If I'm gone (for Tamra's first child)

If I never meet you here are some things you’ll need for life:

Two days a week to yourself
A hobby no one you know cares about
A hobby someone you love respects
Someone you love who respects one of the hobbies you already have that no one you knew cared about

A friend for good days when you want them bad
A friend for bad days when you want them bad
A friend who's always having a good day so you can complain about how awesome their life feels in comparison to you’re own but more importantly so you can feel vindicated when you realize they’re supposedly positive demeanor is just a front for some deep rooted dissatisfaction.

A deep comprehension of the nature of existence and the inherent conflict between the subjective reality of your consciousness and the objective reality that controls every aspect of your life
A deeper understanding of the nature of existence when you, ten years later, you realize that you’re initial comprehension was laughable at best
A bullshit radar with minimum 85% accuracy, I hope they have a robot to do that for you but if not they’ll certainly have an app for it.

Dreams, and when those fail better dreams, and when those fail better dreams still

Birth control, condoms, or the pill, or IUD’s, or the alien birth control robot worm monsters we’ll all have implanted or whatever is available when you read this and if someone tells you to not to but you’re old enough to be curious, just google it.
Skepticism, of everything, especially religion or anything that is self validated by human beings as opposed to science or logic (though skepticism is very important that actually doing science and logic so keep that in mind).

Hugs, every day.

A fight song, a get pumped up song, a get stoked song, a get psyched out song, a *insert slang word for enthusiastic* song.

Ownership of your self and an unshakable conviction that no one controls your identity but you. Not your mother, not your father, not your uncles, or your grandparents, or your aunts, or the world, or anyone else.

Empathy for anyone and everyone and everything, but especially for what you do not understand. Generally this means you’ll have to go out of your way to understand those things which you currently don’t.

Un comprensión de mas que dos idiomas y sí yo se que by the time you read this learning languages may be obsolete but knowing someones language in the same way that they do will always be helpful.

A good place to sit outdoors
A good place to sit indoors
A good place to sit and contemplate the world
A good place to sit and contemplate a good place to sit
A good place to sit and contemplate a good place to sit and contemplate

A  song for breakups
Something to read on beaches

And most importantly of all, something to share with everyone you meet. Something beautiful and amazing and joyful.
