• Don't google your name. Ever.
  Don't “search” for yourself
  on anything that glows in the dark.
  Don't let your beauty
  be something anyone can turn off.
  Don't edit your ugly out of your bio.
  Let your light come from the fire.
  Let your pain be the spark,
  but not the timber.
  Remember, you didn't come here
  to write your heart out.
  You came to write it in.
