10 Things I have learned the hard way

1. Everyone lies.
2. No one has your best interests at heart above their own.
3. You can love friends more than family but your family loves you more than anyone else.
4. It hurts to fail but you don’t learn anything by doing it right all the time.
5. The future is a really scary place no matter who you are.
6. A person’s opinion means more to them than yours does.
7. Someone else’s opinion should never supersede your own.
8. Life is hard, dying is easy.
9. Life is rarely, if ever, fair.
10. Life does not come to you, you have to go to it.
