Learning And Growing
I like to think I have learned a few things as I got older. When I was in my 20s, I had no idea what things were and how to respond to life when it came knocking.Every now n then we see a post that is basically someone bashing women (or men). There was a time in my life, I would have made that same post out of frustration. I never meant it deep down but it was the only way I knew how to vent my frustrations at the time.
I learned however that people do not like those posts and in the end, it only made my situation worst as it caused me to loose friends and destroy any chance of making new friends. I had to tell myself that what I was doing was wrong and I needed to find a better way. I asked myself "is it really them, or is it me?" It was me of course. Once I figured that out, I grew and matured from that and today, I would never think about making a post like that.
When I see bashing posts or the "poor me" posts, I think of what I used to be like and how I grown over the years and grew out of the childishness and do you know what? I have more friends now than ever, I hope that at least one or two people here like me lol, and life is just so much smoother.
Never stop growing, never stop learning, and never stop living.

With every new life experience comes wisdom
At least I hope so
Nice blog
The past 9 years, since moving countries, have been a huge learning curve for me, both socially and personally. I recently went back home and was astounded at my own reaction to what had been ingrained in me from birth. Growth is necessary and so very interesting
Being introspective, and actually learning from it, isn't always easy. But it is rewarding.
You grow as a person, and both feel better about yourself, and make others feel better as a result of your maturity.
Well done
As I grow older, I feel like people are going to people and that looks like an infinite number of 'ways of being'. For instance, is it not separative to point out the complainers as "other" than you?
We all are where we are. The more we can try to understand the heart of the message rather than just reading lines of words, the more we can come to common understanding and compassion, imo.
Even got me thinking now, and I know how difficult that would
have been,,,,,, Well done
