If Your Dad Never Taught You These Lessons, Life Will Teach You the Hard Way
As we age, we realize more and more how many things
our parents shielded us from in our childhood.
Our childhood innocence fades away,
and how we judge life and people completely changes.
The reality is that people aren’t always who they seem to be,
and life can be harsh.
It will break you down several times,
and if you are not strong enough to get up,
it will keep on destroying you until your last breath.
The lessons in these quotes are meant to help you
navigate the social world with a better understanding.
