Life Tips

tarnish · May 2013

I love reading life tips and some can turn out very very helpful. So what is your tip for life? I'll update the list as it goes =D 1. Keep all your important/embarrassing files on an external hard-drive. If your computer ever crashes or gets stolen, you have what you need on the hard-drive still. 2. Don't eat yellow snow 3. Lemons are good for everything 4. Take photos of everything! Even if you look silly doing so 5. Never go to bed angry. You never know what the next day will bring; if it even chooses to come at all. 6. Be open to and accept the changes that life offers. Sometimes change isn't easy, but it will be worth it in the end. 7. Live in the moment. Fretting over the past or planning only the future will leave something to be desired. What is in your past cannot be changed, and your future is still undetermined. 8. You cannot change the whole world, but you can change your own by learning to love yourself unconditionally. Surround yourself with people who can peacefully co-exist in your world, and don't be afraid to move on from negative influences. 9. Don't sacrifice your morals for someone else. Do what you know to be right, even if it feels wrong. 10. Live for yourself first, others second. Your friends or family might mean well, but while they can walk away from you, you cannot walk away from yourself. Live a life that you can be happy with. 11. Be yourself in your everyday adventures. Don't feel as though you have to be dishonest about your lifestyle, your past, or your dreams. If a person cannot accept you for who you truly are, you're better off without them. 12. Always be accountable and hold yourself responsible for your actions, regardless of the circumstances or your state of mind. Accountability is a quality which many people lack, but almost everyone desires. 13. Most of all, never stop believing in yourself. In the face of obstacles, don't give up on your dreams or passions. Learn to conquer and progress. 14.Squeeze a mix of fresh lemon and lime juice to help cover up or remove bad smells. 15.Apple cider vinegar is one of the best, natural products you can use for a variety of things, such as to help fend of bacteria, remove a wart, improve skin health, and clean. 16.Baby powder is helpful in high humidity or high heat. It can help you avoid feeling sticky, hot, and can help you avoid skin irritation. 17. Epsom salt rinses, scrubs, or soaks can help relax and heal sore muscles. 18. You may try using strong scents, such as eucalpytus, orange, or mixed essential oils to prevent a cat from scratching carpets, couches, etc. Cats do not appreciate 'loud' smells and will avoid it. 19.Never leave home without a hat 20.Recycle 21.When you're angry, don't go over the top. In the end, people are hurt, and you're living in an awful state of regret. 22.Just keep swimming

ivybear93 · May 2013

Take photos of everything! Even if you look silly doing so. I love taking photos even if I've no skill. But you'll never lose those memories of things if you have pictures =3 I have a box under my bed of just photos - mainly school and college. I actually miss having film cameras, when you find that random used film and you take it into the shop to be developed. As its a surprise when you open them up to see what was on there XD

Ooh good one Paper! I'm upset looking through pictures when I find I wasn't in some of them. I tend to hide from the camera and always be in the back. It feels like I'm missing out on stuff or something. I usually have tons of fun going through old photos. Even if I do not like one of myself, I know it is the past and I can smile at it now. ^^; Ana, no worries about flooding! I love reading these which is why I started a thread! Your one about epsom salt is good. I have a chronic medical issue where I develop abscesses that are extremely painful if I don't get antibiotics in time. Well the first time I found out about it by having my first episode, someone suggested epsom salt and it helped heaps. Eventually I think I may need surgery Dx which I'm terrified of. Keep them coming =D

Yeah I get sad that I have no actual pictures of me with part of the groups etc as I'm camera shy. But at least taking them I know I was there. I keep thinking about getting a Polaroid but they are still expensive XD

tarnish · May 2013

I have a polaroid camera still but I dont have the film for it. I loved using it, was so fun~

PaperWings · May 2013

Lucky! I just miss the spontaneous pictures that could be real good or out of focus XD No taking 100 just to get the perfect picture!

-never leave home without a hat - recycle!

Never go to bed on an argument, sort it out first, or the problem will be worse in the morning Edit For the thinkers, keep a notepad and pen beside your bed if you get an idea/thought write it down, you'll be able to get to sleep easier

When you're angry, don't go over the top. In the end, people are hurt, and you're living in an awful state of regret.

This was already said

For some reason I'm better going to bed angry because I forget about it by morning and don't really have the energy to care at that point xD. Iunno maybe I'm weird. Updated everything else!

The short & sweet ones say it all for me: -Let the people you love know how much you love them. -Smile often. -Help others. (Pay it forward) -Travel, and never lose your curiosity in the World. -Exercise keeps you young! -Learn to forgive.. both yourself, and others. -Do what you love. The first one is a big one for me. I try not to live with any regrets, but the people that I've lost and wont ever get to see again are always on my mind, and I find myself feeling bad sometimes... like I didn't tell them I loved them enough when they were still here and I had the chance.

I think that after everything is done and it's all over, the only things that really matter are how you feel about the life you lived, and all the people you loved while living it.

Mistakes are good they help you learn but regrets are pointless

Howdy, Stranger!
