nothing can prepare you for the heartbreak you felt the morning you found out that your best friend died. Just remember- he loved you and he always will.

 You know that dorky boy you work with at Haagen Dazs? You are going to end up marrying him. And being happier than you could ever imagine.

 Don't drink the Whiskey

 Don't loose yourself. Keep the things that make you you. You will want them in the future.

 No matter how hard you try to make your Mom happy and try to save her, she's still going to overdose on medication. Untie the apron strings and love living your own life, instead of trying to help her want to live hers. People have to save themselves.

 Putting your childhood dog to sleep will never feel like the right choice. You'll always question yourself.

 You don't have to be in a relationship with a man that makes you feel inadequate. Later in life he will get it, but is it worth the wait?

 Good on you for realizing that having a relationship doesn't create happiness. Pleasing yourself first in your college years, no matter how hard it seemed at the time, was wise beyond all reckoning. Try more to help others see this, too.
