Sometimes fights just happen because people are tired and irritable.
Sleep on it, youll often forget what you were so angry about last night.
8.If you love them, let them go.
If they come back to you, theyre yours.
This made me normalize toxic relationships where I keep letting abusive people back into my life.
Also, theoretically, if you love something or someone why the hell would you let it go?
You keep them safe, you make them happy.

Its your first date?
Go see a movie
Never fucking do this.
I would rather play chess, than take a girl to see a movie on our first date.
10.Its better to whole ass one thing than to half-ass two things.
One of the lessons Im trying to teach myself is the value of half a job done.
So if I dont have the energy to get into every nook and cranny, I dont sweep.
And then my floor gets way grosser than if Id just done it and done a crappy job.
11.Dont worry about what other people think!
This is stupid because not only is it telling you to ignore constructive criticism, its just plain WRONG.
Like if everyone says your an asshole, youre probably an asshole and you should work towards changing that!
Dont just ignore them.

Its terrible when youre an adult because now you have no idea how to online grid with others.

Some passions are better as hobbies, or at least have a fallback skill set.

Wildly unhealthy, with an unhealthy connection to food.

The Health at Every Size movement is harmful and promotes obesity.
21.If someone offers you something for free, always take it.
You just end up owing a lot of favors.

Yeah if I can get out of this debt hole I have dug… maybe I can actually live.
