Always Keep Your Cool

When the road seems endless and the streetlights are dim, always keep your cool.

Always Keep Your Cool
Hanenlove

In times of trouble

In moments of stress

Always keep your cool


When the road seems endless

And the streetlights are dim

Always keep your cool


Whether you’re feeling alone

or overwhelmed by a crowd

Always keep your cool


When adversaries challenge

And others back down

Always keep your cool


Stressors attack

Anxiety brings worry

Always keep your cool


In the sun with no sunblock

Or coatless in a flurry

Always keep your cool


For when you lose it

You can lose your unique point of view

You can lose the ability

To think each situation through


Rational cooler heads

Function better than those overheated

For how can you read whats in front of you

If your mind is too angry to read it


Do not confuse passion

With anger and stress

Do not be afraid

Don’t hold back; express!


There are too many people in this world

Suffering through their daily existence

But we need not succumb to the pressures of stress

So long as we always keep our cool

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
