look before crossing the avenues.
stop fantasizing about jumping off that bridge.
don't pray to a god that does not know your name.
don't drink excessively before a workday.
stop pretending like you're not looking at them.
don't fake interest in music you don't like or in intellectual geniuses you hate.
wash the oranges you bought before eating them.
stop overthinking what you are going to say like you are walking amongst eggshells.
don't soften your words for them.
fight your urge to destroy everything.
don't turn yourself into a gun.
write when you're sad.
don't tell the whole truth in your poetry.
don't tell people you are in love with them when you're drunk.
