What Life Has Taught Me In A Nutshell .


Life taught me to gain pain and to shape shame
Life taught me that nothing matters unless it's yours
Life taught me that selfishness comes before selflessness
Life taught me that hope are for the hopeless
Life taught me that books are not friends but guides
Life taught me that words are nothing but tools
Life taught me that actions speak louder
Life taught  me that knowing is better than ignorance
Life taught that isolation is idleness
Life taught me that arrogance is pride
Life taught me that there are always enemies
Life taught me that waiting is humbling
Life taught me that malice is adverse
Life taught me that acceptance is key
Life taught me that no soul deeply cares
Life taught me that tears are in different shades
Life taught me that joy is long-lasting and happiness is very short
Life taught me that satisfaction is overrated
Life taught me that everyone sees you
Life taught me that pretending is cool
Life taught me that honestly is weakness
Life taught me that loyalty is endangering
Life taught me that memories are like roses
Life taught me that being you is a turning point
Life is a teacher the more we live, the more we learn.
