    Yeah, you should totally let someone being married stop you. If you truly respect someone, you respect their relationship. If someone comes to you with problems of their relationship you help them as a friend, if they want to be more then that then you need to let them know you won’t be with them unless their single.

    The worst people in the world are cheaters. Nobody who truly loves somebody cheats on them, and nobody who truly respects someone allows them to cheat with you. No matter what anyone ever says that will always be true. There is no excuse, no matter what, It’s wrong. There is no justification for hurting other people that way. If they are a bad partner it’s entirely on you for not ending the relationship before engaging with another.

    Oooo! Thought of another one:

    "It's not always what you say, but how you say it."

    This bit of wisdom is about expressing one's opinion. It can make all the difference between a simple, respectful disagreement, one expected of an adult... Or coming across as a rude, selfish, childish nuisance.
    Which is tiresome to see time and time again, in a fandom supposedly made of mostly older folk...

    If you love someone you don’t hurt them that way. It just shows that you value your own feelings more then the feelings and the relationship of the person your with. Nobody who truly loves someone fucks someone else. It just makes you a decietful, disloyal, and selfish asshole. Life is unfair and confusing to everyone, but it’s up to you to do what you feel is right throughout it. No relationship is perfect, but there is no justification for cheating.

    learn the difference between apologizing to clear your own conscious and apologizing because you legitimately realize what you did was wrong or hurt someone

    you're not owed the right to anybody's affection

    Believe that all you want, there are people out there who would never cheat on anyone and I’m one of them. I don’t care if someone’s begging me for it. I’m loyal to people I love. I’ve experienced my fair share of pain in my life and one of the worst things I fear is the pain of being cheated on by someone who I love, and I could never bring myself to enact that pain on someone else. Not because I try to be better then that, but because I care about the people close to me
    and how they feel as much as I do myself.

    My GF is not an item requiring purchase, is in fact a legal citizen of the U.S. (though she's been living in Guatemala for a while bc her family dragged her there) and unmarried, but thanks.

    But I guess it HAS been difficult pulling strings and putting irons in the fire to get her back over here safely and away from her evil psycho parents with no money at my disposal, so, like, that keeps with the general theme of your whole "nothing worth the effort is easy" theme.

    I am!!! She's coming to live w/ me in january and we're both super duper excited, but nervous about something potentially going wrong in the process (her parents are literally, like, deranged and unpredictable, and all of this feels sort of like a scene in a movie where people are trying to make it across thin ice over deep water).

    8ut!!!!!!!! Mostly we're excited. I've got a gift picked out for her, and so does my best friend, and we're doing our best to pave the way for things to run smoothly, and I can't w8 to see her! She told me to wear flats so she can reach high enough to kiss me when we meet.

    Don't waste your time and money trying to impress other people...impress yourself instead...the rest will follow. And if they don't, who cares!

    Don't do anything you KNOW you will regret later.

    Don't drag yourself down about things you can't change. It is pointless and fruitless.

    If you expect the unexpected, doesn't it become the expected?



    A good piece of wisdom that came up in another thread (and is sort of related to the post above) is to not underestimate how much there is you do not know. You can read up on a subject or skill, even take courses on it or practice it for years, and still not realize just how much there is that you still need to learn, and just how much work and learning the 'masters' in that field have put into it. The body of knowledge, even for a very specific thing, can be absolutely huge, and far more complicated than it appears for even an initiated novice. It's a very humbling realization.

    Never bet against UCF. Because when you do, they finish undefeated, beat the team that defeated the two teams playing in the SEC CG II, and end up winning a share of the National Title.

    "Look both ways before crossing a street."

    This is not a joke post. Too many times I see people just walk all "herp-dad-derp" right into a street, OR they don't look up from their damn cell phones. It is WISE to be aware of your surroundings, especially when you decide to cross a path designed for fast moving machinery which cannot stop instantly and can KILL YOU if you get in its path.

    Hesitation means no.

    Follow your highest excitement.

    When you can't decide on something, flip a coin. The outcome doesn't matter, but hopefully you'll want one outcome more than the other, and your decision will be made.(poorly explained, search sigmeund freud and coins flipping on the internet for a better idea)


    BTW, anyone know where that is from?( first 2)

    While it's true that you don't get to pick your family that doesn't mean you have to put up with them. It's perfectly acceptable to remove them from your life if they become a cancer.

    The moment you let your emotions control your actions over logical thinking is the moment you lose the battle.

    EDIT: Also in light of recent "events": Don't make stupid people famous.
