I think the biggest life lesson I have learnt thus far is that happiness is not always guaranteed. By all means strive for happiness, but to expect every aspect of your life to be peachy is completely unrealistic. I think, and this is my personal opinion only, that the increase in recent times of young people with mental health issues relates quite directly to their expectations of life. I think many children are taught by their parents and at school that the world is their oyster, that success is something they should expect. The reality is, for nearly every one of us, that you will fail at a few things in your life at the very least. Don't stop looking for happiness, but don't expect that just because you seek you will find. Oh, and barbecue sausages are just the bomb, you can stick your gourmet sausages thanks very much. That probably runs a close second.

People who come into your life, be it extended family, friends or just randoms, that say or do or act as required to gain your trust and then screw you over.. They walk the walk until they get what they were after, then toss you aside or worse, treat you like shit... The lesson I've learnt thought, is to not let it change you and make you jaded. Yes, be more careful and selective in who you trust and help, but don't let it change your good nature.. It's a hard one to fight. But they are the ones at fault, not you. I've sent a few PM's to rhp's with regards to this, after hearing about misstreatment by people in their lives or even abuse and criticism from others on here when they've made a post.. There's enough shit in this world, the kind and good need to stand firm or the world's only going become a worse place to be.. Peace out and stay strong. - Posted from rhpmobile

First and foremost...Life isn't fair. It doesn't care that I am good and decent...it will try to beat me down, or it will reward my efforts, or treat me somewhere in between. Second, be kind to strangers.When meeting strangers, be the first to smile and offer a greeting. Someone has to go first. It puts others at ease and can only have benefits.

Karma is important to me. If l cause hurt to someone that was innocent, l do my best to build a bridge to make amends. If someone hurts me, they would need to be a good bridge builder, it will need to be a long one......my island is movable

Some questions have only one correct answer: Does my butt look fat in this? Did you enjoy dinner with my parents? etc.

I've learnt that the world is full of really stupid people, really really stupid people and there are a lot of people who cater to these idiots and dumb the world even more. Everyone lies, no one person will be ever 100% honest and those who do have very little friends and keep to themselves a lot. most prefer a comfortable lie over a an uncomfortable truth. Everyone has a hidden agenda and lie to it's advantage, I catch people out all the time, I'm not afraid to let them know about it either. People will and do use you, sometimes innocently other times for a reason, don't be afraid to tell people to fuck off because of it. Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right, minorities of opinionated people don't speak for the majority of us. The minority people spin their bullshit enough to make a scene where the majority of us get on with our lives and ignore them. Lastly, no one is so special on this earth they have earned the right to be a twat, I wish parents would stop making out their kids are special, when they get older they will learn the hard way. I have so many more to teach :P

If you give a human the opportunity to disappoint, they generally will. We're an acquired taste

..and one I've embraced as I've matured. "What other people think of me is none of my business." In other words...when I choose to live by a clear set of values, there's no need to fear the opinions of others.Because...when I care( worry? ) about what others think of me, my behaviour will change to suit the ideas of another.That's disempowerment, and the way to anxiety.

My lived experiences are not the same as anyone elses. Something I believe there are some great quotes, sayings, metaphors ect, --- some are Bullshit and don't help at all, a lot simply roll off the tounge to easily. I will let you know something when I was a convenyer for A.S.C.A. the many adult surviviours that came through our doors had terrible abuse history of all sorts of abuse, one of the people who came to a meating was a suriviour of The Family Cult - if you look up Anne Hamilton Burne you can check it out if you wish - what they endured at the hands of many and who were followers and their quals -- Doctors, teachers, and other highly qualified individuals.There was a documentery last year my daughter and I went to at a local independent movie theatre it was heartbreaking.After it finished there was an answer and question all off us learnt more. So as I said some sayings, quotes or just passing on thoughful knowledge can mean jack shit to some. look up---Raynor Carey Johnson (1901–1987) was an English parapsychologist, physicist andauthor.and his part in it all.

Does the phrase " everything happens for a reason" just piss you off? "YEP IT DOES" especially when an abuser says it.

When you forget to trust your gut, but then you are reminded in one of those ahh moments that what you initally felt was right.

Through unforseen concequences I wish I had never become an unwitting particapant in other peoples problematic behaviours. I was left feeling confused, overwhelmed and exausted. It would have been so wise to have withdrawn myself from the beginnig --- if only I had been aware at the time. Lesson -- Being mindful if there is a next time.

So many words are just so entertainig. They remind me of that quote from Wiliam Shakesphere William Shakespeare Quotes. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. Wonder what part I'm playing on this stage?

I used really worry about my grammar spelling and puntuation when I posted, and would not post often as I am a slow typer, took me forever as I would sit here and hesitate in case I missed mistakes and would often delete. Lately I have typed and posted thinking I didn't make any mistakes only to go oh shit not again along with a chuckle to myself, I don't even bother to do a typo correction post as I seem to be -- worrying less about it, ( a lesson I need to work on applying elsewhere) so that is a really positive step for me. I don't even think any huge magnifying glass in front of the screen would help LOL Blue :)
