If I were my own best friend I would tell myself to…
remember a favorite quote:
“Be kind. For everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”
-Plato
***I always try to remember this when someone cuts me off in traffic, has unkind words to say, or seems to be really angry or unpleasant. I have no idea what is happening in their world and prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. We all have battles; the least we can do is be kind.
If I were my own best friend... 
just a good reminder. this one will stick with me. the image alone is so beautiful and memorable! you are wise beyond your years, my friend.
This quote sticks with me too… although I wish it was my FIRST thought when someone cuts me off in traffic, instead of the third or fourth (but at least it’s in there, right?).
