    My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.

    I’ve learned that people
    will forget what you said,
    people will forget what you did,
    but people will never forget
    how you made them feel.

    You’re itching to be on your own.
    You don’t want anybody telling you what time
    you have to be in at night or how to raise your baby.
    You’re going to leave your mother’s
    big comfortable house and she won’t stop you,
    because she knows you too well.
    But listen to what she says:
    When you walk out of my door,
    don’t let anybody raise you — you’ve been raised.
    You know right from wrong.
    In every relationship you make,
    you’ll have to show readiness
    to adjust and make adaptations.
    Remember, you can always come home.
    You will go home again when the world
    knocks you down — or when you fall down
    in full view of the world.
    But only for two or three weeks at a time.
    Your mother will pamper you and
    feed you your favorite meal of red beans and rice.
    You’ll make a practice of going home
    so she can liberate you again — one of the greatest gifts,
    along with nurturing your courage,
    that she will give you.
    Be courageous, but not foolhardy.
    Walk proud as you are.
    — maya Angelou, Letter to my Younger Self

    Please leave format credit to 1986!
    You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it’s all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.

    “I've learned that no matter what happens,
    or how bad it seems today,
    life does go on,
    and it will be better tomorrow.
    I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person
    by the way they handle these three things:
    a rainy day,
    lost luggage,
    and tangled Christmas tree lights.
    I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
    you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
    I've learned that making a "living"
    is not the same thing as making a "life."
    I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
    I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands;
    you need to be able to throw something back.
    I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart,
    I usually make the right decision.
    I've learned that even when I have pains,
    I don't have to be one.
    I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
    People love a warm hug,
    or just a friendly pat on the back.
    I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
    I've learned that people will forget what you said,
    people will forget what you did,
    but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

    To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.
    — Maya Angelou
