In the “figurative” / “para” sence .. it makes a hell of a lot of sense too … remember that humans have pre-set alarm systems to everything that they are exposed to… i.e. “Don’t ever show your interest in a boy or reveal your feelings”… this is just an early reaction to previous “stimulus response”… although you actually can, and endure any consequences … Well, actually it applies to any warning that tells you that this is the end … it usually is not.

Those are like a balance of the good and bad, and are the ones that feature in acceptance and reality.

‘I’ve learned that you can keep puking long after you think you’re finished.’ … so true, on a figurative level especially!

I’ve learned…
I’ve learned – that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
- I’ve learned – that no matter how much you care, some people are just assholes.
- I’ve learned – that it’s not what you have in your life that counts but how much you have in your bank accounts.
- I’ve learned – that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better have a big member or huge boobs.
- I’ve learned – that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others – they are more phucked up than you think.
- I’ve learned – that you can keep puking long after you think you’re finished.
- I’ve learned – that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones who do.
- I’ve learned – that we don’t have to ditch bad friends because their disfunction makes us feel better about ourselves.
- I’ve learned – that overzealous power agents can change your life in a matter of seconds.
- I’ve learned – that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. And all the less important ones just never go away.
Strange thing is … most of them already applied to my life.

The really ironic thing is that even with the lengths we go to to not get hurt, we end up buggering ourselves up so much anyway from having these thoughts. Crazy stuff indeed!

Those bad lessons really do stick around!

“There is no such thing as a happy ending”

Sometimes it almost feels easier to be jaded and cynical instead of optimistic and hopeful!Anything to avoid getting hurt!Definitely a bad lesson to learn!

The sad thing is, somehow we find it easier to learn the bad lessons than we do the good lessons. I guess we sometimes need a reminder to listen to our heads AND hearts and believe in ourselves.
