That I am under no obligation to fill every pause,
silence or gap, I do not have to appoint myself entertainer, soother, diplomat and conversational tour guide all the time and its quite alright to let others fill those pauses and put a little effort in and that does not make me a bad person. PS: This is a real time person to person observation not relating to interactions here on the Planet...just thought I should clarify !

That being in the moment is much more enjoyable than fretting about the future.

So true!!!! I'm learning this as well!

Gemme 06-28-2017 12:46 PM

I'm working on having faith and not second guessing things.

Weird huh, 'cause I love breaded mushrooms and devil's food cake. Just not canned mushrooms or the standard chocolate cake from store.

Good dialog. Getting to know you...
:flowers::flowers:

FYI it's called living together.

Penelope 07-01-2017 08:41 PM

But we haven't been living together for 9 years, only dating. We have been living together for 7.5 or so. :rolleyes: ;)

I know you know what you mean and I love that about you!

Happiness is about a delicate balance of giving and taking, independence and interdependence, holding on and letting go. It doesn't come solely from within oneself, even though the foundation of true happiness must commence from within.

We can pretend all day long that we don't need others and don't care what other people think, but the truth is we all need people in our lives who validate us. We must make sure to seek validation from the right people, though...our loved ones, those we know on a personal, deep level...those who have our best interests at heart. And we must provide the same to them in return.

girl_dee 07-31-2017 08:55 AM

That doing the same thing and expecting different results is never going to work.

Bèsame* 07-31-2017 09:09 AM

there are two sides to every story...

2qt 07-31-2017 09:09 AM

I have learned no matter how much you put in it won't always make a difference.... That it's okay to say no once in a while.... Text can be easily misread.... That giving a part of me to someone doesn't give them the right to own every part of me... That I am okay being me & if that isn't enough then they're not enough for me... That strength doesn't come from muscles it comes from the mind... If your mind is weak all of you is....

BullDog 07-31-2017 10:59 AM

To stay true to Myself. To give my energy, attention and love to those who genuinely care about me and value me as a person and ignore the noise.

JDeere 07-31-2017 08:11 PM

That my list for what I want and don't want in my next relationship or dating, has changed.

hopelessromantic69 07-31-2017 08:19 PM

That I can't change a tire in 15 minutes anymore. It took 20 minutes yesterday! I'm getting old lol!

Esme nha Maire 08-06-2017 05:28 PM

This last few months, I have been learning that there are more ways to be than I ever dreamt of, and that education is helping me understand myself better, and feel more comfortable in my own skin and amongst other humans. This is wonderful.

Shystonefem 08-06-2017 07:22 PM

I learned the most important lesson you could learn. You do you first. Everyone needs something but you cannot be everything to everyone when you are not running on a full tank.

I am sick yet people still look to me for help. I have nothing to give them because all my energies are focused on me. I kind of like it that way.

JDeere 08-06-2017 08:21 PM

I procrastinate way too much!

Tuff Stuff 08-07-2017 08:43 PM

Still learning that one...
 
If you look into the face of evil, evils going to look back at you.

No sh$t!

2qt 08-08-2017 07:20 AM

That ebay is both addictive & dangerous....Cherry flavoured ice cream is really gross....When you open a bar of chocolate you can't just stop at one piece...

kittygrrl 08-08-2017 09:28 AM

if it's not broke, don't fix it

clay 08-08-2017 10:36 AM


Life is filled with challenges. Sometimes you think you have it all figured out, then suddenly, you really don't.

One has to be willing to bend a little & accept things/people at face value.

JDeere 08-08-2017 02:57 PM

That some people are rude as hell and should know better then to do what they do.

girl_dee 08-08-2017 03:49 PM

that i get to choose who i want to spend time with, and who i don't. (this was just a reminder of something i already learned)

CherryWine 08-13-2017 02:41 PM

There will always be people who don't like you, and unless you're just trying to be unlikeable, it won't have a thing to do with you.

If you're good at what you do, you will have lots of people who don't like you. Obviously, those aren't your people.

Gayandgray 08-19-2017 11:45 AM

That even though I paid to have my astrology chart done years ago and it said I was a true Cancer, I'm realizing I have an awful lot of Gemini traits too..... Wondering if there is any truth to that being born "on the cusp" stuff?:confused::confused::confused:

homoe 08-19-2017 11:46 AM

To ALWAYS trust my gut feeling.:hangloose:

hopelessromantic69 08-19-2017 12:35 PM

To listen better and keep my mouth shut!

gotoseagrl 08-19-2017 12:49 PM

That finding contentment with waiting for what is coming truly pays off.

AMEN.......if ONLY I could learn this:blink:

girl_dee 08-27-2017 04:49 AM

That i can be myself, and it still be okay.

2qt 08-27-2017 06:17 AM

I have learned that you can't educate ignorance....
I have learned that hate is not what we are born to do but what we have learned to do.....
I have learned that letting go free's our mind from the things that weigh it down...

kittygrrl 02-22-2018 10:56 PM

i've learned it's better to be wise, then beautiful

~ocean 02-23-2018 12:00 AM

Actions speak louder than words ~ :)

Blade 03-06-2018 06:04 PM

Pertaining to the work place, I've learned the more you do the more they expect you to do

kittygrrl 03-12-2018 07:23 PM

to listen to the still small voice..

TL1 03-12-2018 08:24 PM

To sync my mind and heart


The heart just likes to fly off on its own sometimes leaving my mind way back there somewhere.

So now they work together... team work!

BullDog 05-09-2018 03:32 PM

Well I Have Always Known This But In The Moment Of Truth It Is Always This
 
I can never be anyone but Me. Yes, I need to constantly strive to be better, to learn from my mistakes, and to admit when I am wrong (even if it sometimes takes me years to finally realize it). I blaze with an intensity that exhausts me sometimes and makes me misunderstood by others quite often, but I can truly only be Me - flaws and all- and feel everything with every fiber of my being and never, ever give that up.
