Advice from XKCD

Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they’re doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out...You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them. Look for interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.

For Spring, Beltaine, and a New Chapter in Life, I resolve to:

smile at strangers. stop making myself schedules that i know i won’t follow. read for pleasure. relax. not do anything i don’t feel like doing (including work). be comfortable spending time alone. love my body and use it every way i can. exercise at least once a day. go dancing at least once a fortnight. love everyone. buy a bike and use it. be social. play in the rain at every given opportunity. nap in the sun. speak french every day. lose track of time. begin making art again. enjoy nature. travel spontaneously. answer only to myself. hitch-hike. flirt. learn to love myself again.

Springtime

"USE SPRING AS YOUR ALIBI. Spring is for breaking. Pack nothing. Leave without a note. Follow your internal compass. Wear what you slept in, sleep in what you're wearing. Use SPF. Listen to the ocean, but don't take its advice word for word. Insist on karaoke. Display skin. Attract a following. Steal a heart. Lose track of time. Live your life."

Or as a friend modified it:
"A heart is for breaking. Pack the ocean. Follow a following. Wear nothing, sleep in karaoke. Use what you slept in. Listen to SPF, but don't take Baz Luhrman's advice word for word. Insist on what you're wearing. Display your internal compass. Attract your life. Steal skin. Lose spring. Live track of time."

(Ok, so that one was less inspiring, but still hilarious.)
