Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
Wouldn’t it be a gift to be born knowing the opinion of one’s peers mattered little? So much of the angst of learning your way would be relieved. Often, a person wastes that time unlearning the basic rules learned as a child. Kindness, empathy, and decency may be discarded in pursuit of fun, friendship, and ambition. It’s good to mature and be authentic.

I’m not sure the opinion of one peers is easy to disregard given that it makes a difference how they and others treat you. As I prefer to be liked if possible it may be that I am a little too flexible on occasion rather than voicing what might be an unpopular opinion. Hugs
