Thursdays Words of Wisdom

You know how some people come into your life and they change it completely?

and then other people come into your life and barely make a blip on your radar screen?

Well, I wanna be a "change" kind of person for my friends.

It doesn't happen to me very often, but when it does, WOW.

I've met a handful of people in my life who I feel "at home" with...

like I've known them my whole life..

like we have a deep connection.

I like to have a "connection" to people, and when I feel that connection, I tend to run with it.

I've learned to trust my instincts. They've never steered me wrong yet.

A friend told me the other day to "always go with your heart in matters of love and go with your head in matters of work".

Wellllllllllll............

I followed my HEAD where I should have followed my HEART, but you know what?

It's ok.

Cuz I've learned some valuable things about myself in the process.

1. Red Flags are there for a reason. that "feeling" in your gut that tells you something "just isn't right" is there for a reason. Listen to it.

2. You should listen to your friends when they tell you to "run like the wind" from a situation. they can see things you can't.

3. That I don't need to "settle" for something that so clearly isn't good for me just to feel like a whole person, a new person, the person I used to be so many many years ago. I can be that person all on my own, without any help form someone else.

4. Even if things don't work out, good can still come out of any situation.

5. Once your heart heals a little bit, things start to look better. and you can see people for who they REALLY are, not what you WANT them to be.

6. No one person can "save" you. that's a lot of responsibility to lay on one person..especially if they can't even save themselves.

7. If you love someone, you have to let them know. Regardless if they love you back or not. Sure, it hurts to hear,"I don't feel the same way"...but to live with regrets would hurt alot more.

8. If someone tells you repeatedly that they are an asshole...you should believe them. Cuz you are in for a rude awakening if you don't.

9. A Leopard never changes his spots. You are not so special that you can make that leopard change and be a tiger. aint gonna happen. Especially if that leopard is old...and cranky...

10. and if the box of hair dye says it's "semi-permanent" and will wash out in 28 shampoos...don't believe it. And no matter how many times a day you wash your hair with dandruff shampoo mixed with baking soda...that shit aint comin out. you just have to have patience.


So there....those are my words of wisdom for today. Take what you can use and throw the rest away.
