lessons.
i learned a lot of shit in city year and by participating in my art of living course and hanging out with those awesome ppl. here are some lessons i need to keep in mind.
1. you’re not gonna be friends with everybody.
just deal with it. its gonna be ok. make sure you have someone you can depend on, but not everyone on my team needs to be my bff.
2. have self-awareness.
watching what i say and how i say it. some shit i don’t need to say, at all. sometimes its just better to keep quiet.
3. if you have a problem, speak up.
we don’t want that to happen again. some things can easily be sorted out by just expressing how i feel.
4. trust less.
i tend to trust people too quickly. partially because i want everyone to be my friend and because i’m not self-aware. some people just can’t be trusted.
5. give 100%
when you do, this makes everything easier. it also keeps your mind clear while doing that task.
6. don’t worry so damn much.
i freak the fuck out about the craziest shit. if it happens, just calm me down and give me something productive to do. i’ll eventually say i was trippin and get over it.
7. accept people and situations as they are.
some people IRK MY SOUL. but i need to accept that they are always gonna irk my soul. i can’t change them, so i tell them to take the course.
8. trust and believe in your true friends.
this sounds like a contradiction, but if you know someone has ur back, trust that in all situations. they’re not gonna let you fall. just like you’re not gonna let them fall.
