Retrospective

The things I would tell myself a year ago:

- Find the joy in the things you find joy-less.
- Do what you want.
- Follow what you love.
- Crying is okay.

- Physical pain is relative.

- Don't underestimate the power of really bad rap music.

- Dance. Just go and dance.

- Being alone isn't as scary as you think.

- Being alone can actually be pretty great (and feel free to explain this to people when you take yourself out to dinner).

- Feelings are allowed.

- You are going to find friends in unexpected ways. Get over it.

- You are more like your parents than you will ever admit.
