Life is always changing so who and what you have will change with it. Values change because people change so it's important to surround yourself with people who share the same values as you.

I've learned most of that is common sense or some shit you see on a hallmark card.

Selina, I have found you to be a caring and thoughtful person, who is self motivated and has a clear plan in mind. I interpreted the quote as placing more importance on those whom you care about than material things that you have. I believe that is the type of person you are based on our interactions.

I know...unfortunately these are not common sense to everyone lol, even the brightest ones are not aware of each of them

True feelings trump material things always.

People in your life should mean more to you than stuff.
There are a few people that bring me peace and kindness. The others, just bring noise, or bring me GRIEF. Those, I can live without. You have to take care of yourself. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. Maybe it's a pet. A security blanket. At the end of the day, something to get you through the night.
Stuff can't comfort you. Stuff won't solve your problems.

Selina,
People come into your life and out... Some stay a while, some stay longer.
I come from a time before cellphones and the Internet. Before computers, laptops, tablets, and Wi-Fi. There was no media to stream, and AM radio was king. Personal entertainment didn't exist. We had record parties. Listening to 33-1/3 rpm 12" vinyl, and 7" 45 rpm singles.
There wasn't as much fast food, more diners and restaurants were around. We went to the park more, and played at the playground.
We did not have as much back then, not so many clothes, not so much stuff on our walls, not as many cabinets and drawers to stuff. We even parked 2 cars in a 2-car garage!

Now that I am in my later years, it's the quality of conversations, the warmth of our embraces, and the passion of the kisses we share that mean the most. Times that build memories, that'll we can cherish forever, that will never fade in time.
Like the first time I heard "I am in love with you", and I felt the same about her. I'll never forget her. It's not the stuff you have or collected that mattered, but the few people who mean everything to me.

There is no right or wrong answer for the 5th statement. People are just different. Some people value human connection more than material wealth. Some value material wealth more than human connection. Your life experiences, traumatic events(C-PTSD), your relationship with your parents and being loved or the absence of love while your brain develops, determines your values, self-image and how you perceive others. If you value materialistic wealth over people, it is not ethically wrong. Just be true to yourself and what you want in life. However, do not take anyone that cares about you and loves you for granted. They are priceless.
The biggest regrets people have right before they pass are as follows:
1. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
2. "I wish I didnt work so hard."
3. "I wish I had the courage to express my feelings."
4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier."

For whatever reason, these comments brought this gem of my generation to mind. This line still hits hard:
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
|
|
|
I miss you!

The greatest love of all, is happening to me.

possessions are nice but they will not comfort you when you need comfort or support: many people will come and go but the real ones can be there for life. the fortunate ones have family to lean on. but too many times i’ve seen the problem with many women on this site is they seem to attach themselves to losers who bring them down rather then raise them up. but the women think they are “in love” so they put up with the abuse, the freeloading, the disrespect.

^ Yeah, that first part.
|

I like pop tarts.

Neither what or who is more than temporary
(unless your as lucky as those who’ve got good solid people in their life
blood or not solid is solid btw it’s not thicker than water & even if it was who’s to say that thickest is best )

I promise and bet my life on this, it's the people in my life that deserve my love and efforts.
You sound like a beautiful person.
Thank you for the blog.

I thought the whole point of HX was prioritizing short-term temporary relationships over long term commitments.

Once a liar , always a liar
Never forgive someone more than twice
All men cheat

Op that guy had this handle.
Hatchet4000, and a few others.
Loves motorcycles. Gets a kick out of gardening.
He is as old as the hills and twice as dusty.
Of course, his current handle is nothing to do with the top one. His original one.
One of the nicest people on the site. I try to piss them off daily.But i'm not doing a good job.
I'm pretty sure if he ever got mad.You want to be in another county

I miss Selina. She was one of my ATF.
On the one hand, I hope she returns one day.
On the other, I know she was quite ambitious, and I hope she has found her way to the greenest of pastures!
