Life lessons

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?

I have contentment is not that treasure among all the lessons in life. I appreciate the beauty of things I cannot reach but find pleasure whole heartedly in the simple pleasures of life.

That life is a privilege we're lucky to have and that tomorrow isn't guaranteed, so hug your loved ones, make the phonecalls to your friends that you keep putting off and find something to do with life that you enjoy x

@Adwoa
If you're going to pretend that you're a psycho analyst, you're going to need a much better command of the English language with writing skills to match in order to pull that one off.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

I’ve not really thought too much about why I did it, but yes I suppose the reasons you mention are definitely at the heart of it.@Adwoa

Adwoa · 22-25, F

@swirlie lol fair enough I just read that back now prob was a lot of typo but it’s obvious to read in between the lines. Also being self aware is important for everyone and I love understanding how ppl minds work it’s fascinating :).

It will end, so don't waste it

probably the best collection of them were written down a little less than 2000 years ago by roman emperor marcus aurelius.

and it's better to be able to learn from others mistakes and guidance than insisting on finding out the hard way on my own.

@swirlie
Wow! What a trip your life has been so far swirlie! I never had quite that traumatic a lifetime along my way, but I did experience some pretty raw sewage after I'd joined the Royal Swedish Navy the day after I graduated from high school. I came to the same conclusion that you did that this lifetime is nothing more than individual illusions we're all living and making up as we go along, some illusions being shared by others which makes the illusion appear even more real because those other people are onside with each other in their individual perspectives.

swirlie · 31-35, F

@SandWitch
YOU are deep! You must have lived in a submarine for too long, did you?

SandWitch · 26-30, F

@swirlie
