Embrace your inner weirdness.
Above all, laughter is the best medicine.
The less you give a fuck, the happier you’ll be.
You are who you are. Be proud of it.
How to trade insults with the best of them…
…And basically, kick ass.
The beauty in imperfections.
Finish what you start. Always.
How to politely reject that one creepy guy.
That the same advice for surviving a stampede can be applied to dealing with your past: Never look back.
Don’t underestimate the “cute” ones.
And never be afraid to stand up for what’s right.
Nobody is too good to get down and dirty.
And don’t forget to dance like no one is watching.
