Dear teenagers


Have fun and rebel

When else will you do it?

Do whatever your heart feels, sing if you want, randomly dance in malls, do exciting things and don’t always have a plan! Let things fall into place and loosen up but please respect your parents and appreciate them, they deserve it more than you think. Go laugh in math class and trash a fancy dinner, go run around in play ground in quiet evening with the best of buddies. Have a small group of friends but be completely in love with them. Make sure you enjoy their company and make friend for lifetime. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Then repeat. Really know what it is to love and go cry and be upset but find your escape in the process. Hold on to that escape. Do stupid things but be smart and know your boundaries. Experiment, over and over and understand new things and create new things. Leave time to read. And then a beer. And then a poem and then playstation. Maybe go over your curfew, cook for your mom, make out with a stranger, wear a furry coat. Experiment.

The last thing you want is to be boring. Stuck in a room with school work all over you and your 4 walls to be your only true friend.

Let loose.
