ALWAYS TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

"IT WAS ON OF THE RITUALS, THE EVENING TELLING OF FEELINGS"

YOU ARE JUDGED IF YOU ARE DIFFERENT.

"IT WAS NOT A RULE, BUT IT WAS CONSIDERED RUDE TO CALL ATTENTION TO THINGS THAT WERE UNSETTLING OR DIFFERENT"

ALWAYS FEEL PROUD OF YOUR TALENTS.

"JONAS HAS NOT BEEN ASSIGNED. HE HAS BEEN SELECTED."

COLOR CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

"THE RED WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!"
