life isn’t always fair
two good people can be horrible together. that doesn’t make either of them toxic, it’s just not what the other needed.
for years i was obsessed with who was “right” or “wrong” in friendships. was i their crazy ex friend? did they hate me all along? am i a bad person?
no- i wasn’t a bad person, i was just the wrong person for them.
Life is actually demonstrably unfair and the bad guy wins most of the time.
Life is inherently unpredictable, and change is constant. Despite our desire for stability and control, circumstances can shift in unexpected ways.
That they they don’t know why they exist or what happens when they die.
Denial so deep that we have hundreds of religions that have existed.
You’re never going to keep that white sweatshirt clean. Don’t even bother buying it.
If you wanna retire, you gotta start saving…
You can get really ill suddenly and everything you built could be gone. And you may not have support form the people in your life who don’t understand or don’t want to be there because it’s hard or because you don’t fit into their life anymore. Many people don’t want to think that this could happen to them, that they will always be healthy.
No one owes you anything.
Eventually we are all going to die
No matter where you work, or what you do, there’s always going to be That Person that nobody can figure out how they got hired, or why they’re allowed to continue working there.
You are not special
Luck plays a bigger factor in success than we’d like to think.
Nothing is permanent. Things change.
If you live long enough the end will be 5 to 10 years being totally miserable in a nursing home. I brought my newborn daughter to a nursing home to meet her great aunt. When the family was busy chatting I took the baby for a walk. There was a woman who was catatonic. Frozen. She was just staring at the floor. I walked in her room and put the baby on her bed. She focused a bit. Blinked and came back to reality. She couldn’t talk. Her hands were claws. But she reached up and touched the baby. I could see she was aware even though she couldn’t communicate. My daughter grabbed her hands and nose. Did all the things babies do. Eventually we left but for a few moments that woman was alive again. I suppose she went back to staring at the floor. But at least she had a new memory to ponder. I think about her a lot.
no one really cares about how you feel 🤷🏽♂️
You can work harder than you ever thought possible for years on end and never reach your goals
That you can’t have a better past.
If you can’t rely on yourself, and I mean only on yourself, you might be in trouble. It’s very important to have others to rely on, but you also need to be able to rely on yourself in case you’re completely alone, because there may come a time where you are indeed completely alone with yourself and have no one else to rely on.
You are not a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. You are poor or middle class.
sometimes you have to just take the L and move on.
Some people give it their all and still fail or come up short despite putting forth their best efforts.
That life does suck, but just because it sucks, doesn’t mean you have to contribute to it. And that people deserve kindness even if they’re major assholes, because at the end of the day they’re still people. A lot of people are major assholes because they’ve never really seen kindness in their life.
Not everyone you love will love you back
You can do everything right, and still lose.
Also you can do everything wrong, and still win.
Very few people will ever really give a shit about you or your well-being. They’ll say the right stuff, but they will not inconvenience themselves even a little for someone or something else.
