Hello friends and beautiful acquaintances... I've been feeling very existential lately, so let's help each other out by exchanging some wisdoms:
The best bits of advice I've ever received are the below:
From my maternal uncle who's been like a father to me at times 'always be the adult in every situation' - i.e. maintain your maturity and civility regardless of how someone treats you, or how they behave.
'Laziness is a privilege' because it means you can always rely on other people to do your dirty work from you. A smart Honours student told me that.
'Nostalgia is a lie. Nothing ever felt as good as how you remember it'. Some rando on the internet.
Watcha got?
I'm not sure if this constitutes as advice but I just finished 'The 100 Years of Lenni and Margot' (10/10 would recomment) and there's this quote and I think it hit me because a very dear friend of mine passed away very suddenly last week. The quote is 'When you get to Heaven, give 'em hell.' Now, I'm a Christian and I knew my friend very well and I can picture her causing havoc. In fact, when I was at work today, I was picturing her getting annoyed with God and doing Her paperwork. I know that seems silly but it made me feel better.
But that aside, I think there's something there for everyone whether you're a Christian or not.
