Don’t shy away from the world. You will get hurt. You will hurt others, even if you don’t mean to. Pain is inevitable through life. But joy is too. So seize the day.

Love hard.

Get lots of sleep.

Eat well.

And remember our flower rule: if it doesn’t make you grow or blossom—let it go.

L. J. Shen, The Devil Wears Black
