Truths every teenager need to wrap their head around:

  1. Right now, you probably have hundreds of “friends” on social media. You can count the real ones on one hand. ✋ This becomes clearer as you mature.
  2. Surround yourself with goal oriented people.
  3. You can disagree with someone without being an asshole.
  4. Spelling and punctuation matter.
  5. Real music moves your soul, not just your booty. 🎶
  6. Don’t give up on your dreams. Ever.
  7. Your parents aren’t perfect, neither are you. Their mistakes are not yours, and your mistakes shouldn’t become their burden.
  8. Take care of your body, mind, and soul. Exercise, read, meditate. Praise the wonders of nature. Everyday.
  9. Laugh. Often. Loudly.
  10. Always seek good in people, places, and seemingly hopeless situations. Even if no one else does.
  11. Love yourself. Unconditionally. Then, give that love away to someone who needs it.
  12. Be gracious. Always.
