Stop comparing yourself to your older brother and stop trying to be like him. Embrace your own personality and learn to make your own decisions.

 Don't fight with the guy you loved just to see how much you can get away with. You will never find anyone better.

 You're not the crazy one. Trust your instincts and know when something's not right.

 Don't ask him to come and see you. He's just going to leave and take your heart with him.

 Do not cut your hair into a mullet, it may look cool at the time, but it grows back awkwardly and makes your head look like a mushroom.

 What you can't see in yourself, others can. Trust them. You are loved!

 Keep those rubber boots on as long as you can, kiddo.

 Tell them you love them. You'll wish you had said it more, later.
