I welcome you to the party and offer you this small piece of advice: while you’re here, never drink from the punch bowl.

The moment you’re born, the music starts playing, welcoming you in the world with tears, laughter, and all the moments in between — the party has begun.

Some parties might have a cover charge, some might not.

Some might have dress codes, some wave you in with, “come as you are.”

The dress code might vary, but remember, everybody wears their personal brand of insecurities — even you.

Regardless of the dress code or whatever insecurities you wear, never let them influence you into taking a sip.

You might be the early bird, where it’s just you and the DJ, or stroll in fashionably late to the strobe lights.

Maybe you’re the wallflower, or perhaps you’re the spark that sets the party ablaze — the life of the party — nonetheless, what really matters is that you showed up. And never forget, you bring the most priceless gift — yourself.

But no matter what, while at the party, never drink from the punch bowl.
