Somebody told me…

What’s something someone told you that really stuck with you? It can be from someone on Lit or offline. It can be something positive, negative, helpful, hurtful, funny. Poignant or ridiculous. You decide. Cite your sources if you want.

I’ll start:

Fara told that I had lost some big dick energy when I cut my long covid hair. That was like 3 years ago and it still makes me laugh.

Alright, y’all take it from here. What’s something somebody told you that stuck?

Don’t buy the most expensive vehicles, boats or other depreciable assets, but buy all the house and/or real estate you possibly can.

Someone told me once that in order to get that funky smell on my bag of weed, you had to throw a skunk in the back of a truck full of it for a little while.

Conversely, I once told my niece that duct tape was made of duck butt's. She believed it and told all her friends for years.

My mom let it slip that I was an accident. My dad has told me repeatedly that he doesn't remember me as a kid. Good times. Sorry for the buzzkill.

I once asked someone,
"When will my life get better"
They said,
"It doesn't get better, it gets different."

Similarly, I asked another parent if parenting gets easier as your kids get older.
He said, “It doesn’t. It just becomes a different kind of hard.”
