Fifty shades of MOI...
Below are 50 things I have learned this year ( and in general and about myself)…
1. When most of the bars in Halifax are cleaner then my apartment, it's time to clean up…..or hit the bars. 2. If I run into an asshole in the morning, I ran into an asshole. If I run into assholes the entire day, I’m the asshole. 3. I am surprised at what lengths people will go to not face what’s real and painful inside of them. 4. It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply. 5. Just because someone desires me, does not mean they value me. Read it over. Again. 6. I do not have to attend every argument I am invited to. 7. It is better to be the one who smiled then the one who didn’t smile back. 8. Life becomes a lot easier when i accept the apology i never got. 9. If I have to force it, leave it. Relationships, friendships, ponytails. Just leave it. 10. While I am constantly expanding my circle of friends, I will continue to be very picky with whom I give my energy to. I will remain reserving my time and intensity exclusively for those who reflect sincerity. 11. Fair; is where you get cotton candy. 12. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes. 13. No one is really keeping track of how many times I fuck up, so chill the fuck out. 14. How I feel, and how I react to how I feel, determines my reality. 15. Continue to be careful of what I hear about another woman. I have learned that rumors typically either come from a man who can't have her, or a woman who can't compete with her. 16. I will probably never stop biting my nails. 17. As my boy Robin Williams said ( RIP) I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. Its not, the worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. 18. I should stop worrying about people, who are not worried about me. 19. I should probably continue waiting to meet a man who has more balls then I do. 20. Not every sorry deserves an “its okay” in return. 21. I know what I bring to the table, so I am not scared to eat alone. 22. Without deep conversation, my mind becomes restless. I need passion and intellect; it’s a shame that the men I have met often lack one or the other. 23. NEVER dream about success, work for it. 24. We all love someone, way too fucking much. 25. Stay single until someone actually compliments your life in a way that makes it better to not be single, if not, it’s not worth it. 26. What I do every day is important because I am exchanging my life for it. 27. People are only as busy as they make themselves. They can always make time for you. 28. They want to see you do good, but never better then them. Remember that. 29. Its really hard to make the same mistake twice, impossible really, because the second time you make it, its not a mistake, it’s a choice. 30. It doesn’t matter if they like me, just remember to be kind. 31. Possibly the worst distance between two people is misunderstanding. 32. The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people, to dumb people. 33. Never sleep with anyone crazier then yourself 34. Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored they go for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing. 35. Being successful means something different to everybody. Respect that. 36. Its okay to be angry. Never okay to be cruel. 37. Try and save yourself for a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic . ( F.K) 38. It is a sign of great insecurity to be hostel to the unfamiliar. 39. There is not one person in this entire world that is not crippling sad about something. I try and keep this in mind before opening my mouth. 40. The moment I feel like I have to prove my worth to someone is the moment to absolutely and utterly walk away. 41. Potentially, the biggest mistake I have made in my life is letting people stay in it far longer then they deserve. 42. The sin that is most destructive in people’s life is typically the one they are most defensive about. 43. Sometimes, quitting is the bravest decision. 44. Never waste my time trying to explain myself to people who are committed to misunderstanding me. 45. Do what I feel in my heart to be right because I will be criticized for it anyway. 46. Comparison is the thief of joy. 47. People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for. 48. I should always remember that sometimes, the way I think about a person isn’t the way they actually are. 49. Sometimes, I have to forget what I feel and remember what I deserve. 50. Don’t be delicate. Be vast and brilliant.
