I Wish I'd Learned That Sooner

I wish I had learned sooner the power of attention to detail.

I wish I had learned sooner the futility of getting a woman to like you simply by being nice to her.

I wish I had learned sooner the power of self-love.

I wish I had learned sooner who my real friends were.

I wish I had learned sooner the importance of food and sleep.

I wish I had learned sooner to do legal research well.

I wish I had learned sooner the perils of emotional dependence.

I wish I had learned sooner to speak my true mind always.

I wish I had learned sooner that ism would always be a part of life.

I wish I had learned sooner to live life less intensely.

What do you wish you had learned sooner?

  12. @ Esi W Cleland: Or in the past, in my case.

    @ Anon 1: Fair enough.

    @ Daixy: You would agree that I don't necessarily need to be nice, I need to be ME (which won't be "nice" in all cases).

    @ Lucci: That's true. Speak your mind, but diplomacy is still en vogue.

    @ Juanita: You're still a teenager, no? You're fine.

    @ Myne: Wow! Really?

    @ Mike: Fair enough.

    @ Alexandra's Seifenwelt: Sweet. Are you noe doing that, or is it too late? If I am not prying too much...

    @ Kwame Mensa-Bonsu: Well said. Same goes for me!

    Nana Yaw, one of them would be the signals they give to let you know they like you or they want "SOME"thing. You can't believe how many "signals" and "opportunities" I've missed. LOL... But I'm good now ;-)
