On the Bright Side

Things I've Learned That Will Still Matter in Ten Years
- It's okay to enjoy spending time alone.
- Try your best to assume the good intentions in people instead of assuming the bad intentions. It's better for your anxiety.
- Be straightforward and tell people what you want and what you don't want. Saves time and energy.
