OUGD602: My Manifesto

I did initially write one of these at the beginning of the year, I kept coming back to it, adding to it and changing things so much that it changed completely. I decided to write it again here, at the end of the year, with a reflection on everything I've learnt and just how much I've changed. So here's my thirteen point manifesto/mantra and everything I currently believe in. I'm sure it'll change again by this time next year, that's a good thing though.

Make things you love. 

Don't be afraid to compromise. 

Don't be afraid to speak your mind and stand up for yourself. 

Be prepared for plans to fall apart. 

Make sure you allow twice as long for any creative process than you think you'll need. 

Do something that you care about. 

Don't try to change your life and then fit yourself into it, just grow as you and your life will fit around you. 

Be opinionated. 

Be ballsy. 

Take a night if something isn't working, see it with new eyes. 

Don't be jealous, be inspired. 

Don't be afraid to cry. 

Don't be afraid to laugh either.
