Being 40 isn't really about looking back and regretting things. I feel compassion for my younger self, but he no longer exists. He held on to ideals that were false. My younger self believed in things like soul mates, true love, marriage, career, etc. But once I obtained all those things, I literally felt emptier than I had ever felt in my entire life. Being 40 is about letting go and about obtaining wisdom to help you through the world beyond this one. Regret has no place here.
Well i haven't made mistakes so far. I don't drink or smoke and was never interested in doing so. I don't sleep around. I just take care of my health, as body is my temple. This all stuff must seem boring currently but it will pay off when i am in my late 20's or early 30's. Drinking all night and partying around seems a waste of time. I would rather spend my time playing sports or in the gym. So i don't regret a moment in my life
There has to be a balance between caution and living life. You won't get preg or get aids if you are taking precautions and not just sleeping with every guy you meet. Use BC like a condom and the pill unless you are in a serious relationship. Then use the pill at least. But don't refuse to have fun (including sex) if you are being smart about it.
If you're not in a marriage someone better use the BC for real!! People brake up and left as Baby mommas and baby daddies.
Just get a baby when you feel you want him/her. And always be cautious because shit happens all the time
People make m, but the big mistake is their have someone loved them will to care for they keep or start look 👀 for Diamond 💍 they never leave a beautiful person because they say to old or young or not the right 👀.
We are told Princess story, and forget the love.
We try to make people around happy forget they shall happy in are found someone just to love.
In other words, thank God of Abraham you found to love and care for. You are thrown in the trash because you thank they're a reasonable story that happened in Hollywood.
Be thankful for God of Abraham's give you and keep it. It will look into precise Diamond
Life is not either/or. You can do both options but at different times. The hard part is knowing which time to do which options.
"On the other hand, what if life passes you by? What if you get to be forty or fifty, and realize your youth was wasted on things that didn't matter?"
You won't care about such things by then. There are plenty of things I haven't done and am proud of because I lived my life my way.
The two options are more like extremes. In some situations being overly cautious can cause problems just as not using any will do. Good sense and experience will guide you through most any journey!
Misery loves company. Don't trust the people telling you to make mistakes. Some mistakes are irreversible.
It really depends on how you define mistakes. If you’re talking about spilling milk that’s one thing but slipping and falling on someone’s dick and accidentally cheating on your boyfriend is another. One is a mistake, one is you making the choice to cheat on your boyfriend.
You can be cautious and still make mistakes. Aaand you can be cautious and not "waste" years on something you think might not matter, enjoying whatever you want to do.
So, live your life however you want, be happy, but always remember, that what you do now has or will have an effect on your life in the future one way or the other.
I had that topic yesterday with a friend of mine. He's upset that a so-called "friend" of his told him "it's okay with you flirt with my female friend" and suddenly that "friend" flirts with her himself 🙄 Like first he was cautious, but then that seemed to give others enough time to just rush into things and "steal" away what's been handled cautiously. In the end her same answer as always is "I just had to agree to being with that other guy" 🙄🙄🙄
I think you need to live and make mistakes but also think about things at least a little and as you get older and experience more you'll be able to make more reasoned decisions. You can't just go though life being afraid to make mistakes I don't think I think that would reduce the quality of life but I also don't think going through life just making reasoned decisions. I just think that they mix together and you just need to learn your balance. Hopefully that makes sense.
It depends on your strategy and the domain of said mistakes.
In a realm where the domain of said mistakes is small compared to the cost of the Caution required to avoid them. Then mistakes are preferable to the alternative.
You can be cautious and deliberate without living in fear and without missing out on great life experiences. You just have to take inventory of the essentials and approach every situation by asking "how" and not "why not?"
What's the maximum time, do you feel, that should be taken for any given issue?
There's no set amount of time. But a good rule of thumb is that you're taking too long when you start seconding guessing yourself on your answers to questions without any details about your situation changing.
For example; you're probably taking too long to decide whether to buy a new bike if you find yourself redebating whether you should sell your old bike for the 3rd time.
If a person never attaches themselves to love and desires, never shall their heart be broken. But, do they truly live? Id rather die, having loved and made mistakes, than be a man free from suffering and pain.
You're going to make mistakes no matter what you do. Living cautiously won't prevent that, and living "over cautiously" is a mistake in and of itself.
No matter how cautious you are your gonna make mistakes in life because that’s just life your not perfect your only human.
Best thing you can do is take those mistakes when they happen and learn from them.
We learn from our mistakes. If we don’t make mistakes, how do we learn? At the same time, do not make the same mistake again so you cautiously decide which is the better route to take not to.
Putting this here because you have that stupid pm setting in place:
I wanna start adding you on other social media. Get to know you. Start simpin.. all that good shit.
That cool with you?
Lol I don't really have social media (unless you count Pinterest).
Then can I message you? I think you have that setting.
"You can ride the roller coaster, just make sure your seatbelt is fastened!"
It is always better to say "I shouldn't have done that!" vs "I wish I would have..."
Everything within reason. Live as much as you can when you know you can live with the possible mistakes that might happen. Be cautious if the mistakes would be too much for you to handle.
