6. Live in the Moment
Pay more attention to
your partner than you
do to technology
7. Own It
Be responsible for your
own feelings. If you did
something wrong, own up
to it. A person who admits
their mistakes or misplaced
emotions is much easier to
forgive than someone who
does not.

8. Laugh
Mel and Con from Lez
Backpack once waited three
hours for a bus that was
supposed to depart at 6am
in Bali... ‘With each passing hour we grew more and
more frustrated. We could
have rattled off the injustices done to us: forced to
wake up at dawn, wait alone
in a parking lot with no time
for breakfast. Instead, our
frustration turned into
comedy. There we were, up
at dawn, in a parking lot and
starving. We giggled and
thought, this will be a good
story someday.’
