“Don’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.”

Then one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role.

You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.

There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness.

You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.

You’re going to have a busy life. Thank goodness there’s no life expectancy.

Find that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession.

They would be very disappointed that they didn’t meet their life expectancy.

Bad news. Read the papers. There are people dropping dead when they’re 50, 40, 30 years old. Or quite possibly just after finishing their convocation.

We learn the true worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul…

Loving someone has great benefits.

It is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions.

You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated.

Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone.

So here you are, in your twenties, thinking that you’ll have another 40 years to go.

Tt continues while we’re still trying to figure out the point of it. And it ends long before we’ve worked out just what to do.

Four decades in which to live long and prosper.

The world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehow.

Don’t forget to erase every trace of me from your skin, You wouldn’t want the truth to show.

And that is how time heals, not by erasing but by blurring all the memories.

I pencil you in my heart to erase you out when the loving gets hard.

Time is a gentleman! It never erases beautiful things.

Either you’re the one erasing or you’re the one being erased.

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.

You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
