Well, my last journal was 'supposed' to be fishing for questions I could answer to all you young people out there, however, you all wished me an early Happy Birthday instead, to which, I say, thank you. ^^

Sadly, this also meant I really don't have anything really post about as far as advice that I've gotten from living on this earth for those 40 years, so I'll just say a couple things.

Keep any friends you have. You need every single one.
Always keep in touch with friends. You never know when saying hi and chatting can instantly improve someone's day.
Try not to deny stuff when you're younger. The older you get, the more complacent you become and won't try newer things.
Saving in important, but treat yourself every now and again.
Always be objective. Never just stick to one viewpoint or else you will become ignorant of how others think and feel about certain topics.

Anyway, don't really have any super sage advice for you all other than continue to work on being happy. Lord knows it's still a struggle for me.
