I learned the hard way to never ignore the crazy eyes.

Do not connect a hot-chassis (plugged directly into mains without a transformer) device to a grounded device. Even though a PC power supply has a rectifier on the input, it still has a transformer (it's just much smaller than a normal 50Hz transformer) and the hot side is isolated from the cold side. It works if all connected devices are isolated from ground, but one grounded device messes things up and you get fireworks. 

Do not light a firework while keeping your head directly above it.

Don't ignore a weak car battery. 

I generally know better, but I guess I had to learn this lesson again over the weekend.

Just because you knew someone once doesn’t mean you know them now.

Wrapped butter packaging DOES have metal in it. I didn't think it did...almost blew up the microwave...

[Clawdeen 12,110]

Be careful who you trust.

That  narcissists exist, and they aren’t very nice friends. 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

Patience; especially when dealing with loved ones.

[Sophie 879]

Open up to people I don't know for very long.

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

That to overcome this world, I would have to fight against myself. My own worst enemy, my own self. Imagine that... To renounce the whole world. It doesn't make sense, right?

You don't know how much sense it makes. More sense than this whole plane-t. "Winning by losing", it does sound crazy. But there is no other way. Because every way is another binding. This world is not what it seems, because under fabric of false light that makes up the surface of this reality, lies a dark purpose.

The one and only person you can rely on is yourself.

Strength comes from endurance, and sometimes you have to endure a lot of hard stuff

[J.J 918]

That most ppl wanna be close to your business, not to you. That blood is weaker than banners, meaning what truly matters is what you stand for and who stands with you. That there are(in our modern world) NO EXCUSES for keeping toxic ppl in your life that want to drag you down, if you aren't over their business or trying to use them, you deserve what you get. And MOST OF ALL being real gets you hated, some ppl absolutely reject truth to protect their egos, there is NO PURPOSE in continuing an argument when you ARENT going to change the other person's perspective or feelings.

And sometimes, you just have to..... um... to rely on others

I had to learn what it meant to make my own decisions and decide things for my life even if it meant ending friendships with people who wouldn't understand or respect that.

I learned the hard way that who you know is often more important than what you know when it comes to getting a good job after attaining a college degree (nepotism cheated me out of making six figures a year).
