"Follow your bliss"

It's advice from an old person, looking backwards at their life, trying to find a pattern after the fact. What you call "bliss" when you're looking at your future is not the same thing as what you label "bliss" looking back at your past.

"Do what you love for a living and you'll never work a day in your life!"

More bad advice. Do what you love for a living, and you'll never completely relax or be able to simply enjoy the things you love anymore.

Honestly no… I generally think words hit the hardest in many instances. I have had to bluntly tell people how I feel about them, their actions or my opinion on something they believe in - these instances have been the most impactful and are the most poignant in my mind.

I punched someone in retaliation as a child, that’s as physical as I have got - self defence, honestly don’t care.

Haven’t cheated or been unfaithful, nor really neglected anyone (knowingly) in respect of their emotions.

I also try to think of what would upset me the most. The most awful thing I could experience is someone I care about verbally dismantling our relationship, especially if it includes blunt honesty about how they felt about me - contrary to how I wanted/perceived things to be.

I’ll also share. When I was 17 I was at this house party, we got drunk and decided to climb on the garage and jump onto the tramboline in the garden. I was there jumping together arms to arms with these two chicks and upon landing I let out the biggest fart of my life. They looked at each other in disgust.
