Life lessons that took you too long to figure out

What are some life lessons that you know you should've BEEN learned?
For me, it was
I kept my word to other people but didn't keep my word to myself
Not everybody is worth helping
When someone shows you who they are, that's who they are
And most importantly
Don't expect the same loyalty from others as you give them

 

Don’t talk a lot

if ppl say you are quiet accept it

when you are young ppl will bait you by trying to deem you shy, like being quiet is a bad thing, shyt is cap, especially from hoes, they just want you to move how they want you to move, fukk that

 

True


I forgot to add,
When you're working to better yourself, keep it to yourself

 

facts, most nikkas will take this as a threat if they don’t understand where you are coming from

most women too, but their reaction will differ; instead of directly resenting you, they will passively ignore or resent any progress you make because you won’t be the same person that once got them.

Seen it all too many times

 

Don't try to people please or impress people

Don't keep up with the Jones

Focus on what you want stay positive, you create your reality.

Stop making excuses.

Stop caring about what people think.

You live this life for yourself.

People do things for themselves first.

It took me about 23 years to learn these things.

 

You can’t give a woman what she wants because she has no idea what she wants

 

Try not to use your credit card if you know you can’t pay it off

had to learn this shyt the hard way recently

 

Your own blood can be the biggest haters on that crabs in a pot shyt.

The only people who give a fukk about you is you.

There are people out here that ain't shyt and know it but won't do shyt to change.

 

Stacking bread and investing for sure. We used to hustle weed and CDs real heavy back in the day and I also used to stay having jobs. I spent money and soon as I got it on a bunch of worthless shyt. Used to max out credit cards and pay the minimum each month. Didn’t really get my shyt together until after I turned 25

 

All skin folk ain't kinfolk. Lotta c00ns and bedwenches outside of where I grew up.

 

Sometimes you have to make decisions that are best for you in your life instead of listening to what other people want or think you should do.

Anybody can tell you what they want or think you should do, but they don't always have to deal with the consequences or repercussions of those actions.

 

Don't overcompensate or over compromise. That's a quick way to get taken advantage of.

 

If a woman is always telling you her problems, everything going wrong in her life, always with the negative energy ... bounce.

 

I had to throw a chick to the bushes earlier this year because all she did was whined and complained about her problems all the damn time. It got to the point where the sex wasn't even worth the headache lol.
