8 rules I live by:
- Never regret something you do.
I think that when you do something, you do it for a reason. You have t always own up to what you do, no matter how bad or hurtful it is. You can’t always take back the things you say or do. I may not always think about the stuff I do or say but I always know that I did what I did and said what I said with a purpose. I tend not to say sorry because if I did, then I’d be lying. I mean, I could do things out of line at points, and say mean and hurtful things, but honestly I do mean 99.9% of the things I say.
- Don’t rely on others so much.
I tend to think, why ask someone to do something when you can do it on your own. As a person, you’re not always gunna have someone to help you out every time you’re in trouble. So you need to learn how to take care of things, on your own. This doesn’t mean give up on others, but just try not to count on having them there 24/7.
- No matter what, try not to give up
Things will always get hard. That’s just how life is. Giving up is the hardest thing not to do. Some people tend to think, well I can never complete this and there is no point to even trying; well that’s how I try not to see things. In some situations, you have to give up but I always try to try my darn best to work things out.
- Family always comes first
Family to me is the most important thing to me. It means more to me than anything I could want in the world. There people I would never trade for the world. I’m always there for them as they are always here for me. No matter where we’re at, we will always have each other. I respect every single one of my family members, and if anyone of them needed help, I would be there for them in a heartbeat. There is no one else or group of people that mean more to me then them.
- Don’t let anyone, know your true feelings
When I say this, I think about getting hurt. I think if you let someone in and they get to know you well enough and let them know your true heartfelt feelings, then you’re bound to get hurt. That’s the only way I can ever see getting hurt in the most hurtful way. I don’t trust many people because I don’t think that everyone is 100% real. I’ve met some really hurtful people and at the time I didn’t know that but I let them know how I truly felt. The next thing I know, feelings were hurt, friends were lost, and tears were shed. So I never under any circumstances let anyone know what I really am feeling.
- Don’t think so much about the past, and think more about the future.
The past is the past, move on. Yes, thinking about great memories is fine but all the bad stuff and hurtful things just get over it. If you think too much about the past then I don’t think you can truly live a good, fun life. You can make your future how you want it to be. Don’t make a repeat of the mistakes you made, and a great way not to do that is to just think about how great you want things to go for you. I just say, let go and move on!
- Don’t cry over the stupid stuff so try and laugh it off
Crying sucks. Try not to do it. When you can, just things about the better things in your life and don’t worry about the small stupid stuff. You will go into the future and think about that it wasn’t so much to worry about so don’t waste your time now.
- Live everyday like it’s your last
You only live one life. Might as well make the best of it. Do things you wouldn’t normally do. You can’t live life in regret. If you don’t do what you want now, you won’t be able to do it later. Just do what makes you happy, even it if it breaks the rules! ;)
