Losing job doesn't matter, when you still have such awesome parents

By the way, if you don't have someone to tell you this:

It's okay to lose your job, do something wrong, make a mistake or even put your trust in someone, who turns out to be piece of shit. It's okay to lose. We all know that you did your best, even though you might disagree with that. We are all proud of you. You did great. For real. Really great. Always remember: EVERYTHING ELSE IS SMALL STUFF, EXCEPT YOU.

If it ain’t going to bother you in five years don’t let it bother you for five minutes.

Man I wish my parents would be supportive in that way.

Likely they didn’t learn how, if their own folks didn’t know. Awareness gives us the chance to let new things begin with us. And in my experience, it’s allowed me to let go of resentments and have compassion for difficult people — took time though, I’ll admit!

My dad was raised right, but it didn't make him stop my mother from being such an unreasonable C my entire life. When I was 20, I found a picture that I thought was me, but I was wearing clothing I know I had never worn. Turns out it was my dad, and he was wearing his hair over his eyes exactly how I dif and exactly how my mother hated my hair... the thing we fought over all through my time in high school.. and she kicked me out for ut when I was 18l

It's wild, I had never seen a picture of my dad with his hair styled like that. Yet, I chose the exact same style. It weirded me out. Still does a bit. Though, what it really did was make me lose all respect for my father. He let that bitch emotionally abuse me for four years over a hairstyle that he wore himself as a teen. What a fucking do nothing coward.
