Slow Learner

Life's taught me a bunch of lessons. Some I've understood, some I haven't. At all. But of one thing I am certain, there's a whole lot more for me to learn.

Life's waiting in some dark alley, waiting to catch me unawares, and teach me something more. About me. About the world.

Here are some that did manage to get through my thick skull.

If you're falling for someone who seems completely self-satisfied, stay the fuck away. Because, chances are, they're perfectly happy in their own little world and your absence will matter just as little as your presence will. You will live on the periphery of their existence, hoping to be seen. Hoping to be loved. And then one day, just like that, you will become dispensable.

Have the courage to bare your soul to the person you're with. Never mind the consequences.

At the end of each day, if there is even one thing that made you smile, then your day wasn't wasted. And if you managed to bring a smile to someone's face, then you will have accomplished a lot from your day.

Don't ever be foolish enough to trust blindly. It's only a disaster waiting to happen. Blind trust. That in no way means throw trust out the window. No. Trust away. But with your eyes wide open.

At least once in your life, love unconditionally.
