The moment when you truly feel the weight of time and it catching up to you: Seeing your parents' hands wrinkle and show veins in old age.
Love and connect. Take nothing and no one for granted.
Whenever a man or boy is angry, for whatever reason, it is treated as normal; just part of his character; just who he is. But whenever a woman or girl is angry, no matter how justified it is, we are made to think that there is something wrong with her. Teach girls that it is ok to be angry at injustices - she can "lash out" (something that men are never accused of doing), and people should attempt to empathise with her, no judgement, no vilification. Teach boys not to be angry for small, illogical, irrational, petty, and/or unfounded reasons, for there will - there should - be consequences for their words and actions. Teach them to say "sorry" more, and stop making girls feel so guilty for existing that they say "sorry" constantly, even when they've done nothing wrong.
What should be the universal attitude when it comes to the LBTGQ community - heck, to everyone: No one cares who you are attracted to. No one. It's no one's business but your own.
There are no two groups of friends who are more reliable, more comforting, more reassuring, more warm, and who will give you your space, your alone time, and their presence whenever they are needed, than: Cats and books.
