“Don’t put too much importance on friends. Friends come and go.”

This might sound negative but it’s not. Friends do come and go. People will let you down, so understanding this has helped me to not be devastated when a “friend” is no longer a friend.

"If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Helped me be a conscientious person.

On the other hand, also kind of lead me to expect that everybody else naturally thinks (therefore speaks) that way, which was at times hard to grapple with in some past experiences. I just assumed everybody’s mother taught them to consider of the feelings of others.

“You mustn’t say that; you’ll get rocks in your heart.”

Spoken to me when I said I was glad I wasn’t born African. I never forgot that.

The best I ever got wasn’t really advice and was from my (step) dad.

I asked him when I was very young "why do you call mum ‘mate’? "

To which he responded “because she’s my best friend”

So I learned very young, veeeery young, that you must marry your best friend.
