13 things my dad forgot to tell me before he died: not everyone will feel or think the way you do and that’s okay scraped knees and sprained ankles will hurt but self hatred will **** you the most it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all read as many books as you can in your lifetime allow yourself to feel and experience the things in life that scare you the most, you will grow from these and learn valuable information don’t let the way others treat you affect how you view yourself, you are not nothing your education is important but there’s more to life than high grades the prettiest rose still has thorns so be careful with who you pick up cameras can’t capture the full beauty of the earth so put down your electronics and go sight seeing with just your eyes and maybe a lover others may give up and give in but that doesn’t mean you should follow them it wasn’t your fault i’m sorry for leaving i love you
