What I’ve Learned In 16 Years


Don’t judge distance by a rearview mirror,
Your past is not too far behind you
In fact, it could be tiptoeing just inches away from you, waiting to tap you on the shoulder and ask
Remember me?
Maps are better when read upside down because getting lost in something happens by chance.
Right turns are wrong turns
You may not know that now but you’ll learn soon.
Pick up pennies from the sidewalk
 They’re God’s way of saying “just because”
And before you know it your pockets will be jingling like a wind chime.
Don’t be afraid to get hurt,
Scars are timelines of flesh
They mean that you’ve faced bigger demons than the ones before you today.
Take pain with a teaspoon of sugar, there will be sweeter times to ahead of you.
When taking a math test, choose the answer opposite of what calculated.
You’re often more wrong than you are right
But that’s okay. It makes for better stories.
That little voice telling you what to do, it know what it’s talking about.
Try to listen.
Be careful of rooftops, the view is great but the concrete below is hard.

Never stand too close to the edge.
