Things you were told that you now realize were lies

thelad95

1. That girl you were texting whose ‘phone was always in the shop being repaired’ or ‘could never afford credit’

2. University is the best time of your life. Sure, there are some great times but the overall experience is generally one of thrift, loneliness and unrealistic deadlines.

3. Money makes you happy. Nope, even if you had an infinite supply, it would just be one less thing to worry about.

Any more?

Why were you thinking lies?

If you'd been paying attention you'd have known that that was a sin!

If you use your money wisely and don't have unrealistic expectations it can make you happy, or maybe I'm just saying that as I'm in debt at the moment, my 3:

The customer is always right - this is the biggest lie of the all, customer is almost always wrong but management want to lick up to them

Just be yourself - wrong, you can make small improvements to yourself that could go a long way

School days are best days of your life - not true, there the easiest and you'll always remember the good times fondly but that's because you forget the bad times and all the times you were bored and broke

People that claim living on SW is a cakewalk- was without a job for a while- sheer hell and feeling of worthlessness

NeonSquares

Being told I could be anything when I grew up.

Then was introduced to harsh reality that getting your dream job you'd be up against, nepotism, competing with arse lickers, financial hurdles etc etc.

Not that I didn't try, I was just met with too many hurdles to get past them all.

Only a small percent get their 'dream' job, everyone else just 'settles'.

Believing that your elders are smarter and wiser than you. In rare cases yes, the majority, no.

Believing the sun moon and planets to be gods was foolish

Believing in an imaginary invisible deity was right...
