Mnemonics and aspirations

Try to take things in stride.
You are not second-rate.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Nothing changes if you run and hide.
The road is neither narrow nor straight.
Try to take things in stride.

Find friends in whom you can confide.
She (or he) is worth the wait.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Everyone you love will someday have died.
Love them now before it’s too late.
Try to take things in stride.

Lose your face; not your pride.
Do not anger. DO. NOT. HATE.
Don’t forget who you are inside.

Learn to live with what you decide.
You’re the author of your own fate.
Try to take things in stride.
Don’t forget who you are inside.
