What are some of the dark lessons that life taught you?

Never tell people 100%, tell them 70% about yourself, and 30% should be hidden.

Anyone you love can die. Any time. Cherish them.

Fairness is unnatural. Nothing is 100% fair.

Live life the way you want to live it. Because even people who care for you can’t be with you every step of the way.


People only want to hear the good, not the bad. So if you have issues, it’ll be hard to find people to confide in.

Respect yourself, because people can see if you don’t.

Everyone has a mask and they play different ones to different people. Lovers, families, coworkers…you’ll be surprised how different people can be in different social contexts.

Some people are evil for the sake of it. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT IF YOU END UP IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PERSON. GET OUT OF IT.

It doesn’t matter how good your grades are, because grades aren’t everything and people pay more attention to your social skills. Grades only take you halfway.

Once you hurt someone, they’re not likely to forget. They will always remember how much you’ve hurt them. One negligible action can have devastating consequences.

Appearances DO matter. We live in a condemnatory, judgmental world. Your family, friends, coworkers, bosses will judge you for your actions to some extent. Which brings me to

It is impossible to please everyone. There will ALWAYS be someone who disagrees with you, and frankly, you’re not living life if you don’t have enemies. Better be someone with your own thoughts and opinions than a people pleaser.
