Do whatever it takes to convey your essential self.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

Don't expect the future to look like the past. Clear away expectations, and let yourself picture a wild, grand new world.
