Social influence doesn’t dictate what kind of person you should be or the life you should live. Break the rules sometimes, because it’s fun. Put the most energy into yourself, your goals, and your happiness. Trying to change people is a waste of time, don't do it. People are awesome, take the time to hear as many of their stories as you can. Do weird, unpredictable things, it’ll be the stories you talk about most in your life. Take yourself out on dates. Read books. Free yourself from emotional connections to stuff. Live honestly and openly. You only live once ... this is it ... right now ... so like live it. Cheers.
