A few forgotten lessons

I haven't posted since January of this year partially because I'm lazy and partially because I really haven't had anything noteworthy to write about.

No good deed goes unpunished. Don't ever be surprised by this.
Placing someone else's needs in front of your own can and often does leave you taken advantage of. You should still put others before yourself.
You should be careful how much you invest in others. They may just keep taking and resent you when you no longer give.
Unrequited affection is a perfect reason to leave.
Anyone who makes you feel like less or makes you question yourself is a damn ENEMY.
If you are ashamed of how you feel, you are a damn fool. Own your fucking feelings.
If someone is willing to allow you to compromise yourself to benefit themselves, again, ENEMY.
If you don't work hard, you get nothing. Quit bitching.
If you do work hard, chances are, you'll still get nothing. Quit bitching.
The world owes you nothing.
If someone is good to you, appreciate that shit and return it in kind. There are too many shitty people for your lack of gratitude.
Your goals should include making life better.
You will hurt someone eventually. The aim is to hurt as few as possible and show compassion when you have to do it.
People are assholes. Greedy, selfish takers. All people. Unless you're the Pope, or Jesus.
If someone hurts you, as hard as it may be, don't kill them.
If you love someone and they don't love you, why are they there? Why are YOU?
If you're attracted to someone and they aren't attracted to you, why are they still there?
If you are someone's back-up, you fucking deserve that shit.
Closets are for fucking clothes.  So are damn labels.
Fuck the Jones'. I have my own drummer, my own life ideal. You do you.

There. Some life lessons I feel like sharing.
