adulting can be lonely. if you're not actively creating the life you want, you will end up doing nothing. life will not come to you. you need to make plans, stick to them, get up and execute.

when someone says that you've hurt them, do not defend, justify or make it about you. pause. listen. reflect. feelings are truth, whether you agree or not to the reasons.

before you lose patience with your aging parents, remember how patient they were with you when you were an infant & toddler. the switcheroo is deep, when the child becomes the carer.

people who lack empathy are so destructive! they will hurt you, over & over again, and not have a clue about why you're upset. to top it off, they'll defend their behaviour. once you've identified who they are; avoid, avoid, avoid!
