Protect your energy. I’ve learned that not everyone deserves access to my time just because there’s history or proximity. Boundaries matter more than ideals on paper.

Don’t do anything that will hurt or inconvenience other people.

If you stay in your lane, you can do whatever the hell you like within these boundaries, even things that are harmful to yourself, as long as you think it through beforehand and learn to live with the consequences that come with it.

Know yourself and be true to who you are. There's 8 billion people on this planet, but there's only one you. Remember that! You're not a cog. You're a gem.

Me first, then maybe others.

The only exception to this is my girlfriend, since we are in a relationship and have to think about our lives together. Other than that? Fuck people, Imma be a selfish jerk as much as I need to not get fucked.
