Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.

1992

Enjoy your body.

Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

1997

Be nice to your siblings

They're your best link to your past
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

1990

You are not as fat as you imagine.

you'll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way you can't grasp now
how much possibility lay before you and

how fabulous you really looked.

Accept certain inalienable truths:

Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young,
prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble
and children respected their elders.
