manifesto addendum

I will not complain, because it's childish and passive.
I will accept and change because I can do better.

I will not ignore people, because it's hurtful and ignorant.
I will try to understand what upsets me and see if I can better understand and like it.

I will not hate, because it's weak and selfish to hate.
I will love because deep, meaningful love is rare.

I will not hide from my emotions for that is the weakest thing to do.
I will embrace and live through every feeling I have, for I will learn from it.

I will not be too selfish, because it is immature.
I will give time and love willingly to everyone.

I will not be too selfless, because it is painful.
I will draw back as I see fit to preserve my own well-being.

I will not be sad or upset for too long (because I will undoubtedly become saddened or upset), because it's easy to be sad and mope.
I will grasp my chances at happiness because happiness is rare and comes from within.



And when I break one of these, I will forgive myself because I am still only human and liable to mistakes. I will allow myself to forgive myself and get up and move forward.
