When some one asks you where your home is, do not say his name. Do not say anything. He should not be the place where you feel most safe because his two arms do not suffice for the four walls where you should feel content. If you are not happy with yourself, then you cannot be happy with him.

2. Sit on your roof. Even if it’s only once a week, once a month or once a year. Just sit there. Bring someone or go alone but do not sit there and stare at the stars wishing you were looking down from the sky. You needn't say, think or do anything for a short amount of time so spend it satisfied with your life.

3. If you would not say it to someone you love, do not let someone you love say it to you. You are just as precious as they are, maybe even more.

4. If you like the song, then listen to it again. and again. and once again. Listen to it until the words ring through your mind in the silence. Do not share it with anyone. It may become theirs and you do not want this. Listen to it again.

5. Wear your good shoes. Not the ones that look nice but make you sore. The ones that let you drop your responsibilities and run faster than you ever have before. No one likes the kid that spends the night complaining about their feet.

6. When someone breaks your heart, buy a plant. water it every time you cry and when it dies because you have drowned it, buy a new one.  After there are no tears left and you can finally care for your new plant, you will come to the realisation that although your tears can drown a shrub, they will never drown you. Once you fully understand this. You can finally blossom like the plant you deserve to be.

7. Never judge a book by a cover or a poem by it's title. Words can mean almost anything and sometimes, most shockingly of all. They lie.
