ASSALAMUALAIKUM.....
JUST SHARE WITH OTHERS
1. Call that person you’ve been
thinking about for longer than you can remember, but whose rejection you have always
feared. Just pick up the phone, hold your breath, and accept the fact that
knowing how they feel is better than living in limbo.
2. Go on a camping trip with a solid
group of your friends, a cooler of drinks, and enough grillable meats to last
you for at least twice as long as you actually need. Get really scared when you
think you hear a bear, and then realize it’s just your friend coming back from
peeing.
3. Learn how to make your favorite
restaurant dishes, even if they don’t taste as good as the original. Learn what
actually goes into the food you love so much.
4. Apply to a job that you really
want, but which you know you have next to zero chance of actually landing.
You’ll risk nothing, and may actually be pleasantly surprised by getting the
job.
5. Go an entire Saturday without a
smartphone, and intentionally get lost in your own city — ask for directions
from strangers and read street maps if you need to find your way back
somewhere.
6. Approach someone at a bar who
seems cute and cool, and without even thinking about it, just start up a
conversation with them. Remind yourself that you don’t even know this person,
and even if they don’t like you back, it will have no bearing on your life.
7. Tell a close friend that you love
them, and don’t worry about it feeling weird. If they’re a good friend, they
will love hearing how much you care.
8. Paint your room a really odd
color, one that you’ve always wanted to live in but looked at as too “childish”
or “bold” for an adult’s apartment.
9. Paint over it right away if you
don’t like it, but give it at least a week to test it out.
10. Force yourself, for an entire
month, to wear the kinds of clothes that actually make you feel good about
yourself, even if they aren’t what is currently considered “stylish.” Just
focus on looking like the “you” that exists in your head, and not caring about
what other people think.
11. Get a job that you can quit with
no remorse, and leave it as soon as you save enough money to go somewhere far
away.
12. Go to a country where you know
nobody, and take a book of translations that never leaves your right hand.
Fumble through conversations and force yourself to ask questions in stores or
restaurants, even if you think you’ll look silly.
13. Eat big plates of delicious
food, and don’t think for a second about the caloric content.
14. Throw a surprise birthday party
for a friend who has been going through a bad time, and who hasn’t had time to
plan their own birthday party. Even if it’s just a few friends getting together
for dinner, let them know that people care about them.
15. Bring breakfast for everyone in
your office and don’t expect them to do anything in return (even though, if
it’s a decent office, they definitely will).
16. Practice having a conversation
with someone where you focus entirely on listening, and don’t think at all
about what you’re going to say next so you can concentrate on everything
they’re saying as they say it.
17. Plan a weekend trip to the beach
with friends, pack your car with blankets and coolers and swimsuits, and rent a
shitty little place right on the boardwalk. Spend the whole time eating fries
with malt vinegar and Old Bay, riding old roller coasters, and getting sand in
your hair.
18. Make a four-course meal for
someone you love, and set up the table all fancy and nice.
19. Spend time with someone much
older than you — like your grandparents’ age — and just listen to what they
have to say about life. Play board games or cards with them, and think about
what you can learn from them.
20. Apologize to someone you
slighted, and mean it.
21. Organize a night out with your
coworkers so that everyone can get to know each other and have fun in a more
cool setting, and be the person who takes the initiative to reserve rooms and
coordinate schedules. Make things happen.
22. Take a dance class, and stick
with it.
23. Move to a city you want to live
in, even if it means having to work odd jobs and long hours to pay for
everything. Make the choice to be in the places where you want to be, and live
your life in the right surroundings.
24. Get a bike, and ride it as much
as you can. Memorize public transportation. Learn how to get yourself around
without a car, and rid yourself of all of the expenses it comes with.
25. Pack up a bunch of lunches and
toiletries and give them out to the homeless people you pass every day. Decide
that you can do something about the sadness you see on your walk to work, and
actually follow through with making a difference. Be generous with your time,
your money, and your compassion, and realize how little it takes to be that
person if you really want to
