Sometimes, the thoughts of that person were in your mind so long, you feel guilty for letting them go, but the thing is, you had to do it to move on! You will even have a dream or two, making you think you were wrong to let go, but don’t listen, you have to let go of things and people that have held you back. Because they did, and you may not have even known or realized they did...
This actually REALLY hit home to me. I cut out my entire family (except my son) about 7 years ago. And I don't feel guilty about it, but then I kick myself for missing some of them, for missing having a family, as if I'm defective for feeling that way, or pathetic is maybe the better word. I guess I thought I wasn't "allowed" to miss them when I was the one who chose to "divorce" them.
Haven't seen or talked to my ex in 18 years. Still love and miss him. Would never take him back
I'm also afraid of the same thing, that I will miss the person that I do love at this moment ( but almost on separate ways, we have a daughter together ). I think I will miss all this for all my life
Load More Replies...I just get divorced a year ago. The best decision I have made. But I do definitely miss her too much. Than we talk (we have a son) and the missing part just drifts away in a minute. Still best decision. But I do definitely miss her too much. Than we talk and the missing part just drifts away in a split second.
I needed to see this today. Sadly, I need to cut two people out of my life who have caused untold pain in my life. I'm mourning the loss because I've tried for 60 years to love them, they just don't love me. Never did from the day they had me. My heart hurts, but I'm at peace that they can't be in my life anymore.
I know your heart is hurting. But sometimes we have to cut toxic people out of our lives. And that can be especially heartbreaking when you have loved them so much, for so long, but they have never returned that love. It's way past time for you to be at peace, to focus on your own dreams, and to be able to do all the things that make you happy and bring you joy. Yes, you may be sad sometimes and you may mourn the loss of having them in your life. But, you have tried for 60 years, and they will probably never change. So, please don't feel guilty. They had 60 years of chances to change. And they didn't. It is now your time, your time to do all the things you've dreamed of doing. And now you can do all those things without having to worry about the judgemental BS from other people. Live your life (In whatever way you want to.), Love yourself (and whoever else you want to.), Laugh as much as possible (Sometimes Laughter is the best medicine.) Continued.....
Load More Replies...There will always be people who will take advantage of nice people. They seek them out. You can be nice around most people, without having to worry about that.
Niceness also mistranslates as insecurity very often. You need to know how to get bold when needed.
Load More Replies...I have one friend. She's so deep and sensible. Why do I need another one when I already have the best one you could get!?!??!
This may sound sad when you read it, but no one truly wants gaggles of friends. Things get confusing, feelings get hurt, etc. It's better to have a small tight circle of "real friends" that you can always count on.
i have one real friend. ive known her since we were both 3 months old. she's stuck with me through thick and thin and we love each other to bits. so very extremely grateful to have her in my life.
Who ya gonna call when your car breaks down in the middle of the night in the worst neighborhood, and AAA says it will be 2 hours?
No. If u r extremely lucky u will have those rare moments when few people are true friends to you. Never all the time nd certainly not all people.
Equally importantly, you being offended doesn't entitle you to jack S.
If something is Orange, it is Orange OK end of, PC is going off the scale ridiculous nowadays. People getting outraged because they think they should. People getting away with murder because they had a bad childhood, bollocks, lock them up, no TV etc, it isn't a holiday camp.
The fox comments section is worse than a SJW website? Not a goddamn chance.
Load More Replies...There's a lot of people getting offended on behalf of others and putting up a big stink to protect them, wanted or not, they decide to speak for others, and even gets offended and tries to s**t you down, when you, one of the people they decide to speak for, speak up and state that they are wrong and don't have the right to speak for you or on your behalf. You are now the offensive one that should STFU.. how does that work? I for one would love to hit people like that over the head with a cluebat until they get it, and stop their actually offensive nonsense, not realising rhat they are actually the offensive ones...
Well... I'm not a vegetarian, I like the taste of meat too much, but the uncomfortable truth is that this steak once was a living animal and I know it. I don't like it and I prefer not to think about it. The comfortable lie is to pretend that the steak on my plate has nothing to do with the cow and it's beautiful eyes that I find so beautiful...

Correction: dumbass peoples ruin the happiness of others because they cannot find their own.
it's true that most rude people is rude because they just envy others. and some of them is rude because they're rude
True more often than not. It follows from the curse on Adam after the fall. See Genesis 3.
If it sucks at times it's obviously not the dream job. It's the job you intended but not the dream job.
...you pick your dream job not to have a good time, but to stick to it no matter what. Especially when it sucks.
Yeah, there will always be those moments. But if it's what you truly want to do in life, they are few and far between.
You were also awesome at times in the past and will rock in the future :)
... unless you're an actual potato... in which case, 45 minutes in the oven at 350 should do it.
Or wrapped in tinfoil on your engine block on a roadtrip.
Load More Replies...And that's perfectly okay! Just do your best and learn what you can from each experience.
My first husband cheated on me with his second wife, and cheated on her with his 3rd wife. So if he cheats on her, what did she expect?
My granddad cheated on my grandma w half the neighbourhood. But he was very true to his second wife. He got impotent. There's hope.
Load More Replies...I'll be cursed with a winning powerball ticket??? I dread the day, hopefully it happens soon so I have the rest of my life to recuperate from the shock.
As Dr.Phil often says to the second wife or mistress of a guy on his show. If he did it WITH you, he'll do it TO you. Just look at the present tenant of the White House.
No you r not tomato. U r delicious. I would like to be the villian in every one's story. Sounds exciting.
Reminds me of those people who have dysfunctional lives, but it's always some one else's fault. People are sooooo mean to them.
You are mean. You have too many opinions about other people.
Load More Replies...I'm definitely the villain to a couple of people from my past......
I suppose so. There's that old saying, " You can't please everyone and his/their? uncle."
They're probably the villain in my life in return so at least I can die knowing I made their life as miserable as they made mine.
Well, sometimes it's not you, but rather your choice of partners. Some people end up in abusive relationships over and over again, sadly.
well,... actually it's still you who makes the choice....
Load More Replies...I always ask "What's the common denominator here?" It starts them thinking, if they understand what a denominator is!
Endings usually mean new beginnings,that's usually good. It means you have moved on!
And what if you are the problem? Nobody gets to tell you how you should live your life.
That's awesome, then! Nothing says you have to be in a relationship.
Load More Replies...Theres really something good in everyday. Sometimes it takes a while to find it!
I have crippling depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and growth hormone deficiency. I get migraines a lot. My life is hard, a lot, I have PTSD and panic attacks and have one every time I'm stuck with a needle and every time I get in a car.
As an engineer I was told ' If it won't fit, get a bigger hammer. If it still don't fit your doing it wrong, and call an expert.'
If people understood it . That would be a miracle. Always a square peg into the round hole
A square peg will fit a round hole! As long as the hole is big enough!
Load More Replies...The perfect time is when you have the guts to say " here I go world. You better watch out!"
Yep, and that's how you end up being 42 yo for your first pregnancy... :-/
I don't understand why f**k is covered. We all know what it says and it is not in bad context. So f*****g annoying
The path to your goal is stimulating. Achieving your goal means you aimed too low. Depression will follow...
Successfully building the perfect Magic: The Gathering does take more time for me then for some others.

Same. I had a presentation today over a crime scene crawled out the other end of the cave with a B.... Yay!
and the secret is to find someone that works going there and pay them to solve this for you.
That was such a nice article that BP posted, with all the artists paying him tributes. 💕
Load More Replies...beauty is in the eye of the bee holder so marry an apiarist :)
Load More Replies...It wouldn't matter if everyone weren't beautiful if people weren't so biased. But, they are, so it matters.
Beauty isn't the Only quality in people that can be important, the ones who are 'less' so, usually have a lot to offer in other ways that's just how the world works. Balance.
Why do now what we could very well wait for tomorrow to do? It just pushes future things past our death, but then we won’t care...
There's this course about how to stop procastinating. Maybe I can go there some other time.
That's my exact argument about why there's can't be a heaven...or hell
Load More Replies...The s****y part is that not everything depends on us directly and sometimes we need other's help in order to fix things and that's the moment that it all goes to hell.
Those who are perfect are simply too short-sighted to find a way to improve themselves.
Load More Replies...Perfection is an unobtainable standard. That's the thing, no matter who or what you are, there's always going to be someone somewhere who finds a 'flaw' Don't hold yourself to the impossible.
If you’re imperfect, you cannot do the things you need to become perfect. If you’re perfect, you cannot do things that would make you imperfect.
Everyone acts like an a*****e at some time or other. I would disagree that everyone IS an a*****e. My definition of an a*****e is someone who says to every complaint about their behavior (justified or not): "Hey, that's just how I am. Take it or leave it." Not as in, "Dude, you need to dress better," and they respond with, "Hey, you don't like how I dress, that's your problem." That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about, "Hey, you can't just leave me stranded at the mall like that. You said you'd pick me up! You never even called." A*****e: "Hey, something else came up. What do you want from me? I can't be everywhere at once. I'm not going to apologize for not being perfect." A*****e.
Basically an a*****e is someone who is rigid (must be ‘right’ every time), unwilling to compromise or concede anything, overly entitled (assume they’re owed something), generally unwilling to adhere to societal standards by claiming to be a d**k and thus justifying their selfishness and antipathy. Quite assholic behavior
Honestly, when I am angry I am such a b***h. And I get angry pretty often...
If you lend someone £5 (or $5) and you never see them again, it was money well spent.
When you lend money, it's not money that you lend to others. It's trust. If that's broken, no amount of money can ever compensate for such.
AMEN!!! Anytime money leaves my hand, I give up thinking I'll ever see it again, family, friend, or stranger.
I never lend money. I'll make a gift. If it comes back that's a blessing to me, if not, I didn't expect it.
Eh, if it helps someone else get through a bad time then it's fine
Yesss, work will set you free, or as the Germans put it in the early '40s "Arbeit Macht Frei"

Yeah I know one of those guys who's just good at everything, right away. Really pisses me off.
Load More Replies...*Skill* is proportional to practice. Talent is basic ability before developing it.
Not always. Some people are naturally talented at things at others have to practice a ton to even begin to do it well.
Well,,,, yeah it can be. However, it reminds me of a guy who's been doing yoga for a long time, shows his skills to a celebrity by doing a very difficult (according to him) yoga pose but the said celebrity (who never does yoga) just did the pose like it was nothing. LOL ... but I do like this one! It does take effort if you want to improve and achieve your kind of perfection.
As long as you learn from your mistakes, it's not a totally negative experience. Something good came out of it.
Load More Replies...Yes, well thank you. It's one of my favourite concepts though. You can always belittle failure by remembering this and keeping the big picture in mind. In the biggest picture, you remember that everyone dies.
Another example of unrealistic body expectations for young fruits and veggies everywhere.
Yep, this. Or the life of a youth depending on experiences of adults.
Load More Replies...and the carrot will be eaten by a f*****g horse

Time flies when you’re having fun, and if you’re having fun, It’s usually not doing that something that you need to be doing!!!
True. Only the F@#king moron in the White House thinks he knows everything.
I always try to be as optimistic as I can. One thing I've learned is to never hold a grudge tho. If you keep a grudge on a loved one and something happens, you can't ever say goodbye. Learned the hard way with a close friend. 😔

Life is not about finding out who you are, it's about deciding who you want to be.
I want the codes to the nuclear weapons. I plan to have lovely experience with them. Go boom people!
Has anyone watched the TV show 'The Bachelor'? The one with Becka as the Bachelorette? If so, the carrot reminds me of Jordan, with his golden undies!!!!!!! :,,,D
I tried so hard / And got so far / But in the end / It doesn't even matter 🎶
Toooooooo meeeeeee........., Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger now he’s dead.
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me................(Any way the wind blows)
The worse is certain : we're all gonna die. So we can as well have fun meanwhile !
"one thing, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind" -In the End by linkin park i think
Nothing really matters, anyone can see. Nothing really matters to me.
This is the truest statement of all. We can struggle to be what we aren't, or be comfortable with who we are, be rich or poor, good or evil, etc.. It all dies in the end and no one give a s**t for more than a few weeks, if that.
Unless it happens to you. Truth potato should not contradict itself.
My wrong turns have made me become who I am today, and I wouldn't change my decisions
Definitely not OK in some cases. I am firmly of the opinion that inciting violence against journalists is not okay. The President disagrees. That is definitely not OK.
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things with which the PotUS and I disagree, and I think we can all agree he's the one whose wrong. In fact... people should just make me president. (okay. no. you shouldn't. I'd be a terrible president. Like, I'd move to Canada if you lot voted for me.)

Load More Replies...I find it funny. Blaming or congratulating karma for the revenge that is your responsibility . The universe will be truly free, if he goes around punishing ppl for every argument they ever had on the internet.
Happens to every lazy person. Be more proactive if you ever expect things to change for the better.
Shoot! I had always heard that every day was a winding road. I've been lied to.
That's why I hate to make promises. I can only promise that I will try my best.
Do the promises he want to break include the one he made in this drawing?
Nice! But than by definition u will need to keep your promises. It would be paradox
Two things. 1) That Tomato seems like a jerk. 2) Someone get that Potts Potato some biryani please.
None of these are very bitter... Some of them are motivational. Not that I’m motivated.
Most people have heard and ignored all these platitudes before. Is hearing them from a potato supposed to make it more inspirational?
I found the whole thing kind of depressing. I'm completely unmotivated now.
Load More Replies...I'd add : if you're going to take advice from someone about how to run your life, make sure they're qualified to give it ; i.e. if you're asking for advice about your marriage choose a counselor whose marriage is working, not someone who's been divorced twice or more and is living alone.
These are spot-on! A lot of life's wisdom. Obviously written by an older person who is a thinker. I found these truths to be a comfort.
