50 years, 5 thoughts: one for each decade

1. Never keep your drink next to your paint water. 
2. Don’t try to argue or counter what people say about you. Quietly hold on to your truth and you will discover who your true friends are. 
3. Don’t settle. If you know in your heart that it’s not 100% right, don’t do it. Trust that the right thing will eventually come to you. 
4. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. You can earn more money later. Don’t pass up fun, life enhancing opportunities. Learn to say yes and just buy the fucking shoes. 
5. It’s ok to shed the people who do not love you for who you are, and who don’t support your dreams and crazy ideas. Hang on dearly and tightly to the people who love and support you.
