Discussion Any sayings you believe in?

[Nitlott]

Doesn't need to explicitly be a saying, can be something you made up. Just some little thing you believe in

I believe that magpies bring news. And if they don't get close to you themselves, it's not your mail and someone else's. Not just good/bad or big only, just...news. Finding out your headphones didn't charge is news too if you squeeze your eyes enough. There's a saying "a magpie brought on the tail" which I really like. There's definitely more... the most common I can think of is the One for Sorrow nursery rhyme... Magpies are my favourite birds. So I also think they're a good sign of... something. Me buying the last can of my favourite soda is good, spending time with my classmates is good... You get my point I think.
I like to call them words associated with news. Like articles, like in a news article...very funny, very funny. Headlines too sometimes. Or just postmen/other news related job. I especially like how my mother reacts when I say something like "there're 3 journalists outside" lol, it takes her a minute to get.
When I see one I immediately check my gpa to see if something changed, or my phone, or try to remember any recent tests. More often I just admire and observe them. I've seen ~7 for the past week, that's cool. Today there was a pair of them in the morning. I hope I'd get an opportunity to get close enough to get a clear picture on one of my cameras one day.

My Grandma used to say: 'If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.' I don't always live up to that aim but, I think it's a good one to have.

I forgot where I heard it, but there's a quote that goes something like "New experiences build the soul". I tend to think about it a lot. Honestly, it's probably the reason I started going on walks. To explore means I'm adding little experiences to personality :]

Now ain't that a doosie
Dumber than a box of rocks
I didn't do it
That's about as useless as tits on a nun
This hurts me more than it hurts you
I'm doing this for you good
It's almost over
This will only hurt for a little while
Now you've done it
You screwed the pooch on this
Why can't you be more like your sister
I told you a thousand times quit exaggerating
It you would only listen to me
I know what's best for you
Get off that damn phone
I don't care if it hair lips Hitler

I mean, kind of obvious based on my username, but i like "one must imagine Sisyphus happy." Its not really a "saying" in the traditional sense, but it's the only thing that makes the repitition of daily life feel like something other than a total waste.

"You made your bed now you have to lie in it."

And other Spanish one I do have : "primero cae un embustero que un cojo".

Which means: a liar falls first than a crippled person.

Just means lies always comes out.

Angel numbers. I love the angel number 222! It has something to do with harmony, alignment, and trusting the process.

Around same time last year, I lost someone very important to me. Not because we fought, or we hated each other. No villains. Just two people who couldn't overcome real-life circumstances. Only meant to meet, but not stay.
I accepted it was over. But of course, there was a part of me that thought "Maybe if I just gave him what he wanted, we would still be together." Especially when the wound was fresh. I dealt with a lot of self-blame. Maybe I still do.
The weird thing is ever since things ended, the numbers "222" kept appearing EVERYWHERE. The first few times, I just shrugged it off, but I could be minding my business and it would just be there!! Some time in December, I even randomly woke up in the middle of the night (which never happens) and when I checked my phone, guess what time it was...

So yeah... even though losing him still TREMENDOUSLY breaks my heart to this day, I try to be strong and just keep going because The Universe has kept sending me the 222 reminder all these 12 months.
Gotta trust the timing of my life ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯(through gritted teeth) (lol)

And recently, I've learned about the song "Sun Bleached Flies" by Ethel Cain.
I love the part that says "If it's meant to be then it will be. I forgive it all as it comes back to me."

Ooooh and I'm big on quotes haha
Here are just some from the list "Things I tell myself so I don't completely lose it." LOOOL
"Sometimes life falls apart so everything can fall into place."
"I don't pay attention to the world ending. It has ended for me many times and began again in the morning."
