    For what it’s worth, near the end my grandma talked a lot about how she was so sad that young people didn’t go to dances anymore.

    There were a few other things she focused on as well that largely line up with the guide, but she really kept coming back to how sad she was that dances fell out of favour because they were so fun and magical.

    So I showed her a bunch of rave and festival memories that the rest of my family haven’t seen, to make sure that she knew that we were in fact, still out there dancing.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this guide.

    When I was in college, I reached a point where I was wishing I was dead. I couldn’t even remember what it felt like to be happy. What was the point of living? What was I suffering for? But I remembered there are things I really want to do in life. So what was keeping me from doing them?

    I decided, if I’m going to die, why don’t I just go ahead and do the things I truly want to do in life.

    Even if I fail and want to die again, I can wait until after trying all the things I want to do in life first.

    Today, I’m feeling great. Ever since that time, I’ve gotten to do more and more of the things I wanted, accomplished goals that would’ve felt impossible for me back then. Because I figured out what was important to me and decided to keep moving forward.

    So don’t stop! Don’t be afraid to fail horribly. Just keep moving. Life is too short to always be worrying about all that stuff all the time. Figure out what you want to do and do it!

    If you live your life waiting for confirmation from others you always be disappointed. However, if you live to annoy others…
