Pep Talk by Anggo Genorga

breathe hard, breathe in, breathe out,

otherwise, expect rain.

read

write

utter hello

scream goodbye

paint a smile

cry like a river

drink water

get drunk

eating is a motherfucker but eat anyway.

remember that death is a knock on the door

that always gets answered. heaven is a place on earth.

hell is around the corner. wisdom is rarely an early bird.

regret is always after the deed

&

hey,

life sure gets rough but who told you not to sleep?
