Things I've learned.....

In my very short time on this planet (wink, wink), I've attained my fair share of knowledge. Not necessarily Neil Degrasse Tyson knowledge, but you know the shit that gets you through the day, with a smile. Some of it skewed to my POV, some it wise and some of it just plain fucking true. So you all know how much I love bullet points and lists, so here's what I've learned.

I've learned that no matter how many fucking times you lecture your kids, they are going to do whatever the fuck they want. You know why? Because they're related to YOU! 

I'ver learned that what people think about you is none of your fucking business. Seriously, there is more important shit in the world, keep it moving. 

I've learned that most people only remember the bad and have a difficult time recalling or even creating the good. 

I've learned that you cannot do the same shit at 20, that you can at 30 or that you can at 40. Notice how that progressed into a positive with no regrets there..take a lesson

I've learned that no matter what your faith, it blinds you to the truth. 

I've learned that there are always going to be skinny bitches and you are probably not one of them.  

I've learned that you should ALWAYS buy the shoes, ride the ride, say what's on your mind and never sweat the small stuff. Life is too short. 

I've learned that little kids are actually pretty fucking smart and make more sense that most adults I know. 

I've learned that discrimination runs about as rampant as any terminal disease and lasts about as long.

Ive learned that freedom isn't free. Thank you to all my military people. :)

 I've learned that ugliness has nothing to do with your physical appearance. Beauty fades and ugliness on the inside lasts a lifetime.

I've learned that everyone is born free, good and loving. It's walking around this planet that fucks your shit up. 

I've learned that I should have paid more attention to the stories my grandparents told. That was some valuable free advice and a roadmap from where I came. 

I've learned that just because you are a woman with a child does not make you a mother and just because you gave birth doesn't make you a mom.

I've learned that I have less patience for bullshit as I get older. LOL..imagine me with even less patience. 

I've learned that the people I thought would be in my life forever, didn't even make it to the halfway point.... their loss. 

I've learned (the absolute hard way) that just because you have a mouth, doesn't mean you always should feel the need to use it. 

I've learned that no matter how much you may be irritated by your family, you will miss them when they are gone. Family is the truest form of forced socialization, gotta love it. 

I've learned that whether or not you believe it, Karma believes in you. And the rumors are true! 

I've learned that no matter how hard you try, your shit is never going to look as good as it does on Pinterest. True story. 

I've learned that the "perfect" size is whatever mother fucking size I am wearing that day! 

I've learned that when there isn't any love left, most of the time, there wasn't ever any love.

I've learned that I may not be perfect, but I'm pretty fucking close.  ;) 

And last but not least, but absolute all time favorite thing in the world.....
I've learned that people may not remember what you said, or what you did but they will ALWAYS remember how you made them feel.
