The Jaywalker’s Manifesto

​Give yourself permission to be you. No one else can.

Life does not come with instructions. No one can tell you what is right for you, where your path will lead, how to find your way home.
 
The world of humans is drawn in straight lines, because other people are just trying to make sense of it. Most of the time you don’t have to color within those lines. Or walk within them.

But you can jaywalk over to where you want to be. Even if no one has drawn an outline for it yet.
 
Your path may end up being pretty crooked. And you’ll be tempted from time to time to judge yourself harshly, because your path isn’t neat and doesn’t look like other people’s. But don’t.

You have something they don’t: authenticity, agency, freedom.
 
The main thing is for you to be brave enough to live your own life. Even if you have to break a few arbitrary rules to do it.
