"Life: A How-To Guide"
Dance to the Hoedown Throwdown like you actually know how it goes.
Boom and clap and move side to side. Pop it, rock it, polka dot it.
Sing karaoke somewhere, anywhere. Belt it out like no one is listening.
Practice in the shower, if you must.
Spend a day or two, or three, with your best friends.
Sleep in tents, forget about cell phones, computers, and Ipods.
Watch the sunset, stay up all night, have a campfire, watch the sunrise.
If it rains - dance in it. Forget about how you look, just smile.
Offer someone new, words of wisdom, freshly baked cookies,
hugs, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a back rub, or a smile.
Fall head-over-heels in love with a boy who protects you,
knows how to make you laugh, and is not afrad of your father.
Learn to love Mondays. (And Tuesdays. And Wednesdays.)
Eat a pint of ice cream while crying and watching "The Notebook."
Spend a day eating what you want, free of pressure to be more like them.
Try not to look at your reflection for a day. Focus on your feelings, not looks.
Do things because you want to, not because you "should."
Learn a foreign language. Find the cure for sadness and suffering.
Watch every Disney movie. Live a fairytale. Be in two places at once.
Start a trend. Travel the world. Go to church. Learn to believe in yourself.
Set out on a spontaneous road trip to nowhere, discover yourself.
