Always listen

My attempt to try and reproduce Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl" (1983)

Yes, that dress does make you look fat; the only person you have to impress is yourself; always have fun, even if it means getting in trouble; don't get into too much trouble; don't look at a large person for too long; don't stare at all; if the choice is your life or another's, choose both; go up to the biggest person in New York City and yell "TAG!! YOUR IT"; don't yell fire in a movie theatre; when someone is nice, be nice back; if someone is not nice, still be nice; when faced with a huge challenge, find the help of others; if no one is left to help you, find the willpower to be better; if you want something that you don't need, you are most likely going to get it; if you need something that you want, you most likely will not get it; random is the best perfection; beauty has flaws; flaws only show the beauty; always try your best; love all, hate none; try to keep everyone and everything you know alive; always find the upper edge, unless it means hurting someone; if you kill someone, you will die on the inside; don't stare at the sun; stare at the moon; save all, waste none; when faced with money or friendship, pick friendship... or money, it's your call; go everywhere you can; don't yell bomb anywhere, unless there is a bomb; don't argue with the police, they win every time; even if you are wrong, continue arguing, you get your point across well; you are always telling the truth if you believe you are; you are being truthful, right?

Make it happen and let it happen, if the future is in the past, because every story has its own ending and beginnning and succession of endings and beginnings. If winning is not so important, why is score kept. Because if you judge a book by its cover, or fight one another, you will never have dreams. You will never know until you lose it, like water in a well. We have all been doomed. I must now follow.
