Onesan

In the world of geisha, the word onesan (pronounced oh-neh-sahn) means 'older sister'. Every maiko (apprentice geisha) has an onesan. When a maiko has her misedashi (formal debut) she goes through san san kudo. San san kudo is a binding ceremony, where a maiko and geiko (geisha) are legally bound as sisters. A maiko's onesan gives her advice and helps her in the complicated world of geisha. A maiko's onesan is always in the same hanamachi (geisha district).

Right now I am only a minarai, but when I have my misedashi, I will be formally bound with my onesan.

Sell one's soul

To do anything, even something bad or dishonest, in return for money, power, respect, success, nothing, etc.

Never sell your soul to anybody and/or for anything. Always be true to yourself.

spread oneself too thin

Overextend oneself, undertake too many different enterprises. For example, Tom's exhausted; what with work, volunteer activities, and social life he's spread himself too thin. This expression alludes to smearing something (like butter on bread) in such a thin layer that it does not cover the surface. Jonathan Swift used spread thin in a positive sense, that is, something should occur less often (Polite Conversation, 1731-1738): "They (polite speeches) ought to be husbanded better, and spread much thinner."

With so many layoffs in one's work place there is nothing one can do except spread oneself too thin to keep one's job.

ride one's own melt

to go one's own way, enjoying the pleasure of the here and now and ignoring what others think.

to live according to the values you appreciate and the qualities you've gained

"...I take pleasure in the details. You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt" (Troy Dyer, "Reality Bites", the movie)

I'm often told that i'm doing everything totally wrong, that i'm a loser. I simply say I'm riding my own melt.
