if what you’re motivated by in life is mostly external akin to validation. then everyone is gonna like you, no one is gonna love you. if you chase after and choose to live and die only by the truth, you’re gonna like you. the right people are gonna love you.
you didn’t even get to love if there wasn’t any respect. they are polar opposites of mutually exclusive. rather interconnected. don’t exist without the other.
that’s the good and bad. the satirical irony of the human experience. when it’s all said and done, it’s only ever yourself in the room alone left to blame for why your life looks how it does. that’s a beautiful thing. it means you can always choose a better one.
if you can tell a lie easily then it means you can deceive yourself and others about what and how you really feel. and thats never gonna lead you to a person that knows how to value anything, much less others.
nothing changes or gets better for anyone that isn’t 1000% honest with themselves. that’s why everyone on here is looped on negativity and dissatisfaction. honesty isn’t on their to do list.
The more self-regulated you become, the more you realize that communicating your feelings isn’t an emergency. You can sit with it. Sleep on it. Let the wave pass. You don’t have to rush into expression just because the emotion feels loud.1/2
I really want my age group of 30-40, to graduate from arrested development and realize they are 10-15 years away from ageism affecting their lives
I understand wanting to believe you are forever a child, but that is not reality and not accepting reality is hurting many people
all I really need is a woman to be very sweet and strive to have her own. whether or not she’s high earning or as ambitious as me doesn’t concern me none.
people don’t usually do what’s best for them either. even if they know it’ll derail their life at some level. they do what they’re programmed and desire to do even if that’s detrimental to their well being.
again, I understand nobody teaches us these things. but we aren’t children or even young adults anymore. you’re responsible for learning how to honor yourself as an adult, and others.
Life is long, but also very short
Stay away from people and things that harm you
Alot of issues we have as humans sometimes is not knowing when to stop allowing people & things to be in our lives
Please be mindful of how time and another day isn't owed to you
