"And kid , you've got to love yourself. You've got to wake up in the morning at four, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You've got to sit next to that random stranger at the train station who's reading your favourite book and strike up a conversation.  You've got to come home after having a terrible day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you can wash all your sheets until they smell like that lemon detergent that you bought for four pounds at your local grocery store. Kid, you've got to stop taking everything so goddamn personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. Compliment someone's crooked brows at that art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid-July. You've got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won't matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturdays but wake yourself up early on Sundays. You've got to stop worrying about what she'll say when she finds out. Stop thinking why he stopped thinking about you six months ago. Most of all, you've got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. Fuck it. Love yourself, kid. You've got to fucking love yourself.
