I don’t think there’s a single dumbass thing I’ve done in my adult life that I didn’t know was a dumbass thing to do while I was doing it. Saying it’s hard is ultimately a justification to do whatever seems like the easiest thing to do-have the affair, stay at that horrible job, end a friendship over a slight, keep loving someone who treats you terribly. I know it’s hard to know what to do when you have a conflicting set of emotions and desires, but it’s not as hard as we pretend it is. Don’t surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn’t true anymore.

Don’t focus on the short-term fun instead of the long-term fall out.

Don’t fight when you should hold steady or hold steady when you should fight. Don’t stay when you know you should go or go when you know you should stay. Do you have any advice of what not to do?ĭon’t do what you know on a gut level to be the wrong thing to do. “You give a lot of great advice about what to do.
