    That all consciousness is just subjective facets of the collective universal consciousness. We are all one entity living amongst itself.

    That neither of my parents really cared for me, or loved me. That realization really hurt, and I’m still so angry about it.

    Stopping believe in a god/gods had an effect. Was Christian until about 13 then slowly got out of it up to 16. No cuss to anyone who still believes, you do you, but for me it all starts to look very different from the outside looking in. Fortunately in the UK, it’s mostly not a big deal.

    Treat others the way you want to be treated, it doens’t always work but i was a asshole and got really depressed, then i noticed how shitty i was to other people for no reason, i became nicer firstly because i wanted friends but now that i got better i really enjoy being nice to people and that changed my life for the better.

    Friends should be through shared hobbies and interests. If you’re young and make close friends with the people who happen to be around you and all you do is shallow activities, it’s a complete waste of your time, and those people will probably be gone sooner than later, fair-weather friends. if you’re based on shared interest and hobbies, then you continue to learn and grow, you make yourself more part of a community where it’s easy to engage with others, and there’s a healthier dynamic generally.

    When my son was born and I realized I am not the most important person in my life.

    Some of us aren’t going to grow old, so you should live life while you’re young enough to do it.

    I got diagnosed with cancer at 24 and had to do chemo. I quit my desk job and moved to the mountains once I found out I won the fight. I’m 28 now, 2.5 years in remission, settled into a new career that I love, in a location I love, and I’m in a healthy relationship on top of that. Chase your dreams while you’re still young enough to do it.

    That not letting others get to you isn’t that hard. Becoming insult-proof is just a matter of healthy stoicism and knowing your worth.

    You’ve better things to do than worrying what others (especially those who don’t like you) think about you. Their opinion is worth nothing and their words are inconsequential.

    That I didn’t need her attention to be whole. I was hung up on this woman who didnt really want me and I went through a hard patch. Super cliche and common after all. But through therapy I realized I didn’t need her or frankly any woman to be a person after all. That was a positive moment of clarity that I am great as I am.

    Once your parents are gone, there is no one left on this planet that loves you unconditionally.

    Someone once told me that the life you lead isn’t a dress rehearsal for something else.

    Tick tock.

    I realized i’ve been avoiding my power because it scares people or that its too much. So I taught myself to be small, and it damaged me severely
