Life Lessons the Hard Way
Why does it seem like all the important lessons in life, the ones that make you a better person that is, must be learned the hard way? Thinking back on my life I can’t think of a single life lesson that I just heard and learned from, no… I have to experience the pain to learn the lesson. Perhaps its just human nature or maybe I have lower than average people skills. Either way it sucks.
The lesson this time, I’m far too trusting of people. I actually can’t say that ever in my life I’ve been screwed quite the way I’ve just been screwed by someone I genuinely like. I’ll chose not to elaborate any more than that but the takeaway from this lesson: be very careful who you place your trust in, especially when you’ve just met them randomly. Furthermore, listen to your friends, your true friends; they really do know what’s best sometimes wether you want to believe it or not at the time.
And there you have it, your personal post for the month. Stay tuned for more posts that are (hopefully) less boring than my ramblings about my personal life.
That sounds awful. I know what you mean, though. “Can’t we just skip the pain and get to the epiphany?”
