1. Remind yourself that the universe doesn’t always cry when things fall apart because the sound of breaking isn’t always bad.
2. This time around, you do you because you’ve spent too many years making sacrifices for the people you love and tend to forget yourself way too often.
3. Do not ever be sorry for being an exclamation point or a parenthetical phrase.
4. You are not allowed to call yourself an accident because scientists have hypothesized that the moon was caused by an accidental collision between Earth and Mars, yet it still roars when all light has been swallowed up.
5. Don’t ever settle for someone who forgets that leaving things better than the way you found them is not just a basic etiquette rule. They’ll be the first to leave you shipwrecked on far too familiar shores.
6. Give second chances – even to the people who’ve never given you a first.
7. Celebrate yourself as much as you celebrate others. Call yourself worthy; call yourself wonderful.
