Bob, I've written a list of things I think are important to keep in mind as you go forward.

Spend less than you earn.

Kindness.

Eat lots of plants. A burrito is not really a plant.

Save 20% of what you earn in an index fund or ETF, and keep an emergency fund equal to six months income in a high interest savings account and also max out your retirement accounts every year.

When in doubt, lead with love.

Fight fair.

Read more books.

Always take a breath and consider the consequences.

Hold on to a positive outlook, hold it close.

Know how to write a check.

Learn something new - often.

Vote.

Stay away from debt. Own it - don't owe it. 

Your gift is what comes easy to you that is hard for most.

Follow your creative heart. Your art is important. 

Complain less, be grateful for more.

Keep a list of your goals. Update it regularly.

Don't take directions from the lost. Seek out mentors.

Take time away from your phone. 

Celebrate everything, even and especially the small things.

Comparisons are the real devil's workshop.

Don't waste time longing for the future - enjoy the life you have right now. Like, this very moment.

Less stuff = more freedom. In your twenties, if you can fit all of your belongings in a compact car, that's a plus.

Failure is just your first attempt in learning. Mistakes are necessary. 

Have all the feelings. The heart grows in all directions.

Live with integrity.

Be gentle.

Help others.

Stand up for those who need it. You'll know.

Use a budget - written down. Don't ballpark it. 

Sensitivity is a strength. 

Accepting help? Also a strength.

Believe in yourself. (Know that we believe in yourself.)

Take care of your body physically and emotionally and spiritually. 

Feelings are not facts. 

Don't worry about things out of your control.

Go for a walk.

I'm grateful to you for teaching me about deep joy, unconditional love, the infield fly rule, and Emperor Palpatine the phantom menace ruler of the galaxy who manipulated the system of the Star Wars Galactic Republic,.

We are so proud of you and we will always welcome you home.
