Remi's 35 Rules to Go By

Remi was a remarkably thoughtful—and thought-full—young man, wise beyond his years. He had a way of seeing the world with depth and intention, always reflecting, always learning. After he passed, we found something extraordinary—a handwritten list in one of his journals from 2022, simply titled “35 Rules to Go By.” He was just 19 when he wrote them, yet his words hold the kind of wisdom that lingers, the kind that stays with you.


These rules are more than just guidelines; they are a glimpse into the way Remi lived—rooted in integrity, passion, and kindness. They are a testament to his character, his outlook, and the thoughtful way he moved through life.


Now, we share them with the world—not just to honor his memory, but to inspire others. Whether you’re searching for guidance, perspective, or just a moment of reflection, we hope these rules resonate with you the way they do with us.


Remi may no longer be here, but his wisdom lives on. Explore his 35 Rules to Go By and carry a piece of his thoughtful spirit with you.

Remi's 35 Rules to Go By

  1. Don’t tell other people’s drama [unless you are for sure they won’t tell]. 
  2. When it seems the scariest, do it then. 
  3. You won’t be good your first time.
  4. Be honest (don’t lie). 
  5. Control your feelings. Don’t let other people. If other people can’t control your emotions, you’re in control. 
  6. When you feel like you’re not being heard, listen. Watch. Observe. You learn a lot by just observing. 
  7. Have a clear goal. 
  8. Be aware/conscious of your decisions. 
  9. With friends comes power. (Do most things yourself tho.) 
  10. Don’t be attracted to “things”, clothes, toys, etc. … 
  11. If you want something, get it. 
  12. If it’s important, write it down. 
  13. You get one shot at life; live it.
  14. Forgive and forget. 
  15. Notice bad habits and consciously get rid of them. 
  16. Gather as much knowledge as you can. 
  17. Live for yourself, no one else. 
  18. Put yourself out there (talk to people). 
  19. Take criticism. 
  20. Only buy what you need. 
  21. Change up things. (Never live comfortably.) 
  22. Eat healthy 
  23. Be patient. 
  24. Know what you’re doing and how you are doing it. 
  25. Life is happier when you are. 
  26. Don’t take social media seriously. 
  27. Be better than everyone. Be the best. 
  28. Limit yourself to just a couple hours of games a week. 1-2 a day, 3-5 a week “screens”. 
  29. Question things. Everything. 
  30. Anger never helps, makes you blind. 
  31. When surprises come take them at face value. 
  32. Be kind. Don’t bother or harass people in public. 
  33. Be aware of your surroundings. 
  34. Talk like you know. Listen like you’re wrong. 
  35. If you put yourself out there, be ok with being judged.
