  6. But let us get one thing straight: the best years of our lives are not behind us. They’re part of us and they are set for repetition as we grow up and move to New York and away from New York and wish we did or didn’t live in New York. I plan on having parties when I’m 30. I plan on having fun when I’m old. Any notion of THE BEST years comes from clichéd “should haves…” “if I’d…” “wish I’d…”

    …
    We’re so young. We’re so young. We’re twenty-two years old. We have so much time. There’s this sentiment I sometimes sense, creeping in our collective conscious as we lay alone after a party, or pack up our books when we give in and go out – that it is somehow too late. That others are somehow ahead. More accomplished, more specialized. More on the path to somehow saving the world, somehow creating or inventing or improving. That it’s too late now to BEGIN a beginning and we must settle for continuance, for commencement.

    …
    What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’s hilarious. We’re graduating college. We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.

    The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan

    go read the whole thing.

    It’s not only tragic that she died, cutting short a life with so much possibility and promise and life left to live, but I also think it’s incredibly tragic that it took her death to bring her words to so many people, myself included. But I’m grateful that I did find them, because they’re pretty amazing.

  10. May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
    Neil Gaiman

  14. 60 Ways to Make Life Simple Again

    searchingfor-peace:

    youcanalwayscomehome:

    Life is not complex.  We are complex.  Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing. - Oscar Wilde

    1. Don’t try to read other people’s minds.  Don’t make other people try to read yours.  Communicate.
    2. Be polite, but don’t try to be friends with everyone around you.  Instead, spend time nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you.
    3. Your health is your life, keep up with it.  Get an annual physical check-up.
    4. Live below your means.  Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.  Always sleep on big purchases.  Create a budget and savings plan and stick to both of them.
    5. Get enough sleep every night.  An exhausted mind is rarely productive.
    6.  Get up 30 minutes earlier so you don’t have to rush around like a mad man.  That 30 minutes will help you avoid speeding tickets, tardiness, and other unnecessary headaches.
    7. Get off your high horse, talk it out, shake hands or hug, and move on.
    8. Don’t waste your time on jealously.  The only person you’re competing against is yourself.
    9. Surround yourself with people who fill your gaps.  Let them do the stuff they’re better at so you can do the stuff you’re better at.
    10. Organize your living space and working space.  Read David Allen’s book Getting Things Done for some practical organizational guidance.
    11. Get rid of stuff you don’t use.
    12. Ask someone if you aren’t sure.
    13. Spend a little time now learning a time-saving trick or shortcut that you can use over and over again in the future.
    14. Don’t try to please everyone.  Just do what you know is right.
    15. Don’t drink alcohol or consume recreational drugs when you’re mad or sad.  Take a jog instead.
    16. Be sure to pay your bills on time.
    17. Fill up your gas tank on the way home, not in the morning when you’re in a hurry.
    18. Use technology to automate tasks.
    19. Handle important two-minute tasks immediately.
    20. Relocate closer to your place of employment.
    21. Don’t steal.
    22. Always be honest with yourself and others.
    23. Say “I love you” to your loved ones as often as possible.
    24. Single-task.  Do one thing at a time and give it all you got.
    25. Finish one project before you start another.
    26. Be yourself.
    27. When traveling, pack light.  Don’t bring it unless you absolutely must.
    28. Clean up after yourself.  Don’t put it off until later.
    29. Learn to cook, and cook.
    30. Make a weekly (healthy) menu, and shop for only the items you need.
    31. Consider buying and cooking food in bulk.  If you make a large portion of something on Sunday, you can eat leftovers several times during the week without spending more time cooking.
    32. Stay out of other people’s drama.  And don’t needlessly create your own.
    33. Buy things with cash.
    34. Maintain your car, home, and other personal belongings you rely on.
    35. Smile often, even to complete strangers.
    36. If you hate doing it, stop it.
    37. Treat everyone with the same level of respect you would give to your grandfather and the same level of patience you would have with your baby brother.
    38. Apologize when you should.
    39. Write things down.
    40. Be curious.  Don’t be scared to learn something new.
    41. Explore new ideas and opportunities often.
    42. Don’t be shy.  Network with people.  Meet new people.
    43. Don’t worry too much about what other people think about you.
    44. Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven, and likeminded.
    45. Don’t text and drive.  Don’t drink and drive.
    46. Drink water when you’re thirsty.
    47. Don’t eat when you’re bored.  Eat when you’re hungry.
    48. Exercise every day.  Simply take a long, relaxing walk or commit 30 minutes to an at-home exercise program like the P90X workout.
    49. Let go of things you can’t change.  Concentrate on things you can.
    50. Find hard work you actually enjoy doing.
    51. Realize that the harder you work, the luckier you will become.
    52. Follow your heart.  Don’t waste your life fulfilling someone else’s dreams and desires.
    53. Set priorities for yourself and act accordingly.
    54. Take it slow and add up all your small victories.
    55. However good or bad a situation is now, it will change.  Accept this simple fact.
    56. Excel at what you do.  Otherwise you’ll just frustrate yourself.
    57. Mature, but don’t grow up too fast.
    58. Realize that you’re never quite as right as you think you are.
    59. Build something or do something that makes you proud.
    60. Make mistakes, learn from them, laugh about them, and move along.

    all of the above.
