    ‘Nobody cares, David’ – Alexis Rose, Schitt’s Creek.

    People are generally more focused on themselves than on others, and they dont think about you as much you think they do. So ‘Nobody cares’, as negative as it sounds, is actually a very cool thing to live by.

  25. crudeheadgearseller Avatar

    Just how little time they actually have, and how much of it they spent thinking about a better future instead of living in the present.

    I’ve recently realised just how fast life is moving as a result of living a more digital experience. I think it’s possible that sooner or later, we may collectively realise this and mourn the time we lost interacting with other humans on a face to face basis.

    How short life is. The passage of time makes time fly by faster, meaning that the age of 35-85 may feel no longer than the time from 5-35.

    Youth. Truly, as years go by.. In a blink of an eye. How I would compare my lifestyle then vs. now. I’d go back to complaining about something so mundane just to appreciate what it was, and embrace that my now won’t be so bad compared to some years when I am evidently older. When I say “Take care” I mean it with my being. Please, take care.

  96. Mrlustyou Avatar

    It’s healthier for you to cut negative people out of your life in the long run and sometimes that includes family if they’re abusive. I wish I realized this when I was younger. The mental abuse my mom put me through growing up is crazy. She was bi polar and started kicking me out at 14 because I didn’t have a job while my ADHD ass was trying to focus on school.

    That was impossible because I wasn’t medicated. Now every time I see a parent being rude to their kid I’ll say something I won’t be on their level in front of the kid but intellect always wins.Don’t keep negative people in your life most of the time they won’t get better. At the end of the day your life matters to you and no one else. Abuse deteriorates you a lot and no one deserves it.

    That stress never actually goes away. There’s no magical point where life is finally ‘chill.’ The trick is learning to deal with it better, not waiting for it to disappear
