7 Truths of Reality
- No one is coming to save you. Being a functioning adult means realizing you are responsible for everything in your life, even if it wasn’t your fault.
- Strong boundaries make for good relationships. Weak boundaries make drama.
- Many of your problems don’t get fixed, you just learn how to live despite them.
- Your mind lies to you all the time, it will tell you that the world is ending when it’s not, that a mistake is fatal when it’s not, that everyone is thinking about you and laughing about you when they’re not. Learn how to tell your mind to shut the fuck up.
- Stop trying to convince people to like you, the right people won’t need to be convinced, and everyone else is just going to get very annoyed.
- Sometimes the best thing you can do is let a dream die, no one likes to hear that but it’s true.
- Only a few people in your life are going to matter in the long run, when you find them treat them right, make time for them, keep them close and be grateful.
