Random Snippets

A few lessons and observations, either by my experiences or as an observer of someone else's:

• Life isn't fair, and (spoiler alert) it never will be.  Make due with what you have and always strive to make it better.
• Kids these days aren't any better or worse than when you were a kid.  There were irritating little shits even in your Grandparents day, they just seem worse because you got older and crankier.  
• You could lament about how crappy music is today, but didn't our grandparents(or Great-Grandparents) feel the same way about The Beatles and Elvis?  
• If you were dating someone for more than a year and you have no pictures together, haven't met each other's family and friends, then you were never in a relationship.  Stop deluding yourself.  
• Ties in with the previous one.  Never think with your heart.  Your heart is noble but profoundly stupid.  
• Don't complain too much about what you don't have, because there are people in the world who would give anything to have what you do have right now.
• The people that matter always find a way of coming back, even after bridges are burned and things seem irreparable.  If they don't, then you are both better off without each other.
• You are the owner and sole proprietor of your happiness.  If you aren't happy it's your problem and responsibility to do something about it.  Don't expect anyone else to do it for you.  
• Why can you get a burger for a little over a buck at just about any fast food place you pass on the highway but salads are much more?   I love a burger as much as the next guy but they should make healthy food at least as accessible as junk food.  
• We worry too much about the people who shouldn't matter and we tend to neglect that people that do.
• Nostalgia breeds regret, overplanning for the future breeds disappointment.   Just live life moment to moment and keep a plan B handy incase you need it.
• When all is said and done, your best friend is you.   Don't shortchange yourself for anyone's benefit.
