Words of Wisdom (please share)

Hey all. I'm working on a new project and I would love to include the input from my audience. I'm calling out to each and every one of you. Here's what I need..

One nugget (or more if you like) of golden advice or wisdom.. I'm asking for you to sow any quotes, short stories, parables, or possibly something passed down through your family line that stuck with you through the years. These seeds I'm asking of you are to be sown on fertile soil so I'm also asking that you share this wisdom as if you were speaking to someone younger, someone you wanna help navigate through today's society, someone you love and/or wanna see do well. There are no right or wrong responses and every piece of wisdom given towards this is invaluable! Please keep in mind that this gift will cost you nothing to give and I truly believe that because it's intended to bless someone that in return you all will be blessed.

Thanks in advance to those that find it in them to share.

Look Up

I want that someone
who will look at me more than
he does his cell phone.

Social Media

You're afraid to be forgotten.
Worried that if you don't log in,
or update your status
that no one will remember you.
Avoiding the day
that your absence will go unnoticed.
It feels too much like death.
They call this an addiction,
you call it a habit.
Signing on
to feel connected to a disconnected world.
Truth is
you're already where you feared to be--
amongst the land of the walking dead,
because you did more to be remembered
than you do to be unforgettable.
