This.

Going to give more than one, because life is complex.

Live for yourself, at least to some capacity. You are the only one who can ultimately make yourself happy and fulfilled, because only you know your deeper motivations, talents, and desires. Spending a lifetime trying to live another person's dream or meet their expectations is a complete waste of time. Furthermore, you can't hope to bring happiness to anyone else's life if you aren't there yourself.

Also...pay it forward. That doesn't just mean with others, but also yourself. Do things today which will pay off down the road. That way any momentary setbacks will be at least somewhat offset by forward thinking contributions of your past. This applies to all areas of health, finances, socializing, home ownership, career/work, etc.

With regards to relationships, friends, family, or partners...keep it simple. Hang out, have fun, and talk about anything. The ones worth keeping around aren't going to be bothered by you speaking your mind or acting weird...within reason, and also provided that you open the door for them to likewise behave freely. Love and friendship has to be done in such a way that the other person feels free.

Also...sunscreen and seatbelts (and condoms as mentioned), fucking use them.

Not all dreams should be pursued. Some should be left just as they are; dreams. Because most of the time, we're only in love with the end result, not the pocess of achieving that result. Sometimes, wanting something is better than having it.

Fair, skin cancer is legit though. Made that post upon getting home from the beach with my mother and aunt who both have had skin cancer surgeries . Being pale as hell has some downsides.

To many people have decided they can act a certain way because they "deserve" something from others. Fuck that. I wish more people realized "no one owes them shit"

realizations



You are going to make mistakes and you are going to fail, it's okay, and it's an integral part of growing as an individual - it's important to get out there and fall down and get back up, fear of failure or perfectionism is a sign of self awareness and high standards but you will never reach your true capability if it takes precedence in your life.

You never get wise, you only get older. No one gets an instruction manual, everyone is dealing with their own bullshit, and making things up as they go. If you're a young adult and you feel like a fuck up and like you haven't lived up to your potential or like you should've done this or done that instead, welcome to the club, almost everyone is in it and pretending not to be.

Few things in this world are worth the energy and effort required to hate something - people especially. The only way to win is to ignore and focus on your own shit.

Gandhi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world" and this is more important than ever for millennials. Even though we inherited some shit circumstances,  we still live in a time where we have so many other things other generations have not had, a million things need to change in the world but we're entitled to none of it if all we do is bitch and don't try to make a positive impact ourselves. Go do something, volunteer, start reducing your individual footprint on the environment, get involved in your local politics and look at things you can made an immediately difference in now instead of waiting for some collective shift or savior or worse, not thinking about it at all.


People do a lot of terrible terrible things and there are many I would not ever want to interact with but humans are generally good. I am going to be bold and say the vast majority of hurt in this world(there are exceptions to everything of course) is fostered through a lack of understanding, ignorance, pride and ego, and pain - rarely are people outright malicious or evil, though they are capable of evil things. Not trusting anyone is no way to live and trusting everyone is a good way to get burnt or worse.

I once took enough LSD to end up in a psychiatric unit for about two weeks.

During the ordeal, I met an old man who I was sure was God. I asked him what the secret of the universe was. He gave me a conspiratorial wink, leaned in and whispered to me, "Watch. What. You. Say."

He told me many other things but this is what stood out the most to me. Watch what you say. Most of the problems you'll have in life are completely dependent on what you say.

:shrug: Just my 2 cents.

Daily meditation, yoga, martial arts and exercise the only hope for inner peace.

People and life will be monstrously unfair and cruel often. Only turning inwards through yoga and meditation provides a sure and reliable refuge.

I really like what you said, Moonshoe, because I know the inner peace you reference. It is important to know how you can personally find inner peace, and most times it is through continued practice of activities that serve the good of your body and mind.

I think the most important realization I've had regarding "growing up' is that you control your own destiny. You may not be able to achieve your loftiest dreams--recognize them as dreams and leave them as such, as one member said above--but you are able to get an honest assessment of your personal situation and discover ways to better it.

There are many obstacles in everyone's path, but if you are conscious of their existence and focus on navigating around them, rather than allowing them to block your progress, you are able to better your situation. Forward thinking, as another member mentioned, will often better your life in the present, which, as another member stated, is all that there is.

Cheers pubbers :cheers: Thanks for the conversation; it has given me much nourishment.
