Always check for toilet paper before you shit
- Be comfortable in your own skin.
- Know why you have boundaries, and keep the good ones.
- They either want you to listen, or to help. They rarely want both.
- It’s only a “Teaching Moment” if they want to be taught. Otherwise you’re just annoying.
- Try not to confuse politeness for friendship.
- Chew each bite of food into a paste before swallowing, with your eating utensil on the table or the hand meal out of your hand.
- The true you is the you that you do when no one’s watching. (See #1…)
- A happy life is 51% happy. Settle for nothing less, strive for something sustainably more.
- If you’re feeling depressed take a step back and make sure you haven’t accidentally surrounded yourself with assholes.
- Only ever brush and floss the teeth you want in your head when you’re old.
Nothing matters but family and friends. The rest will pass sooner or later, there is no need to cling to it when it is time to let go.
Including family and friends.
Stoic/Buddhist wisdom

Drugs and alcohol don’t make things better.
But they do make things less boring
Only accurate if it’s Bailey’s, from a shoe.
No one has to care about you. No one has to be nice to you. No one has to be fair to you. Expecting otherwise is just going to leave you open to getting fucked over. People are only out for themselves and if you don’t want to be taken advantage of you have to watch your own ass.
Selfishness within reason is good.
The only constant is change
It’s such a simple phrase, but this got me through a really tough time in my life when I was sort of bordering suicidal. I just wanted it to all stop. But I knew that if I waited long enough things would change. Maybe they would change for the better and maybe they would change for the worse, but they would change. Things always change and ebb and flow and there are always good and bad. So I held out long enough and things changed. And I’m still here today. I’m also in significantly better place than I was back then!
In north America we have a legal system not a justice system.

Some people truly are that bad. They can look like a normal person but in reality can not be redeemed. It’s not a communication issue,you don’t need to work harder. These people ARE the problem. When you live with normal people for your life , you can’t even comprehend that people like that are real.
