Child. Wait.
If I am not alive to tell you more
I tell you this, now.
Do not trust the others that you know,
They will only let you down.
Do not seek pleasure in anyone other than yourself.
Be bitter, bitterness will make you hard.
If you are already bitter they will not crush you quite so much.
Prepare for unexpected rejection,
(If you succeed in this it is only luck).
Do not feel obliged to care.
Live anywhere-
you will only ever meet bastards.
Do not feel that anyone should care about you.
You are nothing to anyone, and everything to no one.
You will never mean more to someone
than they mean to themselves.
Be Selfish!
Seek pleasure in everything but do not expect to find it.
Cry!
Do not respect your body it was created with limitations.
Do not respect other people-
they are unlimited in number but pointless in function.
Expect hurt.
Do something everyday that worries you.
Respect your inner sense of paranoia.
Eat whatever you do not have to pay for.
Do not pay heed to anyone's advice, it is invariably wrong.
Be afraid of people who think they are your friends.
Forget what anyone tells you about sunscreen.
