You are much closer to being poor and homeless than you are to being super rich

Some people are bad parents. Being funny or smart doesn’t mean you’re ready to take care if a human being (maybe even multiple) for a good chunk of your life. Please don’t get kids to fix a relationship either, I’ve seen this too much and it doesn’t work.
5

6
Most people genuinely do not care about you or your opinions, which is just fine

The odds that you die tomorrow is wayyy higher than winning on that lottery ticket.
24
Not everything happens "for a reason" or because of something you have (or have not) done. Sometimes, things in life and the Universe go sideways and it's just your time to be caught in the crossfire.
25
If you’re chasing a romance or friendship… the other person doesn’t want to be with you.
