I recently stumbled across an awesome article written by a 22 year old on things she has learned thus far in life. Everything she said I agreed with 100% and felt a sense of relief that someone else out there is going through/has gone through/is going through things that I experience, too. It really motivated me and sparked a light in me to want to write and share my own ideas of what I've learned throughout life, too. If anyone is interested in her blog the link is  Right hereeeeee Anyway, so this is in no particular order of what I feel is more important than other lessons, but here it goes. 1) Talk it out.   Often I feel fed up with things or even people, and I shut down and decide to just keep to myself and continue to grow more and more frustrated. Over the years I've noticed it's a really bad habit that I don't benefit from at all. The more I confront matters and talk things out, I feel so much better after. Whether the result is what I imagined or expec

I've never really understood why a person would remain in a relationship or job environment that is destroying their happiness and mental state. If you are unhappy after trying and trying and doing all you possibly could have for a situation, it is time you move on, leave, change it up. You are allowed to do so. I don't know what book people read where they think they are forced to stay somewhere or contracted by law to be with a certain man/woman! (Even if you ARE married, there is a thing called divorce). I know one side of my readers are going to throw up their arms and mention the obvious, family being torn and friends and people wanting to keep their perfect life and not air their dirty laundry--But see, those are the people who care more about an image versus what is INSIDE The image. These kind of people think they are avoiding being talked about by remaining miserable and doing things they think are expected of them. The other group of people falls in

No one gets it, I feel so alone, all the time. Being surrounded by family or friends doesn't make a shit's difference. I feel as if no one can relate to what I've been through... I mean, how could they? They haven't been through it. I don't like isolating myself, but I find myself wishing I was alone while I am around others. What the fuck is wrong with me? I seem to never be happy or able to be happy. I can't get over things. I hold grudges. I know my flaws. I don't need advice or anyone to listen. Wanna know why? Because that won't change a damn thing. I still don't have my mom, I never will again. I can vent and let it out, but what the fuck will that change? Will it make me feel lighter and happier? No. I will feel as if now whoever the fuck was bored enough to listen feels bad for me. Or feels happy they aren't me. Or feels like they don't know what to say or do, because truly they can't do or say anything. They most likely will th

If you take offense to something that is not directly said to you or meant to be for you, chances are, you're guilty. A guilty conscious is more aware than the non-guilty conscious about certain things that pertain to them (in their life). Example: If you happen to talk shit about someone behind their back, and COINCIDENTALLY this same person you spoke about happens to write some kind of public/casual statement/quote just directing it to ANYONE who is two faced or unable to say things to a person's face, you may perhaps automatically assume it is about you, when in fact this person never even knew you did such a thing! Don't act guilty, if you're not guilty. Don't do stupid shit. If you are guilty, keep that shit to yourself, or else you are just telling on yourself. If you just don't do stupid shit, you won't need to feel guilty. Lol. -ssr
