That when one thing goes wrong the whole world seems to be against you.

I've leared, recently too! that some people in life jsut aren't worth the effort. Now that doesnt go for everyone...but you can try and try and try to be nice to someone - and it just never seems to please them.

Also - a friend told me tonight -
people that matter 'dont mind' and those that 'do mind' dont matter - applying to a situation where im really worried about what people will think of me! ",

Email  

lol i quite like that. ^

i came across this rather wise saying whilst looking up a quote -

"One hell on earth is almost inexpungible: The fury of a female who finds herself fungible."

Laura

I would say to you dont mind what other people think of you, because they do not have to live with the things you decide.

Be happy and pop in and see us soon for a coffee!

Learning, that no matter where you go - you're bound to encounter a bully!

Email  

i have learned thats its sometimes well alot of the time really hard to keep saying no but sometimes you just have to stand your ground if you know its for the best x

Hi

Have learned not to judge anyone without trying to really understand where they are coming from - because things are quite often not as they seem on the surface.

Also learned this week that not only does falling head first into a bunket hurt, but it's absolutely no fun at all unless people see it happen, laugh a lot but flock around in sympathy. When they don't even notice you're just a sad case with a mouthfull of sand!

Nb - learning to say no and then keeping saying nop is probably the hardest thing we ever learn to do, but it does change your life dramatically for the better. We all have a right to choose our destiny.
Ail

o hey i forgot about this one! er let me think what else have i learned ?

iv learned that the more trust/faith you show in someone the more likely they are to live up to that, and the less you show the less they will care about whether you trust them or not and so will more likely lie/let you down.

of course some people will always be honest or dishonest regardless but generally speaking iv found the above to be true

Email  

I've learned that i seem to be condemned to a life full of bad luck! But with that I've learned (the control freak that i am) that i can't control everything and that sometimes life throws things at you that there is very little you can do about.

Email  

I've learned to stop waiting. I'm not sure what i'm waiting on, but i've learned to stop.

Email  

I have learned to forgive. Not to say its ok, nor to say I'll forget. But to release the past and move into the future.

But forgiveness is an ongoing process - I'll be forgiving all of my days I think!

I miss you guys x

I've learnt that it's time to make some changes. I've also learnt that i have a real issue with people being fake or any sort of fake relationship. I've not learnt why yet though lol

Email  

we all miss you too laura, though im not sure who you are iv been assured that i do know you lol

i have learned, to finger pick my guitar!

i tried years ago to learn and got no where, now iv been playing about 7 months and am rocking, so stick at something and practice like mad and you CAN do it! unless you cant? well i can anyway lol

Email  

I might say that this is more like "I'm trying to learn" rather than "I have learned..." because I don't claim to have really internalized it yet.

So, I'm trying to learn that apologising/reconciling with someone is not about being "right" or "wrong" but about valuing the relationship more than my own ego.

Email  

I have just come back from Rwanda and the message of forgiveness and reconcilliation is so powerful there. Im learning just as you are Steph, that its an ongoing process and isn't about saying who's right or wrong - its about letting go!

K-dog...Its been over a year since I was in properly. And even then, I suspect I only ever met you the once, and in passing!

I have learned to appreciate the wonderful people in my life and accept that though l don't often say it, I know that am blessed with being surrounded by my clever and beautiful children, amazing, beautiful grandchildren, talented and caring work colleagues, loving friends and the many courageous survivors I meet daily.
And Laura, it's been too long and i am waiting to hear about your travels and adventures.

I have learned that spending some quality time to ur self is relaxing and puts you in the right mind set to realise how good we have it, or what can be done to do something different in your life for the better.

I recommend whoever reads this that they should just lay on the grass for an hour or two when ur free, have a coke and a smile. Give time to reflect on what you have done recently that makes you feel good about yourself, and realise the good from the people in ur life.

I've learned that:
- pretty much every adult in life will let me down, and enjoy it.
- there really is no point in going on, dragging life out.
- it's literally me against the world.
- everything that's messing me up has been my fault.

Email  

Hi, I'm Katy and I work for Eighteen And Under. They sound like pretty harsh lessons. I don't agree with them all though. I agree that quite possibly every adult you know will let you down (some worse than others), and you'll probably let people down at some point too. It's purely and simply because people are only human. People will make mistakes, or do something out of character etc and you will feel let down. But very few adults will enjoy letting anyone down, well any decent adults anyway. And as for you against the world, isn't everyone to some degree? It's much better if you have people you care about around you and people who care about you too though. People you can rely on, trust, ask advice, and ask for help. I don't agree at all that everything that has gone wrong has been your fault. Life can be good but mostly in order for it to be good, you need to deal with whatever is making you feel like there is no point in going on. Have you tried talking to someone about why you feel like this? Seems to me that you don't have anything to lose and you might even gain something. If you want to talk to me then my email is at the bottom as are the other worker's posts. Take care. Katy.
