20 Things I Should Have Known at 20.
1. The world is trying to keep you stupid. From bank fees to interest rates to miracle diets, people who are not educated are easier to get money from and easier to lead. Educate yourself as much as possible for wealth, independence, and happiness.

The Water Is Black: My Dear Wormwood, →
thewaterisblack:
I received your letter this morning and I must say I am very, very disappointed. You brag and gloat that you got the face of the world’s largest youth movement to go mad.
