) a book can be the difference between a bad day and a good one. Always have one with you.
9) laughter truly is the best medicine.
10) don't be afraid to walk in the rain. It can wash almost anything away.
