Incase you're looking for a birthday gift recommendation from me, the only poetry I'm willing to suggest is by Ms. Cope. 

5) Cry. Weep. Every time you feel like. Don't let anyone see you do that, ofcourse. 

6) Chop vegetables and wash the dishes. It's therapeutic, especially if you're mentally unstable over something/everything. 

7) Cat/Dog/Baby videos after crying to make you cry some more. Ideally between cooking dinner or post-dinner dessert time. 

8) Follow a new sport/attempt a new hobby. Whatever it is you don't know/don't understand feign interest and learn more about it. I've resisted sports all my life and somehow reading about F1 till 6 am is a cheap therapy here. 

9) Trust your intuition, especially if it's about people. If you think your time is over, move on. If you think you've more to give/take, stay. 

10) Drink water. It's the only advice that's lasted me all my life through school, college, and then now.
