Things I've learnt
Darling reader
As part of the writing process, I have jotted down some of my general thoughts about life.
I’d be interested to know what you might add…
Go with your convictions. Don’t defer to perceived authority - educated or otherwise.
You can still be a kind person with a sting in your tail.
Money is best spent on people while you’re alive.
You will fall out with people close to you. It doesn’t mean there’s no way back. There is always a way back. If it’s something you both want.
You will lose your faith from time to time. God will always find a way back.
Listen to Bach as often as possible.
Never trust a man who won’t let you hold his cat.
Love with all your might.
You are never born in the wrong body.
The colour of your skin, and who you sleep with, is probably the least interesting thing about you.
You will stumble and fall, but you will rise.
We all tell lies, sometimes.
We can all be a cunt sometimes. Try not to be a cunt.

You covered some great points and really got me thinking.
• Knowing that treating others as you’d like to be treated yourself is not always reciprocated but do it anyway
• Knowing that everyone is not worth your energy
• Be honest
• Be thankful
• We all make mistakes and that not everyone learns from them
• Education doesn’t mean intelligence
• Be brave
• Be compassionate
• Cultivate positive relationships
• Life is not always kind or fair
• Appreciate the little things
• Never be afraid to say sorry
• That authenticity and self acceptance are key to a living a fulfilled life
• There’s too many cunts out there, don’t be one of them
• Fill your soul with music and laughter
• Be the reason someone smiles
• You can’t figure everything out on your own, it’s crucial to seek support and guidance from others
• Always choose integrity over image
• No one is perfect, we are all a work in progress
• Don’t let the bastards drag you down
• Don’t be a bauble chasing cunt
