You Should Care .

"You should care about yourself. You should have self-respect, self-worth, and every other thing that starts with “self” besides self-loathing. You should care about yourself enough to not love someone who will never love you back. I’m going to get real high school on you right now and quote something from The Perks of Being A Wallflower: “We accept the love we think we deserve.” And it’s true. People who hate themselves are attracted to people with loads of hate in their heart. It’s a sad vicious cycle. 

You should care about having a good time—whatever your definition of that may be. If you want to get drunk and dance in the street, do it. Just look both ways.

You should care about family whether it be your blood or friends. Life can be a hard bummer, and no man is an island. If you can find a group of people who love you unconditionally, you’ve hit the jackpot.

If you’re young, you should care about being young. You should care about every crop top moment, every silly mistake, every time you get carded. You should care because one day you’ll never be carded, you’ll never wear a crop top, and mistakes will stick like glue instead of being funny learning experiences.

You should care about people because they’re fascinating, because they are you. You should pay attention to what is going on around you and wonder why things are the way they are. "
