It will be the same with you at my age. Enjoy life and make mistakes. This is the meaning of existence.
Do not argue that you can be perfect – it is unattainable.
Strengthen your spirit, your qualities, so that when a test happens, you find the strength to accept it like a real man.
Do not let yourself be deceived by pathos truths and ringing phrases.
Travel countries, explore the world, meet people, do something that interests you, fall in love, do stupid things, but do it with passion.
The most important thing is to live your life with taste.
There is probably more than one life waiting for all of us. But in order to be rewarded with them, you need to spend this life to the fullest. Get everything you can out of life.
Fear colorless fate.
