For the uptight ones: Don't take everything too seriously.
For the not serious enough ones: Tomorrow always comes. Don't make today's fun tomorrows pain.

Well, if you truly like or love them for their disability and who they are, then yes. From my point of view, as a person with Cerebral Palsy, I want to love and be loved as most do. For 20 years of my young life, I never known of what dating is like, much less be loved. No one has ever looked twice at me because of my wheelchair.

It's ok to choose a safe career and have fun hobbies. Sometimes security is more valuable than an art degree. There is a lot of emphasis on chasing your dreams these days, but I think it leads to a lot more unhappiness than it does happiness. In this era, it's very possible to work on something you love on the side, and if it blossoms in to a caree...... 2 reply
All very good answers here. I agree, but will add mine. I'm 49, and I can't believe it because I still feel like I'm in my 20s inside! My suggestions are things that I wish I had done more of myself:
I will repeat the one about basically loving yourself no matter what. Always keep your self esteem high, and don't let others dictate to you what ...... 1 reply

I'm 21~ And the thing that I wish someone would have told me when I was younger, is to never make life decisions half-assedly. I decided to ignore the only stuff that makes me passionate in life, which is writing & drawing, and picked up nursing instead because it seemed like a solid career. I didn't understand that getting through college is somet...... 7 reply
Every relationship has "difficulties", as you said. But most of the time, you base whether those difficulties are "worth it", depending on how much you like the person.
For some people it's... "this girl is beautiful but has a racist sense of humor, can I do this?" and others, well... "she's funny & cute, but she's on a wheelchair, can I do this?"...... reply
Yeah I know people might be like wtf and all. Just to clear things out, I don't have anything against them and I don't discriminate them or something like that. I was just wondering if I would be able to fall in love with a disabled person knowing all the difficulties. I want some true feelings, answer with your heart not your mind. (though I don't even know if someone would answer)
23-year-old here. I know I'm not THAT old, but if I could give someone younger any sort of advice I'd tell 'em to enjoy whatever stage of life they're in to the fullest. Don't spend your time waiting for life to "begin"; enjoy it now. You accumulate MORE problems as you age, not less.
Also, insecurities are a frivolous waste of time and energy. Do...... 2 reply
