To my loves

I hope you keep your ideals

Fluid enough to allow growth and change

Yet firm enough to follow

And that you never sell out

No matter the price

I hope you strive to understand people

More than correct them

Strive for compassion

More than to be right 

I hope you don't let false friends

Lead you down bad roads

And that if you do get down one

No matter how you've gotten there

That you believe in your heart 

That you can find your way back to your true nature

You're true self

A person full of love

I hope when you do something bad

You learn to forgive yourself

And make amends/recompense as best you can

I hope when you look in the mirror

You always love the person you see

Faults and all

That while you hold unending love and compassion for that person staring back at you

That you still strive to be your best

To do your best

To love your best

To be a good citizen of the world

A good caretaker of the earth

And of your fellow man/woman

No matter what walk of life they hail from

I hope that you enjoy all their is in life to enjoy

Just not at any harsh cost

I hope you squeeze all the happiness you can out of life

While if not leaving the world a better place for having been here

At least leaving it no worse

I hope you get to do all you really want to do

Well.

Almost all

Some stuff

Like for example: fame/celebrity status', gang bangs, dangerous drugs abuse, alcoholism, violence/crime is better left alone and never treaded upon. Some roads once you go down there is no climbing back from. Some leave scars for life. Just trust me on that one. 

And please promise me you will never

Ever ever

Lie

No matter the reason

No matter the severity

Maybe a small omission or distraction from the truth never really hurt too many. But I do stress a very, very SMALL one and even then only if absolutely need be. 

If you can follow only one thing, please let it be this. Never tell a lie, not to others and especially not to yourself. 

And know. I love you through and through for exactly who you are.  If I ever made you feel otherwise please try to forgive me my erroneous ways.
