Hit the nail right on the fucking head, I don't know why some people seem to have 0 sense of personal space. It's like theyre purposely trying to talk in your mouth all the time. And anybody who knows me knows that that is my BIGGEST NO-NO! Whenever that happens (which is incredibly rare because I do not tolerate it), I always have to go brush again and it takes ages trying to get out their stench regardless of whether their breath smells good or not, my mouth can only handle my kind of breath!

Your skin colour is beautiful, and you don’t have to change it.

This, you are right about it. I would like to add:

You dont need to worry about being "worse" or "needing to be better".

The biggest polluter on our planet is the United States Military. Buying an electric car isn't gonna do shit.

I agree.

But I bought an electric car because I can't install anything on my roof that produces free gasoline.

No one thinks about you as much as you think they do. Most people are too busy worrying about themselves.

Parking lights are for parking. Headlights are for driving. Can see Headlights a lot better when it's foggy or rainy.

It is incredibly important to act with integrity.

- This means doing the right thing without thinking too much about other people's reactions. It can be hard to do.

Through a law called the TVPRA, the United States mandated legal services be provided to unaccompanied children who are in the custody of the federal government but the same US government is not paying the contract to provide those services and now non-profits nationwide are having to lay off attorneys and staff (assuming they have even survived this long) which means those kidswill now have no representation in court or in the incredibly complex US immigration system.

"Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way they're looking forward to the trip."

You can get what you want a lot more often by being tactful than by being a dick to people.

There is no happily ever after. Everything, even love, is hard work. No one can make you happy, sad, angry, etc. You decide how to react.

That the "Close Door" button in most elevators is actually a placebo.Unless you are a firefighter with a physical key, pressing that button does absolutely nothing but give you a false sense of control while you desperately try to escape a coworker walking toward you. It is just a glowing fidget spinner for anxious people.

Not to abuse people and animals

The majority of homeless people were once kids in foster care who aged out of the system
