28 things I’ve learned

Treat the people around you with care and attentiveness. There’s nothing more important than paying attention to the people you care about.

Never be mean to anybody. Every single moment that will ever haunt you is a time you were mean or careless.

When you’re having conflict with someone you care about, try to be the bigger person. It feels way better to be understanding and forgiving than it does to hold a grudge. Sometimes other people need your help to show up as their best self.
