I would have to agree. During childhood, not being accepted by my peers was rough. However, I have learned it was for a higher purpose.
True. Hiragana and katakana took very little time to learn. The kanji kill me. I only know about 120-150 out of the 2000. It's rediculous.
hm, i think the toughest thing i have yet to learn is to consistantly make decisions based on love and not on fear.
To keep my mouth shut, to let other people make mistake and to acknowledge that I'm not perfect and dont know everything... As said, I'm still learning. And something that I have to learn how to do... I need to learn how to ask for help.
To stop being so nosy, stop butting into other people's conversations, and I still ain't learned how to drive a stick (standard) or parallel park.
Accepting myself the way I am. Keeping my mouth shut. And at school it was definitely math... and after a while, I just sort of gave up with that. But the other two I'm still learning.
The hardest thing I've had to learn ... so far (I'm still young, I'm sure there's more to come) was that not everyone is good people. I was raised to always see people as good, even if you had to look hard. While I still think that's a good philosophy, I got really burned by it with respect to one individual, and it was really hard for me to deal with that. So while I'm still the eternal optimist, I try to realize the WHOLE person, not just the marshmallow-squishiness of good that I usually see. Does this make sense?
I think the hardest thing, MOST challenging thing for me to learn and I am still learning is to be a good Mother. Being patient, understanding, loving, accepting, a guider, teacher, nurse, doctor, maid, cook, captain, etc... is not an easy task 24/7. Sometimes I need help or sleep. One other thing I think has been hard as an individual for me to learn is not judging others. I think I have learned it or at least I feel as though I have. I make mistakes. I try to learn from them and move forward. Again, sometimes I may need help or guidance, then maybe some sleep.
most diifcult thing for me so far has been getting over the trauma of my childhood. It still affects me now....I don't really dwell on it, but I let people (like my mother, or boyfriends) make me feel worthless, selfish or other shit, and I give in. I don't like being the bad guy. I get pushed around alot, and I end up having to put myself through alot of misery and bullshit I KNOW i don't deserve. They know how I feel and take advantage of shit. I don't like fighting in front of the kids, but certain individuals seem to take advantage of that by yelling at me while they're sleeping, because they know I'll stop for the sake of my kids. I also have a room-mate who (at least used to) do alot of drugs, his kids are infested with lice, he eats all of their food, and when I get angry about it, people tell me how evil I'm being. I shouldn't let their words get to me, but I do. I've gotta learn to get over that.
I had to learn that "first loves" aren't necessarily "true loves" and after putting up with the same BS time and time again I'd have to realize that it wouldn't last forever!!
The toughest thing for meto learn is that I'm not the good person I thought I was although I try to be the very best person I can. I guess I'm an asshole and I always will be.
*hugs* I think I'm gonna cry. today has been a depressing day anyway, the rain isn't helping matters much. You're not always an asshole....we have our good moments.
that no matter how hard you try or how smart you are, you can't help someone who; doesn't want to be helped, doesn't know they have a problem, or is unwilling to put forth effort.
