No one else is really going to help you or fix things for you.
You are on your own and always will be.
2.Being yourself often isnt enough.
Murilo Folgosi
There is no inherent merit to authenticity (which is sometimes merely a euphemism for stubbornness).
Sometimes you should probably kill off parts of yourself so that something stronger and better can replace them.
5.Sometimes your friends dont consider themselves as close to you as you do to them.
7.The only constant in my life is me.
9.Youre not meant for some people like some people arent meant for you.
10.Super simple but… some things arent just meant to be.
A relationship, job, whatever.
Its not lack of trying or wanting.
Its just how she goes, bubs.
The fucking way she goes.
11.Sometimes IM the problem.
IM the one who needs to chill out and back away from the situation.
12.Sometimes you have to forgive people for being selfish.
And that sometimes you yourself have to be selfish.
13.You cant help anyone that isnt helping themselves.
Theres nothing you’re able to do for them unless they help themselves too.Nothing.
15.At the end of the day, Im responsible for what happens in my life.
If I want to be free, its on me and no one else.
Someone fucks me over, I shouldnt have trusted them.
I got fired from my job, I should have been a better employee.
Oh, that boss was a dick?
Well,he didnt show up with a gun and force me to work for him.
Basically, the world exists.
Businesses, governments and the people that make them up exist regardless of me.
I am responsible for navigating that to the best of my ability.
You literally have to start over with new people.
Its taking the temptation too far that is wrong, not the temptation itself.
Like, being hungry is ok, but overeating is bad.
Its ok to be attracted to people, but objectifying them is bad.
Those kinds of things.
20.Just cause you like someone doesnt make them not a shitty person.
21.It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.
That is not a weakness, that is life.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard

People can change and diverge over time.
23.You are not nearly as exceptional or special as your parents may have led you to believe.
24.All good things come to an end at some point.
Just got out of a rough spot because of that.
Hopefully that day is a long ways away.
25.The vast majority of people in the world dont care about you as a person.
27.Opportunity cost is a very real thing.
28.Wanting to help does not mean you arent making the situation worse.
29.You arent that important in the grand scheme of things.
People dont think about you as much as you think.
Dont sweat your small mistakes.
30.Your parents are not perfect, and you cant change them.
31.For some people actions and words go in completely opposite directions.
Always look at the actions.
32.Its much easier to give advice than make change in ones own life.
33.Not all parents love their children.
Had to learn this the hard way, and I see more of it everyday.
It breaks my heart seeing how bad children are treated.
34.Your primary aim is not to achieve some purpose.
You are not just a tool.
And its hard, and I usually cant but it is the only way through IMO.
37.The people you love can die, just like that.
Suicide, accidents, whatever.
And the reasons youre missing them are, oftentimes, quite selfish.
38.People dont have to like you and no matter how likeable you are some people just wont like you.
Thats ok.
you might be the most delicious strawberry but some people just dont like strawberries.
39.Some people like being unhappy.
40.Sometimes it doesnt matter how hard you try, youll fail.
41.You are not guaranteed a job in the field of study that you have a degree in.
43.Youre not responsible for anyones happiness.
44.No one wants to talk to a depressed person and depression actively makes you less desirable company to others.
Thats not how it works though, they just dont want to know.
And its hard to blame them because its obviously not their problem.
Thats a particularly hard pill to swallow for me.
The world doesnt give a shit, it will move on without you.
45.Nothing in life dictates ease, fairness, or justice.
It is hard to admit that your life is a burden you gotta carry.
It is hard to accept that sometimes, you will do everything right and fail.
The hardest pill to swallow is that of total responsibility.
46.Sometimes its genetics, and it doesnt matter how you make a run at counterbalance it.
It sucks and, most likely, not your fault.
47.There is nobody in the world who can save you, its all on you.
Be it your mental health or your happiness, nobody can help you truly except yourself.
48.Not everything will be logical or make any sense at all.
49.Someday, everyone and everything will be dead.
Its not just that you wont be alive anymore, you wont even be remembered.
Regardless of what you or anyone else does, the end result is the same.
50.Love is a biochemical reaction that last for 6 month.
Past that relationship are build and maintain on common interest and work.
51.High school smart is not the same as smart.
You have to amend your behavior and own what you fucked up.
54.Those who care about you could still end up hurting you, usually without realizing it.
55.Being good, truly good, requires doing good things without the expectation of receiving something in return.
