To love.

To be loved.

To never forget your own significance.

To never get used to unspeakable violence

and the vulgar disparity of life around you.

To seek joy in the saddest places.

To pursue beauty in its lair.

To never simplify what's complicated

or complicate what's simple.

To respect strength, not power.

To give without wanting to take.

To put others before oneself.

To appreciate the worst.

To have good intentions and nothing else.

To not be bitter.

Above all, to watch.

To try and understand.

To never look away.

And never, never, to forget.
