Advice from the Experienced

I suppose it really comes down to your own personal situations. In the end, my personal experience has shown me that life is short, and I don't want to spend more years of my life with someone who isn't going to make it better. When You spend 6+ years with someone, and then you look back and see all the things you could have done and you didn't do, it really eats at you. I just want the younger people out there to understand they can do anything they want with their life, and that trying to find love is just one of those things. In the end, finding out what you want to do in your life is the most important. The most important person in your life will always be you. How do you expect the other person to be happy being with you if you aren't happy with who you are? It might be shallow advice, but I consider it the most basic advice needed. I'm now taking my time to work on myself. I also do know it's easier said than done. It's pretty much my current life right now, and change is hard. Finding out who you are and what you want is very hard....but worrying every day about who you're going to be with the rest of your life or rushing into something you aren't sure about is also self-destructive. Lastly, you can't compare your life to the lives of your friends or family. That only sets you up for unrealistic expectations that you might not even be ready for. Sure, I know it's hard to not do it, but in the end, you will find what you want when you want...you just need to work to get it. I'm glad you currently have a love interest though! It's always a good feeling knowing you have someone to make yourself a better person for, and gives you a reason to keep going. :)

All is fair in love and war. love and war have a lot that cross and experience like in war can be a great tool or a crippling weapon that slips from ur grasp and with the leverage on the other end it's torn from you hands and now your beaten to death by it. A word to the wise experience can be used against you and the person your often fighting is your self so reach deep down and find more tools. When your young be fast and strong use your youth to the fullest and when your old and slow and all you have left is experience then use it but don't be shocked if it get's you almost no place.

I def hear where your comin from dad guy, but at the same time I cannot agree, its all at its own pace brah, and we all got different siituations, some people are looking for love, some people looking for understanding, some people looking for that 2am booty call, different strokes for different folks. People all want different things and in this day and age, i agree the only relationship worth Monteray Jack is with yourself, but people lookin for all different kinds of scenarios, its not even always about love. Just my 2 pence, i probably dont knos what i am talking about
