What’s something everyone learns too late in life?

That nobody’s coming to save you. Not the government, not your boss, not your parents. Once that clicks, you either start building your own shit or you stay stuck waiting

that time is the most valuable currency we have, and wasting it on stuff that doesn't matter really hits hard later on.

To just slow the f down. We’re pushed so hard to keep reaching for the next best thing and forget to actually enjoy where we’re at in life

That it isn't just unfair - it's deliberately stacked against you.

If you allow people to take advantage of you, many will, because not everyone respects boundaries unless they’re clearly set.

Being in love is not always forever.

That you don't have to keep toxic/detrimental people in your life, regardless of who they are or how long you've known them. You're allowed to cut the rope and let them fall away.

That the systems in place in our society that we have paid taxes for are there just to do terrible things to us. Like police departments we can't call for help, but instead go around threatening and harassing tax payers.

You should've told more assholes to fvck off.

Life is too short. No matter how old you are when you die, life always ends too soon.

That the present is only appreciated when it becomes a distant past and ‘there is no time like now’ hits different when time flies in the blink of an eye

You are the master of your own destiny…. Don’t give the brush to others…. No one’s gonna paint your dreams for you. NOT YOUR BROTHER, FRIENDS OF DECADES, your parents, NOOOO ONE !

That time with the people you love is limited and you don’t get it back.

That time is way more valuable than money you can always earn more, but you can’t get time back.

Your idea of nationalism is fabricated to keep you distracted and is a form of control. It's an easy trigger word to draw your attention away. What people need to come to grips with is "you are not a .........." But you happen to by circumstance and chance live in and be from........... No person is characteristic of their race , religion , nationality etc... There are indeed problematic individuals across all societal segments. However, at times, it serves the broader population to obscure the fact that some specific individuals, rather than everyone, pose a threat. Ultimately you are on your own and the sooner you accept that the less it will drag you down when people leave The concept of family is broad and intricate. It transcends conventional definitions, including individuals one considers family, regardless of societal norms or expectations.

that not everyone you care about will stay in your life, no matter how much you want them to

we only get 1 pair of good knees

Marriage isn’t always as great as it seems.

Giving sleep as priority

Trusting people

You are allowed to makes choices that make you happy even if it doesn't make others happy.

health matters most

Honesty and patience are hard to come by, which is why it’s so necessary. Keep your eyes open, listen and watch more than you talk.

That "work hard, be humble" is just code to keep people poor and "noble" while living in poverty and think they're the "good" people. When in reality they're just brainwashed sheep.

I’ve seen this question get asked like 10 times the past 2 days

Who Keeps reposting things questions again and again?

The most valuable things in life don’t cost a thing

Enjoying life

something easily gained is just as easily lost
