The Library Tour

1. Burn scented candles, warm your soul with the sweet scent of vanilla on a rainy, otherwise depressing day.

2. Keep a diary. Some days you won't feel like writing. Don't. Never force yourself to do anything you don't want to do. Keep it going though. If you even feel the slightest of temptations to let go, pick up that pen and get writing.

3. Nothing is perfect. Stop kidding yourself. Creativity is far better than perfection. Be creative. Feel. Let your passions shine out of you like golden rays of sunshine. Express yourself. Enjoy yourself.

4. Be nice to people. Try. Try every single day to make people happy. If you find yourself in an argument, turn it around. Make people smile. Make it the most important tool you can hold. It will get you places. Trust me. I've seen it work.

5. Don't let people trample you. If you're always being nice, people are going to start being nasty. Don't let them get the satisfaction of breaking you. Just walk away from them. Sometimes, that's all you can do to stay true to yourself. Love yourself. They are just jealous. I know that's what people always say but they say it because it's true. Why else would someone be mean to a lovely person such as yourself?
6. Learn to embrace yourself. You don't need to love yourself, few rarely do. Follow your dreams. Reach higher and higher. Work your way to the top. It'll be worth it. Stop listening to people who try to mould you into the person they want you to be. Be yourself for yourself. Make yourself happy. I think that's probably your number one goal, the one thing with which you should use force. Get yourself out of bed and begin to study the stars or ride that bicycle or make a collage. Do whatever makes you feel happy. If you feel like ripping through 10 magazines and sticking them down on a piece of paper matching the tones together to create a winter wonderland of your own imagination, do it. Stop hesitating. Express your emotions in whichever way your body works best.

7. Make yourself feel good. If that means layering on the make up, do it. If that means being the natural beauty that you are, do that too. Be your own walking contradiction. Make people wonder and stare. Hold the limelight. You earned it.

8. By all means, keep memories, whether they're in your head or on paper or stuck to the walls of your bedroom. However, don't stop making them. Keep going. Make a new memory every week. Time will never stand still and regrets can really hold you back. Don't let them.

9. Learn that money, education, careers, clothes, make up, cars, none of that really matters unless you're enjoying life and you're doing what you've always wanted to do. There's always a way in to anything. Keep fighting for it because that spark that lights up your soul and keeps you going, that's really something. It's special. It's you.

10. It's never too late to start really living and feeling alive so don't you ever give up. There's a whole universe out there and I'm telling you this now because it's taken me 19 years to realise it.
