    Here’s my rantomendation:

    Don’t hit, mame or kill anybody ever. That includes when driving.

    When driving pay attention to the road and only to the road. Ignore work or home or school problems. Don’t zone out.

    Listen to your parents but don’t listen to the parts that limit you. Be gay if you are or straight or smart or whatever, be you. But listen to the good advice.

    Fuck a lot

    Eat healthy

    Pay attention in school and learn from others. Be observant and follow in other people’s steps long enough to learn to blaze your own path.

    Don’t get a school loan or max out your credit cards.

    Work thru school in a light non interrupting way. Don’t get an 8hr job, just something part time.

    Get that diploma and go find a job where they pay you for what you know. Work on something you like to do. Work to live, not live to work. But to get here, don’t skip steps…sweep the floor before you shoot for CEO.

    Mourn your losses, everyone dies. Be happy with yours while you can. Family is everything and there’s not much more than your own personal desires beyond family. But if you don’t have kids by chance or by choice, still be happy. There’s plenty of people who choose not to have kids or be married or be in a relationship. Have bobbies. There’s a lot of you time towards the end part of your life. So Hobbies are good. Watching people is a hobby.

    Be at peace. Don’t hate and help others not hate. Racism is the worse. So if you can help a racist person to accept others then that’s good.
