what I've learned so far:

doing things together is a whole lot funner.

invite everyone you know.

talk and talk and talk and talk.

if you're going to do it, believe in it, if you believe in it you better damn well do it the best you possibly can.

sleep isn't going to be a thing we get as often as we want.

love your friends as much as you can, and show them how much you appreciate them.

whisper to yourself before bed, and talk to yourself as often as you can.

write and write.

document what you've done, because if you can't share it, it's as if it had never existed.

the more people you can work with, the better it gets.

don't forget you need a little loving too.

you can only do as much as you can do, but you can do a whole lot.

love yourself and know what you love.
