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?
