Things I learned from my parents through their absence
- Hold your children.
- If you are going to be shitty at least be consistent.
- The truth is important (but sometime you need to wait until someone asks).
- Anger and pain are not bad things.
- Even if other people can be reliable you can only rely on yourself. People die, they are impulsive and inconsistent.
- You do not owe anyone anything but the same goes for everyone else.
- Talk is cheap and actions can be self-centered.
- Do not get caught up in a victim mentality, even if you have experienced the most awful, traumatizing, crippling event. Life will move on and it will leave you behind.
- Do not let anyone, even yourself, tell you it is too late.
- Life is unfair, it always was and always will be. You can use this to your advantage.
