2) Do not depend on how other people act to decide how you want to act

3) Do not let the worry of judgment suffocate your silliness

5) Be happy – make yourself be happy. Look for the best and make it shine

6) Love him. Remind yourself why you love him. Encourage the things that make you love him

7) Be creative. Collage, draw, embrace the wedding as an outlet (and do others just for fun)

8) Be healthy. Learn to cook new things, learn new exercises, embrace health

9) Don’t stop learning. Sign up for a class, join a new club, don’t hold back
