ok really you aren't old

lol, you should already know they know it all and wont listen to our old ass's nohow

what mistakes are we making?

i'm grateful to be doing what i am doing now, while i am still young. pausing to just re-collect myself.

i have pounded that into my kids head since they were old enough to understand. they are 18 and 20 now. i still preach to em to not make the same mistakes i did. i know this sounds mean but i wish they would move from this lil town. there is nothing here for anyone. i want them to get away from here and find a real life for themselves.

life's a series of mistakes and lessons.

you live, you learn.

you always have to learn from yourself & your mistakes.

Gosh...lol..if you're old, I must have one foot in already...lol

I do love you guys..... it helps me to be here.... but there are some young peeps on that nneds to move on....don't let this shit kick your ass

You should hang out with some 90 year olds...makes you feel sprightly and ebryonic, I tell ya.

but getting support & taking meds & working at getting well IS how i don't let it kick my ass.

I must say, I agree with the young un... Snows got this one down. We'd love to have our kids and the younger people around us learn from our mistakes, but....did we learn from our parents mistakes? I know I didn't...needed to make my own, made some of the same and many new ones.

It reminds me of a song by Shirley Bassey called History repeatin'. Our youth could change the world for the better, if substances weren't thrown their way (illegal or legal)
I agree listen to old ass people, especially who are bipolar because we still see the truth of matters even with the substances. Just a part of the daily struggle, does anyone agree or am I totally alone on the discussion?

Our children learn much more by our examples than what we tell them...I'm not sure how I avoided a lot of my parent's mistakes -- but I still made plenty of my own.

I think the best things our children can learn from us is how to get up, dust off your butt and get straight back in the game when you fall...and how to analyze and learn from mistakes, let them go, and move on.

And how to balance and prioritize family, finances, and fun in life.

All those things mean nothing if you don't walk the walk you tell them to walk.

Well said starfish!

Starfish is my hero this evening! If that's all right!?

what the hell is,"old" I have been dying since i was born....I never asked to be born.
