Maybe it's just me, but my outlook on life is that you shouldn't hide anything.

If you're going to do something, don't hold back - go full tilt.

There is no point in letting people make you feel worthless. You only need you and that's it. Don't give a fuck about them and what they say.

Family isn't blood - it's the people who are there for you when you need them most.

Do what you think is right. Because even if you get it wrong, it's still right.

Don't let faceless people run your life.

Don't let them box you in. Don't let yourself be contained and pacified.

Keeping secrets is pointless. If you didn't keep them then they wouldn't be secrets. They would just be facts, and there would be no shame about them.

Tell people what you think of them and their actions. You'd want the same thing.

Be nice to those who are nice to you. There's no point in hating everyone. Mutual dislike is ok though.

Teen angst is overrated. So you feel like shit? So what? Everyone has already lived through every emotion that you think is yours alone.

Everything has already been done. You can only attempt to do it better.

Change is good. Change brings new opportunities which you wouldn't have otherwise had.

In the words of my favourite poet: feel no shame for what you are.

The wheel of fortune is always turning. There are high points and low points in life. Live with it.

Everyone has an alterior motive.

Be who you are. Don't change for anyone except yourself.

Do what you like because you like it - not because it's cool. Like what you like because you like it.

Help people because you can, not because you should.

Everything happens for a reason.
