This my last post in this blog. I want this last one to be a good one. This is just a list of things I've been thinking about lately.

1. Understand that there aren't a lot of people who've got your back. Your family, maybe a few friends(maybe). Be able to deal with that. Always have a plan.

2. Screw optimism or pessimism. Adopt realism. It's not hard to deduct what's going to happen if you use your head.

3. Get rid of emotional residue. Right now. TODAY. Everybody has some. Get rid of the leftovers, unless you enjoy complacency. Give up the old, bring in the new.

4. Have compassion, if you can. It's not something everyone can do. If you have the gift, USE IT.

5. The truest things I know to do are these: Love God, and love others. Everything else will fall into place. Don't lose yourself in between their. Once you stop loving people, it's hard to start again. Love always. Be joyful always.

Because, frankly, the rest is just commentary.
