Main focus is remain focused
Can’t never did anything
Only commit one crime at a time.
Be kind.
Everything is relative.
YOLO (You only live once) and keep moving forward
Be excellent to each other.
And party on dudes!
and Party On, dude.
Leave it better than you found it
“Try anything at least once” be it food or an experience you don’t know until you try. You learn about the world, about others and most importantly about yourself.
My cousin has a similar one, but it’s “try anything twice”. Often times your first experience in something may be rough but the second go around can be significantly better. Or in the case of food, sometimes the first time you tried it was from someone who didn’t know how to do the dish justice, or bad ingredients put into it.
Have you ever went skydiving? Not a gotcha, just actually curious. I kinda want to.
Did enough of that in the army my knees put that in the category of did a bunch of times and dont ever want to do it again. Jumping at night is the worst. I also hated packing my chute the most.
What about crimes, drugs, very niche hobbies?
Having sex with the opposite sex you are normally attracted to
Instructions… clear
I’m in a polycule now
My grandfather (who died well before my time), but I picked up the saying from my mum;
“Pray to God, but row to shore”
My sister gave me the following to bring me up from the depths of despair, and to bring me back to earth before I make an Icarus of myself:
“This too shall pass”
1: It’s weird to not be weird
2: Hate only the hateful
3: Be intolerant of intolerance
“I pretended to be the person I wanted to be until I became that person, or he became me.” Attributed to Cary Grant. On the days I wake up feeling miles away from the person I want to be, I can pretend.
Don’t count your drugs over the toilet.
“Your rights end where another’s begin.”
A nicely summarized mantra to push back on the paradox of tolerance. Many people use free speech, free market, etc, as an excuse to impede others, and this is my response to that.
I like this phrase in the context of competing access needs when it comes to disabilities. Sometimes, multiple disabled people may struggle to find a solution that works for everyone, and it’s never easy. Everyone may have a right to exist in a space, but if what you need to make that happen would prevent someone else from being able to, then it sort of stops being a right in that moment, and becomes a discussion.
As someone with multiple disabilities and many disabled friends, it’s something I’ve seen quite often. Examples include:
- A person with an assistance dog and a person with a severe allergy to dogs
- One autistic person whose safe food has a strong smell that is a sensory trigger for another autistic person in the same space
There’s a version of that one I like which goes something like, “your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.”
The golden rule. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
What about: “you have food stuck in your teeth”?
“if you comment on someone’s appearance and it would take them more than 5min to fix, you’re an asshole. If it would take less than that, you’re helping them.”
Expect it to get worse. Either I’m wrong and pleasantly surprised or I get to be right as a consolation prize. Also encourages me to plan ahead so when things go bad, I don’t spend as much time mid-crisis figuring out what to do.

While I mostly adhered to this for decades it made me depressed and I missed the point of fighting for my needs. So while I am still open to all developments I aim for my well being more.
