Caption: Notes for my DAUGHTER
Caption: I'm not sure it’s really possible to fast-track wisdom, but in case it is - & in case I get hit by a bus tomorrow -
here is an ongoing list of
things I want you to know.
Picture
Caption: Read, voraciously.
It doesn't matter what.
Picture
Caption: Stay curious!
Curiosity squashes fear - it's almost impossible to feel both at once.
Picture
Caption: Plant things & watch
them grow. It helps
build patience.
Picture
Caption: Play games that don't involve a screen.
Picture
Caption: Try to keep in mind what the animal in you would do; listen to your instincts when it comes to food, parenting, relationships, sleep.
Picture
Caption: Everyone believes they are an above-average driver.
Picture
Caption: Media- & porn-style sex is rarely sexy or fun. Do not let the money-makers dictate your sexuality.
Picture
Caption: If something's missing,
tidy up.
Picture
Caption: Face your fears &
your hardest feelings
head on. You can only
delay them for so long,
& they get bigger while
you ignore them.
Picture
Caption: Spoil the people you love whenever you get chance.
Tell them why you love them.
Picture
Caption: Perfecting at least
one really kickass
pasta recipe is an
essential life skill.
Picture
Caption: If in doubt,
paint it white.
Picture
Caption: Confidence is silent. Insecurities are loud.
Picture
Caption: Get more sleep!
Picture
Caption: Learn when to say 'that's your shit'. You are not responsible for everybody else's problems.
