4. Wait for _______.

5. Get ______ when that person doesn’t fix your life problems. 

6. Become obsessed with _______.

7. Validate all of your _______ on social media.

8. _______ yourself. 

9. Believe that change is _______. 

Spoiler: he fills in the blanks. Just the way you’re thinking, and maybe darker. 

I’ll be keeping this link and list handy. Just in case I need a reminder of what I’m supposed to (not be) doing, or as a case-review checklist before releasing more people into the void.
