i'm only 19 but i think don't trust people with anything important. They'll either break it or forget about it.

When it comes to life lessons what is true for you in your experience might not be the same outcome for someone else.

On a personal level, I can think of two lessons that have taught me something really important. I was about 16 yrs old when I met several members of a motorcycle 'gang'..they looked rough & hardened, but were the nicest guys & gals you'd ever want to meet! They were kind to me and answered all my questions...even the stupid questions lol You can't go by HOW a person looks...it's what's inside that counts I never forgot that My second lesson: When you're practically engaged to a guy, and his parents 'call the shots' and totally RULE, it won't work!

annie, Speaks, lainee, Thank you for your replies here. My lesson is to not lose your humanity which means don't lose common courtesy, common decency, respect for each other, the Earth, & its creatures.

I do have a similar story about a “biker” and a young woman with autism. They were in the coffee shop and he had a tattoo on his neck. She started rubbing his neck saying I like your tattoo. Instead of getting mad he said to her “if you like that one check out this!” He rolled up his sleeve to show her his ink. He then invited his girlfriend over to show her her ink. They were really nice and understanding of her. Which was a nice story 🙂

You're absolutely right, ZandraJoi! That's what it's all about...our own humanity. We're all in this together...be kind & respectful

That trying to be loyal to someone just because is a toxic mindset. Loyalty must be earned not applied.
