| Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
|
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 99, wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
I will dispense this advice, now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth
Oh never mind
You will never understand the power and the beauty of your youth until theyve faded
But trust me
In twenty years you will look back at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you cant grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine
Dont worry about the future or worry that know that worrying is as affective
As trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that scares you
Sing
Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts
Dont put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Dont waste your time on jealously
Sometimes youre ahead, sometimes youre behind
The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters
Throw away your old bank statements
Stretch
Dont feel guilty if you dont know what to do with your life
The most interesting people I know didnt know at 22
What they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still dont
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to knees, youll miss them when theyre gone
Maybe youll marry, maybe you wont
Maybe youll have children, maybe you wont
Maybe youll divorce at 40
Maybe youll dance the "Funky Chicken" on your 75th
wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, dont congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody elses
Enjoy your body
Use it every way you can, dont be afraid of it or what other people think of it
Its the greatest instrument youll ever own
Dance
Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you dont follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Brother and sister together will make it through
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know youve been hurting, but Ive been waiting to be there for you
And Ill be there just helping you out, whenever I ca-a-an
Get to know your parents
You never know when theyll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings
They are your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get
The more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft
Travel
Accept certain alible truths
Prices will rise
Politicians will philander
You too will get old
And when you do
Youll fanaticise that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Dont expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund
Maybe youll have a wealthy spouse
But youll never know when either one will run out
Dont mess too much with your hair
Or by the time youre forty, it will look eighty-five
Be careful whose advice you buy
But be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia
Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal
Wiping it off
Painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than its worth
But trust me on the sunscreen
Brother and sister together will make it through
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know youve been hurting, but Ive been waiting to be there for you
And Ill be there just helping you out, whenever I ca-a-an
Everybodys free, oh yeah, everybodys free, oh yeah, ohoh, to feel good |
