1. Do not date a boy who does not care what your favorite song is. The boy who does not care what melodies ignite your heart strings with love and wonder while staring at passing street lights on the last train home, will not care if its 2 AM and your heart is breaking. 2. Do not let anyone fold you up like last winters tattered scarfs and put you away with the others in a neatly labeled box. Even when there is thunder and the sky is crying, you are your moms favorite summer dress. You are to wear yourself like you believe it. 3. We are all stories. Write yours how you want. Make todays chapter about purposely taking the wrong bus and discovering a tiny blue tea shop, or folding origami paper hearts over and over on your window sill. Just make sure its something youd enjoy reading. 4. I will always try to save you. 5. Someday you will be 19 and lost and heartbroken and you will think of a place youve seen on TV or heard or read about in a book or seen a picture of. You will feel your heart drop into your stomach. Go there. For a day, a month, forever, but its important you go there. 6. The world is so beautiful. Do not let the slumped over homeless man outside the convenience store or the stories of guns and bombs on the television make you believe otherwise. We are all so lost. All of us. We all have to show it in different ways. I write bad poems. Others start wars. There is no inherent evil, only good people searching too hard. 7. I love everything about you. 8. Money turns people into liars and emotional ghosts. School grades are an inaccurate representation of you. Measure your lifes worth in how many times youve nearly lost your life to laughter, how many books youve closed with happy tears in your eyes, people whose lives youve brought joy to, eaten marshmallows, or countries visited. 9. Dont let anyone tell you to stop crying. Cry if you want to. Its okay. You are allowed. 10. My best friend once told me that the most important decision he had ever made was to love everyone and everything. Hes the only person Ive ever known to have a viewable aura of light around him. Dont forget to love this world, to love people. Be light. You are already mine. - 10 things I will tell my daughter.
