Some things I’ve learned/am learning:
• 99% of things aren’t about you.
• Only you can complete you.
• Let people enjoy things.
• Kindness is imperative.
• Actions > words.
• Stop, look, & listen.
• Love others. You’ll grow.
• Laugh like it’s your job.
• Never stop learning.

@adhdeanasl I love this. Curious what you mean by "Let ppl enjoy things". Because I have my own takeaway but not sure it's what you mean

@allsameboat We try too often to be the monitors of what’s valuable. I’ve lost count of how many statements I’ve heard/read belittling others for their taste in music, art, film, etc. It’s why the term “guilty pleasure” exists.

I think of it as "Don't yuck on other people's yum."

*You* don't have to enjoy it, or even care about it one way or another, and you certainly don't need to police the likes/actions of other adults fully capable of making their own choices - just let people enjoy what makes them happy.

(And if you're actually making someone feel guilty or ashamed about it, you're not a very nice human bean.)

But of course, this goes back to #1 - 99% of things aren't about you. 😄
