To be quiet more. Be angry less. Watch shows and read books and listen to music people recommend to me, and not forget. Cry, without anxiety, embarrassment, fear or shame. Trust. Bite at the skin of my lips less. Sing more. Remember to put lotion on my hands—the winter always makes them so dry. Read some, stop, start again. Give myself true grace. Eat before one PM. Stop dreaming about leaving and live where I’m at. Pay closer attention to my curls. Pet the cats. Hug my brother. Text my best friends goodnight. Workout with the intent to get stronger and not just to look better. Turn my phone off. Floss my teeth. Try new perfumes. Pass my math class. Make more money. Get more tattoos. Get more sleep. Call my grandma. Call my other grandma. Fold my socks. Stop blaming stupid shit on timing. Take accountability. Learn how to make more meals. Buy less plastic. Try spicier foods. Book my first solo flight. Get comfortable disappointing people. Make my dad laugh more. Make my mom relax. Write whenever I need to—in class, at home, in the bathroom. Perfect my handshake. Fix my posture. Scream if I need to scream. Release my shame.
Forgive.
Forgive.
Forgive.
