So for some reason I'm feeling very wise tonight. I figure, I'm gonna be 25 soon. And a quarter of a century is enough to have learned some things. So I decided to make a little list of lessons and laws of life. Just little things that are true for me, things I live by, shit like that. So here it is. Follow it well.

- You’re awesome if you say you are.

- Drink as much water as you possibly can.

- Some days you get the bear. Other days the bear eats you. But always dress for the hunt.

- Love is more important than anything else.

- Only do it if you really mean it.

- Only buy used books.

- Cuss.

- If something needs to be said, fucking say it. It will only hurt someone if they deserve to get hurt by it.

- Never hurt yourself to keep from laughing.

- Never laugh to keep yourself from hurting.

- Pain is natural. Never ignore it. It exists to let you know something isn’t right.

- Do it now, find a way to pay for it later.

- Don’t keep anything hidden from others, it makes you a coward.

- Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. If you hate yourself that much, make the decision to change.

- Your enemies already know how much you dislike them so just leave them alone. Use your time to tell the people you love how you really feel.

- Don’t be afraid of your feelings. Accept them. They’re the one thing you can’t change about yourself.

- Most of the things we regret are not things we’ve done, but opportunities we’ve lost. CARPE DIEM!

- Don’t fucking lie. Period.

So, I guess that's my life list for now. I believe evertying on that list as either something I have learned to be true, or a law that I follow in my life. And now I'm going to bed.
