I’ve made mistakes in my life, like we all have. My judgement wasn’t used correctly, or in some cases not used at all. I’ve found a pattern emerge. When my emotions were up in arms, I had no control over what choices I made. I just wanted the pain to stop.

On my 27 years on the earth, here are lessons I’ve learned.

Men like women to be strong and independant, but not too much so they lose their masculinity.
Both men and women would rather look elsewhere if their current partner is “too much work”.
Saying sorry isn’t enough, act like you’re sorry.
Flattery will get you everywhere! lol
Pretending to be more like someone else so someone finds you attractive is rather sad, get your own life, not mine!!!
Do not forget you’re a guest on this planet, be courteous, polite and friendly. Be charming – it harms noone and makes people smile.
Taking away other people’s happiness just to fulfill your own emptiness is totally wrong – you are a leech by doing so, only out for self-gratification. people like you are the worst because you only care about yourself, and pretend to care about others, only so that you may benefit.
There are so many different kinds of love that a lot of people – too many – get confused by them, and use the word Love to get their own way, or get someone’s affections. Love is this – it is a bond between you and someone. Be it your family (unconditional love), your friends (brotherly love – sometimes mistaken for romantic love at times), or a romantic partner (romantic love – often confused with infatuation especially in newly found relationships).

All mistakes have a lesson you must learn. If you cannot find the lesson, or do not learn, then you are doomed to a stunted life, intellectually and emotionally. You will be constantly looking back on that mistake, wishing for what it was you lost, daydreaming of having it once more, searching for something similar to replace that hole in your life, instead of moving on and not making the same mistake twice, with confidence , with pride that you can indeed leave the passed in the past, and boldly stepping into the shoes of a new and improved you. You have come one step closer to becoming the real you. The real you of the future, that is :)
