all the way up, listen to your favorite
song. Ignore the stare of other drivers.
Take a day off, drive down to the beach.
Eat your lunch on the pier. Turn off
your computer, write everything down
by hand. Pick a piece of fruit from a tree,
bite into it. Drive aimlessly time-to-time,
remember the journey is what counts most.
Look at childhood pictures of your family.
Don’t be afraid to cry. Remind loved ones
of their importance. Get drunk with friends
once in a while. Speak when necessary,
always listen. Try putting hot sauce
on your eggs for breakfast. Travel.
Read books. Sing off key. Dance as the moment
moves you. Don’t be afraid to be silly. Don’t
always act your age. Tell your parents they were
right. Have kids, or don’t. Talk to the old timer
at the bar. Have a favorite jazz musician.
Become a regular at a business. Visit
the grave of a favorite writer, have a picnic.
Take a road-trip with friends while you can.
Love wisely, love deeply. Never let bitterness
take root. Remember to breathe.
Be responsible. Visit your grandparents.
Look up when it rains, watch. Stay out late.
Laugh as often as possible. Don’t be afraid
to disagree. Learn to speak another language.
Mend fences, both literal and figurative.
