alright, advice.

i'm not a person who necessarily has wise individuals feeding me advice whenever i need it. i think to give a person meaningful advice is really a challenge. when someone's going through a situation that requires such guidance, one can only say the things that they think they would probably like to hear if they were in that persons shoes. but it's really hard to know what someone wants to hear. i'm not a person that goes seeking advice regularly. i don't share my problems with many people, and frankly i doubt that many would be able to give me advice that i would appreciate. i'm so stuck on this notion that i can't remember the last time i asked someone for advice, maybe i'm afraid of what people might say, or maybe i'm just right. nevertheless, there is basic advice, typically from people who aren't familiar with my own personal situations that i tend to follow in life. some of it is not so much advice as just things i have heard that have made me say, "yeah, that's right, that's how i live".

"It's like all of the bad stuff that you went through that you hated along the way: the people who disappointed you, the things that didn't go the way you wanted; suddenly, you feel grateful for them, because those are the things that got you to here, to this."
-the perfect man (movie)

"You don't what you've got 'till it's gone"
-tupac. (shh..)

"Never regret, because what you regret was once exactly what you wanted"
-anonymous

"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for what I am not"
-Kurt Cobain

"If the past never was, and the future never is, what are we left with? Just this"
-??

I don't know. I'm not a very advice-y person. but this is just some stuff that i live by, hence advice, right?
