Be yourself. In all your authentic awkwardness. Don't try to fit in with the crowd. Follow your passion without fear of judgment. Ok, you can have some fear of judgment, but don't let that stop you from doing it anyway. Be friendly, but keep your circle of friends small and intimate. Think before you speak. Or write. Make what you share meaningful. And your actions and comments genuine. Be humble. Do things that feed your soul. Remember numbers and statistics are bullshit. Take time to disconnect and be alone with your thoughts. You'll be unpopular, but you'll be happier.
