Comment preview: I have an odd view of intimate relationships. In general, I feel that people come into and exit from your life so that you can learn from them. Learn things about yourself, learn things about that person, and learn things together that you didn't know be ....

Comment preview: Hi theawakened123 it seems like a lot of people here can't relate to your experiences and giving some rather disrespectful comments. I can completely relate and I understand the feeling of being between two worlds - I'm also in that place :). > I get ca ....

Comment preview: As a former preschool teacher, I can say there are a few things that I wish all the parents knew. 1) You are not raising a child. You are raising an adult. Your child is born knowing how to be childish. You are teaching them how to be a good, mature, moral ....

Comment preview: Doubly appropriate since the first time you saw your favorite movie, odds are you didn't know that it would be your favorite movie. You may even have walked away from it saying it was pretty good, but not the best you've ever seen. Then you watch it again, ....

Comment preview: Car ils sont ma vie! und jetzt ich lerne Deutch! (Cause they're my life! I studied Japanese on my own and now I'm learning German). I just find them fascinating and so beautifully human. I love how each has a personality and both shapes and reflects the ....

Comment preview: I actually felt the same way as you do before I started learning it a few months back and wondered why anyone would go through any effort to learn a language with, at most, 2,000,000 speakers. For me, it was just a new thing to learn that could possibly a ....

Comment preview: Coming from a broken home, I can tell you that the biggest teachers are the relationships you have with people. I had to go through some difficult times myself to get to place where I could be in a healthy relationship and discover that line of red flag an ....

Comment preview: Just think how that part of your heart that is filled with their memory that feels so precious that it makes you cry every time you think about how it's gone, what if you never found that thing to fill that hole? You wouldn't even know you had the capacity ....

Comment preview: 9 months ago I was in an accident, I broke the C-2 vertebrae in my neck, incurred a severe concussion, and almost bled to death. Everything (absolutely everything) is fine now. Just a scar that is hidden by my hair. If my head had been moved an inch in e ....

Comment preview: This is all up in my feels right now, so this might be a little poorly put together. I have learned so much. About life, myself, love, friendship, trust, understanding. I learned what real love is, that I'm a gigantic sack of shit sometimes, but that there ....

Comment preview: Learning about how hairstyles work (hair physics FTW). Learning that women typically like to be complemented on a choice of theirs (hairstyle, choice in shoes/boots/dress/pants), than things they can't (eye color, height, etc) Learning that the Law of Aver ....

Comment preview: Karma only exists on reddit. Good things happen to people who do bad things, and vice versa. That's life. But the great thing about life is that you do have the power to make things better for yourself. You can surround yourself with positive people who w ....

Comment preview: One - You know that phrase "Don't sweat the small stuff"? You'll learn what that small stuff is. As time goes on, you learn how to handle day-to-day crap that would've likely overwhelmed you in your youth. Two - Some younger people have the impression th ....

Comment preview: It will be the opposite of what i wrote in that other thread, but i'll post here anyway. * Learning by ear/doing ear training. * Making sure your technique is relaxed and accurate, as well as making economical motions. * Learning to read notation. * Develo ....

Comment preview: Relationships are a lot harder than they seem. As a heteronormative, heterosexual male who started dating in his 20s, this is my list. * Other people judge you based on your girlfriend, probably more than they'll judge you based on yourself. They'll judge ....

Comment preview: Learning. I love to learn. Things that have absolutely no use to anyone whatsoever or to do with my degree or anything. I love seeing new things and hearing about new ideas regardless of the topic. I take interest in languages, engineering, astronomy and a ....

Comment preview: Sorry things didn't work out OP but remember each relationship is a learning experience regardless if it continues or ends. We learn how to interact in different situations, learn more about ourselves, how we deal with problems, what makes us happy, what m ....

Comment preview: There is some serious validity to loving yourself before loving another! That's just one of life's rules, in a way. Understand that my advice is only offered from my perspective and my own personal experiences; this is what worked for me. Your relationship ....

Comment preview: I think it depends on what one's definition of "love" is. My parents say they love my brother and I both equally, and they may even feel that way inside. But their actions show something very different. Having grown up with parents who played favorites, gi ....

Comment preview: Every love has been different - and honestly, nothing will ever feel like your First Love. And that's okay. First Love is whole and pure and careless; you throw yourself completely into your First Love, because you don't know any better, and because of tha ....
