What have you learned?

homoe · 09-15-2016, 08:24 PM

It APPEARS that I've learned a lot about chicken and eggs

Blade · 09-19-2016, 02:12 PM

I've learned if it don't feel right don't do it. If it feels right go for it!

CherryWine · 09-19-2016, 05:18 PM

I've learned that facing your fears is never an easy thing to do. However, when you find the courage to face them, and then you win....well, that's truly one of the best feelings in the world.

Gayandgray · 09-19-2016, 05:34 PM

I have learned that you can't help people that aren't willing to help themselves.

Degotoga · 09-19-2016, 06:09 PM

Just about the time I think I'm ready to jump out there and start dating again, I see someone (or several someone's, as the case may be) do some dishonorable, self-serving shit to someone they supposedly love and it baffles the hell out of me. I've learned that apparently my views on dating and relationships are too old-fashioned for today's dating game. What ever happened to protecting the people you love and defending their honor, especially in their absence?

I just learned that the sound of (Medusa playing) bagpipes makes tiny dogs cry.

Orema · 12-17-2016, 02:58 PM

I've learned if I hang around with people who don't believe in me, soon enough I'll stop believing in myself.

I've also learned that people who don't believe in themselves can't believe in me either.

FireSignFemme · 12-17-2016, 06:38 PM

I’ve learned some people aren’t really asking for help, what they actually want is a chance to shoot down all suggestions.

I’ve learned people looking for perfection in a partner, rarely make good partners themselves.

I’ve learned those who blame child abuse for mistakes they continue to make as adults really need to grow up.

I’ve learned the more I avoid abusive people the less often I find myself having to ask myself – Am I forgiving enough?

Blade · 12-18-2016, 10:10 AM

Never turn your back on a chicken. Believe me this does require thinking harder and not being complacent with the idea that chickens are "bird brains" lol

legally_b10nde · 12-18-2016, 07:46 PM

I have learned that a banana and Nutella is YUM!

I have learned to trust my gut instincts in certain cases.

I over think way too much as well.

Gayandgray · 01-05-2017, 08:41 PM

I have learned that I deserve to be happy.

Chad · 01-06-2017, 12:30 PM

Drinking wine in the evening gives me weird dreams and I wake up a lot. Yucky.

Teddybear · 01-28-2017, 09:41 PM

I have learned that no matter how much you want something with another if they aren't there they ARE NOT there. Walk away.

Sometimes you just have to remember what you had and live with that and know that they is someone out there for you.

Loving someone is never wrong maybe just the wrong time in your life.

easygoingfemme · 01-28-2017, 09:47 PM

I'm learning to be better and more quick at trusting my gut and taking action in the way it directs me.
