List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

1. Epilepsy will never be cured. Especially mine, not in my lifetime, not this intractable, unknown caused, epileptic brain.
2. All living things are mortal- life is too short, live and enjoy it while you can. Go explore, learn, and experience while you still have the capacity to.
3. The Second Law of Thermodynamics – The Second Law is often cited as the reason for the “arrow of time.” The universe is observed to be evolving from a state of lower entropy (the Big Bang) to a state of higher entropy, giving time a direction. In simpler terms, heat flows from hotter to colder environments. This is how I keep myself warm, by sucking the warmth out of others.
4. Change is constant – you are a speck on top of a world rotating around the sun. This sun is rotating around a universe, rotating around a galaxy rotating around a solar system rotating several galaxies. All plunging through space together because… we exploded together. That is wild to think about. So technically on a base level, you are truly forever in motion. So if someone tells you to “get off the couch and get moving” you can tell them you have! But I wouldn’t recommend the response unless you want to keep your job, relationship, or allowance.
5. You are reading this sentence. This is a direct, undeniable experience you are having right now. At some point, you had past experiences that led you here. And you will make choices from this moment that will influence your path forward. Your life is partially a creation of your choices.

6. Every person is unique. Even those who share the same DNA. Their perspective and their communication is entirely their own and should be respected within reason.
7. To learn, you must admit you do not know. This is extremely difficult, especially as you become more well versed in a subject and your ego gets in the way.
8. The energy spent on the focus of what others may think is useless. It is very likely that they are spending a lot less time thinking about you than what you are assuming they are. Dress, put on makeup, dance for you, no one else.
9. You can only control your own emotions, actions, and decisions.
10. Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs. – TST
11. “The Greatest Thing, You’ll Ever Learn, Is Just to Love, And Be Loved, In Return.” – Nature Boy by Nat King Cole
