Things I’ve learned. Things I’m learning.

Write down your story.

Travel.

Feel the first wind of the year

But don’t let it knock you over.

Always bring a jacket,

You never know how cold someone can make you feel

Over tip your server (repeatedly)

Too many people never learned how to calculate 20 percent

Demand respect for your intelligence

Believing your stupid

Let’s people believe you’re stupid

And that process of thought…

Is just stupid.

You are the smartest person I’ve ever met.

Call your mom every day

And if she’s some place

Your smart phone can’t reach

Use your hands and voice

For prayer is powerful.

Someone will always pronounce it “tomahto”

Let them.
