What My Mother Taught Me.

Tell the truth even when it'll get you into trouble. If you have to lie or hide something than you obviously shouldn't be doing it. No matter what people may think about your choices or if they will be disappointed, make them, just so long as you keep moving forward and are happy, that's what matters. Think things through calmly before acting. Try to see from the point of view of those around you. Don't have hate for those who have wronged you, it's a waste of your energy and they're not worth it. If you wake up in the morning and think 'this will be a good day' then it will be a good day. If you work hard people really will notice and you'll be rewarded in the long run. It doesn't cost anything to be nice. It's okay to try new things at least once, just don't turn the bad ones into a lifestyle. Don't dwell on the bad things, don't obsess, sometimes things aren't as bad as you make them out to be. And finally, have more faith in those that really love you.
