The Meaning of Life

I need to stop smoking weed. I need to stop drinking. I need to fucking find myself...

I've made a few new rules for life:

1. Never have sex again until marriage.
2. Especially don't have sex with someone if it's only the first night they've shown interest in you, no matter how long you had a crush on them.
3. No more drinking. It gives you poor judgement and leads to stupid decisions.
4. No more smoking. It seems pretty fucking good for you (makes everything seem happier, makes you more creative, allows you to process your thoughts better), but it makes you irresponsible, and makes people disappointed in you.
5. Always have some sort of job, so you're doing something and feel like a more valuable part of society rather than just a lazy bum with too much time to think.
6. Stop sleeping with your contacts in, even if it is only for a few hours.
7. Don't waste your time on guys as long as you're in school.. Just focus on your work and get good grades. Even if you go out to a club with some friends and some guy hits on you.. Realize that the kind of guy you meet at a bar is not the kind of guy worth keeping, and forget about him.
8. Never underestimate the power of a warm shower.. It can make you feel better physically and mentally.
9. Keep your nails painted, it's more attractive and girly and makes you happy when you look at them.
10. Never look back on the past. Yeah, things might have been good while they lasted, like me and Greg... But everything that comes to an end comes to an end for a reason... Never forget that reason, cause it will always be there, no matter how many times you may try. (which is why couples who are constantly breaking up and getting back together never last for good.. they're afraid of being alone, but know they're not compatible. If they were, they wouldn't keep breaking up... and that is how I'm feeling, afraid to be alone, but thinking it's easier just to give up and go back to what I'm familiar with, or comfortable with, rather than doing the right thing and moving on with my life...)
11. Never give up. Things might get hard, but you'll always make it through.
12. Some things are greater than yourself.. Sometimes there is just a bigger plan for you, and you just need to let it happen, accepted it.. And learn from it.
13. Age is just a number. Don't bother trying to "act your age," just be yourself!
14. Take care of your teeth.
15. Learn how to give people space. Not everyone wants to be near you or talk to you every time you want to.. So just accept it and move on with your life instead of dwelling on things happening that weren't meant to happen, and that they don't want to happen.
16. Find out who you are, always be yourself, and never lose sight of who that person is.. Realize your changes and accept them.. But never become a stranger to yourself.
17. Blood is thicker than water. Always put your family first. And close friends are family, too. Don't let any water come in between you and dilute your blood.
18. Always tell the truth, and be completely honest. Sometimes that means not being nice, but it is better and easier in the end than being nice and leading people on.
19. The harder the time in your life, the more worthwhile it is in the end. Sometimes it's necessary for things to hurt so much, because if they didn't you wouldn't truly learn from it.. If you didn't know what kind of pain a certain mistake would bring you, you would just keep making the same mistake over and over. Pain is a necessary part of learning and growing, and if you never experienced all the bad times, you'd never be able to truly appreciate all of the good times.
20. Life is short. Don't waste it. Live the best you can, and live only for yourself. When you start living your life just to please other people, you're not really living.
21. Some of the hardest things in life are just tests. It's impossible to study for them because you can rarely see them coming, but you just do the best you can and even if you fail, you're still learning.
22. Take good care of yourself... You only get one body, and if you treat it like shit it will fail you. It's like owning a car. If you take care of it by giving it an oil change every time you need one, by fixing even the littlest problems before it makes anything else worse, and by using preventative maintenance, it will last you a lifetime. If you treat it like shit, and put bad things into it, like watered down gas, and old oil, and never fix anything, it will fail you.
23. Never forward junk email.
24. Never feel alone. Just because someone's not always showing you they care doesn't mean they don't.
25. Don't neglect people. Never treat anyone with less respect than you would treat yourself, and always treat them the way you would like to be treated.
26. Don't talk about people behind their backs. Never say anything about anyone that you wouldn't say to their face.
27. If you're ugly on the inside, you're ugly on the outside. Be beautiful to people, and you will be a beautiful person.

I guess that's it, I'll shut up now.
