This is just here for people to want to share lessons they learned on the road of life. When I was in college I had a girlfriend who was sweet, but we did not have the same interests. It ended in a mess and I felt like garbage for ending it, after a while thanks to time and friends I got back on my feet. For future relationships I descided to make friends and see if it goes any farthur from there. So if you have a lesson you learned from the crazy road of life share it, or direct me to a forum that is about this kind of stuff. Thank you for readying. Cheers

If you are trying too hard and you get to the point where it feels like you are forcing something to be rather than just letting things happen smoothly, then whatever it is, let it go and move on. Forcing something to happen doesn't mean it will happen, it will just exhaust you with trying. Find another route or another focus.

I've quoted this before, but I'll quote it again because I believe it to be true.

As well, often it's the simplest of things that bring the most joy.

Here is s small sample of things that I have learned in my adventures.

I live by these words every day:

 

Don't whiz on electric fences.

Never ever, under any set of circumstances underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.

When in doubt, pinky out.

When all else fails, mashed potato.

When a woman says nothings wrong, it means something is wrong.

When a woman says something is wrong, it means everything is wrong.

When a woman says "That's not funny!". You had better not laugh your ass off.

If you wake up and run in to an asshole at some point in your day, don't worry, assholes come and go.

If you wake up and everyone is an asshole, there is a very good chance that you are the asshole.

What goes around comes around.

However, I am fairly confident that sometimes, I am what comes around.

Having a plan for everything is a great way to keep your life on track.

However, no great story begins with "So I showed them the evening's itinerary.".

If a stranger offers you something, you take it.

Just have your friends test it out first.

There are is no such thing as a stupid question, but there are stupid people.

Always carry a pocket knife, it could literally save your life.

When someone is troubled sometimes words do nothing to help them.

In this case you go full heavy assault and hug it out. That shit is psychological morphine for hearts.

If a friend calls you and needs help with something, anything, you do your damnedest to give them your aide.

Odds are you will need their help in the near future.

Still, take note of whether they are taking advantage or not.

Not all friends are truly friends.

Nothing is sweeter than money earned, though money found or won is still pretty delicious.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can solve about 98% of the problems getting in the way of said happiness.

Work now, play later.

Just because everyone is doing something doesn't mean it is a good idea, or ever sane.

Do what you want, not what you are told to do.

Unless what you want is to be a murdered, that shit isn't cool.

Most people don't really listen, they are just waiting for their chance to talk.

The sooner you reliase that most of the people in the world aren't against you, they are for themselves, the easier life becomes.

Never abuse a fellow human, and never allow a fellow human to be abused.

If you have to stop and ask yourself if what you are about to do is okay, it probably isn't.

Often, talking the talk is enough to convince everyone that you can walk the walk.

But you had better be ready for that one guy who expects you to deliver.

 

Well, that is about it off the top of my head.

They aren't all original, but they are all good.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

~*le snip of awesome advice*~

 

Well, that is about it off the top of my head.

Are you a dad yet? Because if not you sound totally ready for it.

 

 

Here's some of mine
 

Cooking - always put less in than you need, because if you need to, you can always add more

Sewing - always cut a fraction more than you need, because if need be, you can always make it smaller (I guess this applies to any kind of crafting)

No matter how predictable you think people can be, someone will always surprise you

Give someone the benefit of the doubt, they may not be what they seem.

The chances you are wrong can be very high, if it turns out you are, be humble and accept this.


Because I can...

I wanna split that post into 30 smaller posts so people can like each individual post.

 

That's a wealth of great lessons, Affray

And I would wear those likes as if they were badges of honour.

Though at this rate I would need a pretty hefty jacket to hang them all on.

That makes me feel awesome, and more confident in my future dadding.

Which I want to do soon.

All this great advice.. and I was going to come in and add "watch your step when you run in the grass in your bare feet. I stepped on a bee once."

 

I guess I'll also add that some of the most worthwhile things in life are also some of the hardest.

I don't know why but when I saw that, the first thing I imagined was literally running inside an arse hole...what's wrong with me.

Sorry to double post but that is just the most adorable piece of advice I've ever heard.

Well when things are so easily associated with anal travelling, maybe.

Alright! Some life advice! I got... some of that... I think... Whatever... Here's some things I've learned:

 

1: Don't ever say to yourself "I'll do that in the morning". You won't.

2: There is someone tracking everything you are doing right now, so never do anything you wouldn't want to tell a complete stranger unless it's in your mind juice.

3: What you do may not be special to most people, but it means a world of difference to the individuals that matter most.

4: There is an exception to every rule, even that rule, that exception being itself.

5: No matter how smart you are, you unironically love something that most smart people would consider terrible.
