I have a friend and the friendship isn't what it used to be. We are drifting a part but message each other sometimes. The drifting apart is on his behalf not mine. And I am someone who would prefer to have a friend who's present and is a prominent part of my life instead of someone who checks in every few months. I was thinking about telling him that we should just end our friendship because literally nothing is really keeping it going. I was talking to my brother about it and he told me something that really stuck to me. He said, "Having a friend is better than not having one at all." He said it's better to have someone you talk to every once in a while than to have no one at all. That really made me think. I realized it's not really a big deal talking every few months I guess I at least have someone who even checks in at all. That's better than nothing.

Nothing is perpetual. People come and people leave.
I was offered a million dollars to pose naked in a well-known men's magazine. I admit, the million dollars was tempting.
My brother was like, ‘Jennie, I think you need to rethink that.’ I asked why, and he said, ‘If a little girl goes to the grocery store and sees that magazine and says ‘Daddy, there’s Jennie. Can I get that magazine?’ And then the dad has to say, ‘No, that’s not appropriate.’ How would that make you feel?’ That hit me like a ton of bricks, and I was like forget it, there’s no way. I accept being a role model and I love the fact that I have the opportunity to be the best role model I can be for the youth of today and tomorrow.
I don’t have a sibling but one advice somebody said is “nobody cares how much you cry, all they care about is the end result.” // And “(Don’t feel sorry for yourself). That’s selfish!” // Also “The truth isn’t pretty. And you have to work hard to make the truth pretty.” // And “Nobody will respect you if you don’t respect yourself.” // And also “Don’t ever, ever, ever, lie to yourself.” // (If you act you think people will like you, people will like you) “unless your weird or unless your a jerk.” // “People don’t have time to get to know you. You have to give them a reason to make time for you.” //

We moved from Iraq to Sweden, my brother moved first at 98 and the rest of came 2005. Wo his advice was: learn the swedish language proper, learn the laws, get in their society and be apart of it because this is our new home. He added : many of our people will tell you how bad things are but none of them sees the good in it. Am doing much better than the rest, way much better
Not exactly an advice, but my older brother was the best example I had of how NOT to behave with women... lol... sometimes, showing you the actual way (even of what NOT to do) is better than just giving advice, lead and learn by example.
"don't be stupid and idiotic" he didn't say it but it was clear to me right away (he's not that bad nowadays)Less advice more so showing he cares. This is when I started my first job he said “ I’m scared for you, if I’d known you were working in this area I would have stopped you but I’m proud of you and love you “ my brother and me don’t plainly express our feelings to each other unless we are hurting
My sister always told me if I ever have to walk somewhere to never carry a purse and put everything in my pocket.
“You are just not observant. You CAN be observant when you want to but you need to watch your surroundings.”
My siblings don't give advice. I'm the youngest but often gave advice to them.
"If you're gonna be a turd then go lay in the yard"
-big sisyou know i never thought about that xD but thinking about it for the first time, i never got advice from my siblings. maybe cause i'm the oldest one.
My oldest brother told me that most teachers/professors were lenient. I had that mindset and it helped me be less stressed.
He also told me to not assume.How not to fuck over your husband? I watched my sister fuck over my brother in-law by cheating and using him.
She maybe my sister, but I dont like what she did to him.never punch a person in the face with your thumb inside your fist always leave it on the outside of your fist and wear brass knuckles if you can while punching the mother fucker in the face and carry a taser mace or pepper spray and knife and baseball bat whereever you go just don't bring the bat in a public store and keep the knife taser pepper spray/mace and brass knuckles with you in your pockets easily concealable
I have an older brother, but he was a dumbass, so not much advice from him. He never amounted to much either.
He said "shut up you mistake", solid advise because talking to my family produces no special outcome.
Hang on to her, there's more people out there who wants her more then you realized.
She bought me a vibrator and taught me how to use it. She also gave me some good advice about applying for colleges.
Um, Her Usual: "I'll let You know."lol!!! xxoo
Those who carry a gun invite the battle.
So carry a condomI am the eldest of my siblings, so I don't have anything to offer for this question.
I love my family, but generally they have given me terrible advice, as if they don't even know me.
