28. The manifesto.

Floss more. She who flosses prevents gum disease (is this weird this was my first thought? No, eroding gums are gross).

Experiment with cooking. Soy sauce shouldn’t dominate my meals, I’ve probably tapped into my Asian-ness enough.

Grasp grammar. Honestly, it’s about time.

Glasses. Perhaps accurate vision will be deemed more important this year.

Try harder. If everything were easy you probably wouldn’t be writing a manifesto, right?

Don’t ever be lazy. You’re not at the moment, but it’s just a warning to the 28 year old you who may be feeling a little weary and less sprightly.

Be less dismissive of people. Maybe there’s something more to the people you don’t like. While they’re probably still dicks, at least try one more time?

Go out for breakfast more because you love it. You can order muesli every time if that’s what you wish – don’t listen to other people’s scorn.

Farewell thee well 27th year.
