50 Things I’ve Learned in my First 50 Years


Earth Life is a Gift. Bend or Break, Keane


Experience is what we’re after, not perfection. Little Giant, Roo Panes


Become Like a Little Child, Childhood is underrated. Don’t let your imagination die; or at least flame it in others. Heroes, David Bowie


There’s room for all of us. Holdin’ Out, The Lumineers


Feel Your Feelings, Don’t apologize for being shown. Show Vulnerability, Show up as you are, no matter how sappy etc. I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You, Elvis Presley


Whether you can or can’t DANCE, have the soul of a dance! Be a fool! ENJOY what is there WHEN it is THERE! Weird Is Good. Can’t Stop the Feeling, Justin TImberlake


Kermit is about the best thing there is, next to Piggy. Rainbow Connection, Muppet Movie Soundtrack


The Force is REAL. We all are Skywalkers! Star Wars (Epic Main Theme), Samuel Kim


Find your people. Friends are the family you choose!. THe Fellowship is Real. We meet others at a certain time for certain reasons! Never Tear us Apart


A great teacher is priceless. Mr Swallow Can Can, Offenbach


Sunshine on My Shoulders Makes Me Happy. Preferably with an ocean. Always. Sunshine on My Shoulders Makes Me Happy. John Denver


DON’T save up for a rainy day! I LIVED, One Republic


You are always more and better than you think you are. Be Yourself. This is Me, Greatest Showman Soundtrack. 7th Grade


You will always need good music in your life. The Smiths single handedly got me through adolescence. Favorite Song: All I Want is You, U2–the full version!

Education is a WONDERFUL INVESTMENT that pays amazing dividends! And education shows up in a lot of ways. TRAVEL. LIFE Pumping Blood, NoNoNo


Hearts Break. And hurt. And yet still keep on beating. After that, I was always a little gentler with others' hearts. HONESTY is kinder in the Long run. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, The Smiths or Nothing Compares to You, PRINCE


Temptation is REAL. And more real is what you do with it. It is our CHOICES that define us. "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." “Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon, we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” Into Temptation, Crowded House


Sometimes you have to say goodbye to say hello. Find those who believe in you, or even if it’s just YOU, GO FOR IT!! Either way, you will learn damnit. What I Wish Just One Person Would Say to Me, LANY


It’s going to cost you nothing less than everything. Pray your Gods, Toad the Wet Sprocket.


LIVE WITH PASSION AND PURPOSE. LIGHT ON FIRE! Fire and the Flood, Vance Joy


Death and Rebirth are a divine pattern. From the microcosmic to the macro cosmic. You even have to say goodbye to all of the previous versions of yourself. Fix You, Coldplay
