some things I wish I’d learned in school

(I messed up my challenge entry but I'm posting this anyways)

listen to your gutt

it is more powerful than

all of your five senses combined

more people will hurt you than will help you

but love will make you forget the pain

bad hair days happen to everyone

if you get tired of them

but shave it all off

it will grow back and you will better appreciate the warmth

take a day off

it's okay to fall apart for a little

kindness saves lives

never ever eat popcorn kernels

your skin is sacred

and does not deserve

to feel any pain

no matter what

the voices say

always carry pain killer and bandaids

you're never too cool for anything

there's no need to be ashamed

in enjoying life

socks and sandals are actually really comfortable

some day there will be someone

who traces your flaws

like they are paint strokes

on the canvas of your body

containing the masterpiece of your being

chocolate fixes almost everything

hug people who smell good

smell good

people will want to hug you

sometimes you will feel like

you can't go on

but if you hold on

just a little longer

you'll breathe again

I promise
