Stand tall in a graveyard of dead wedding flowers and refuse to turn into a ghost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel your heart: a story in a book being pulped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hook yourself up to an IV drip of chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allow yourself to be a still life in an avalanche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not drown into silence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Put single tulips in vases around the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tend to them by filling and emptying them of water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roam around your apartment in lingerie all day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When your heartbeat becomes the pulse of cutting bangs, put down the scissors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t swallow mood rings trying to feel something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When in doubt, turn to the Bible of red lipstick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get off your phone when\u00a0you\u2019re on Tinder looking for cheap Walmart cakes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During moments of memories that keep you up at night,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

light the path home for retromance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unclench your fists in a red room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Go into Tiffany\u2019s looking for a wedding ring,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and realize you are the chandelier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
