The biggest lesson I have learned is that when something seems to good to be true, it probably is. This is not to say that one should live or love with caution but to be aware. When things move faster then they should, its probably for a hidden agenda. This is ok, this is part of the learning process. So often as humans we roll through life on auto-pilot, continuing on with the motions never really giving any time to process. Someone once told me, if you are living for your perceived future and dwelling in the past, when are you actually here? Its a very interesting time, the time in which you live in the moment, a moment you will never have again.
Timing also has something to do with it. Timing works with you, goes against you but the best part about it is that you can always change it. Take it on, try harder and be better. Life throws you curve balls, to remind you of your pulse to show you that your blood is still alive, still moving. There is no reason to rush it, to live in pretend, life doesn't care about what you perceive as your own lies or rather your own truth. It resurfaces you always trying to bring you back to the true reality. It makes you smarter and more aware, take this on as a time for your personal journey. Live in slight caution but always take risks, understand the risks and change and adapt to them.
I don't care about the crazy of others, eventually you learn to close the door behind you and continue on. Always keep your head up and realise whom you want in your life verse those that are too unaware and hurtful. It has nothing to do with you, its part of your beautiful journey. Another quote I always hear is that everything happens for a reason. Its so simple and true and that's a small part of the meaning of life.
So jump, be slightly careless and always give gratitude to all the bad that happens because there is beauty in being resilient and learning from mistakes whether or not they are yours or from someone else. This is also a part of true happiness, something only you can find for yourself.
