Never waste your time, Never waste your life
I don’t live with regrets and I know deep inside that you should never regret anything in your life.
But,
There is one big regret in my life that I’m struggling with letting go and that’s exactly what’s been said on the quote above.
When we’re young we’re inexperienced about life and that’s why we do the decisions we do.
When I was younger I never let go of people that were not good for me. With both of my serious relationships I have BIG regrets I wasted so many of my “golden years” on them. I gave up so much for them but in return I got nothing back.
The same goes with friends. The amount of toxic friends who’ve been living off my energy like parasites have been enormous. The ones I thought were real friends, but obviously were there for whatever selfish reason – I later had to realize!
Back then I was in my pink clouds thinking “oh my new bff” or whatever. The amount of time and energy I’ve wasted on these people is something I feel “Dayuuum, I could have done so many other great things with this amount of time!” Or spent in on people who actually deserve it.
But I guess this is how you learn. This is how you gain life experience. By doing these mistakes.
Everyone does them, it’s part of growing up and I guess that’s why I chose to write about it. There isn’t one person I think who cannot recognize her/himself in this – and if for some reason there is someone, please speak up! You’re one of a kind then
When I get kids this will be something I will speak often about:
Be kind to yourself,
Be kind to your own time.
Don’t waste any of it or any of your energy on people who show signs that they don’t deserve it.
Don’t cling on to boyfriends who act like selfish pigs.
Don’t allow friends to suck on your energy.
Treat yourself and your time with respect.
Value it.
If people have a problem with that, then they are the ones you should stay away from.
Some say “time is money” but I want to say; Time is LIFE – don’t give away parts of your life to whoever.
And finally, let go when it’s time to let go.
Don’t cling on to something that is not working because you’re afraid or you’re too nice etc.
Life is a never ending cycle of changes so no matter how long you wait, you’ll have to take out the rubbish at some point.
Don’t wait with it! If you wait you’ll end up living a life full of regrets. So just rip off the bandage while its fresh. And while you’re young.
Nobody wants wasted years.
Never waste your time.
I love these journal entries, the style. It gives a special vibe to all of it, we're kind of accessing something that people usually hide deep inside.
This is so precious and I wanted to thank you, again, to share this here.
