Don't settle for one bitch, settle for many with no intentions of settling down with one. Save that for a later date. Don't stress over anything and try your damndest to enjoy life because when you're old and gray, you don't want to look back at these years and regret wasting them. Be happy and do what makes YOU happy. And for God's sake, screw what other people think of you! Own whatever environment you're in and act like you're packing a 12 inch slong. Be nice and kind to everyone (because they could die or disappear from your life at any minute) but don't be a bitch. No matter what, spend as much time with your grandparents as possible (if they're still here) and enjoy every second spent with your friends because they'll start marrying off one by one soon and eventually fade away. Lastly, always keep in mind you don't know what that stranger you just flipped off in traffic is going through or the emotional battle he might be facing.



Amazing answer.
I genuinely thank you for answering.

Thank God my grandparents are still alive, I actually see them once a week.

My biggest challenge.
Working hard on it.

I'm not saying this is a wrong answer... because everyone is different.

But let me give you a different perspective. I have worked my arse off all my life. I'm now approaching 50... my house is paid for, my 4 kids college is saved for and I'm able to truly enjoy life without the typical stress that money issues bring under normal routine.

For those reasons, I have zero regrets of my sacrifices at an earlier age.

Well, I do have one regret... I wish I had started scuba diving 10 - 15 years ago.
