Understanding your built environment is a key part of survival. You need to know who, why, what and how. The ignorance of other people is also a key part of said environment. Know yourself even more than you know others. You exist in your head as much as you exist in real life and these 2 parts must know each other. Everything is an advantage and a disadvantage. You never know which direction the arrow to the knee is going to come from. So evolution must be a careful mission of choosing your battles and min-maxing your strategy. Embrace the chaos.

One has to reconcile with ones past. Never betray your former self. You can feel sorry for yourself but let the sorrow direct you to a new place. Rather than going the same old rabbit hole. Create more, do more, navigate to a better direction. We know that choas chases us everywhere we go but take time to think carefully as you steer your way through the waves. Do not carry your past around like a bag weighing you down. Free yourself. If even just a little. Little by little until all you see ahead is new beginnings.

People will lie to themselves all their lives and if you tell them the truth they will hate you for it. But that is just how it is. You cannot spend all your time trying to change people that do not want to change. Live your life and you move on. Because your journey is not complete. There is still work to do and no one will do it for you. Hell is other people.
