1) You can give love, friendship and caring, but you can never ask for them from anyone.
2) Love has boundaries, love has a religion.
3) Pork is the most delicious meat on earth, especially pork belly.
4) The person who is a friend of yours today, might not be so the next day.
5) Don’t ever think of turning your back on your family, unless they’re absolutely dickheads.
6) Everything changes, so does everyone.
7) If a person you’re dating doesn't see the point of Perfect Days nor (try to) understand Soravis Jayanama’s books, don’t continue dating them.
8) Speaking of Perfect Days, if you have an existential crisis, watch it. Perhaps it can lead you to peace of mind and happy, calming solitude.
9) Everything is absurd.
10) Thai food is incontestably the best.
11) Don’t be so attracted to a dick or a pussy that you forget your identity and be easily led by the nose.
12) Online dating is a trap (I totally agree with Dolly Alderton). It tricks you when you get connected with someone so easily and so fast that you think they are meant for you. But in reality, they are not. You two are so fucking different that it makes you wonder how you’ve got along with that person in the first place.
13) Always eat noodles separately with a soup. Don’t put black soy sauce and bean sprouts in there.
14) Karma is real. You don’t have to live the next life to see the consequences of your actions because they really take effect in this life.
15) To let things go is the most universal and pacific religious lesson ever existing.
16) Exercise everyday or as regularly as possible.
17) Don’t take things and people for granted.
18) Kindness is good, but it can abuse if used wrongly or excessively. It can also be abused if given to those who haven’t deserved it.
19) Blame yourself every time you’re wrong.
20) Don’t push things and people. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
21) The movie Drive My Car also gives you a sense of comfort and endurable sadness.
22) Watch some sitcoms and comedy shows.
23) Don’t follow every single trend or be someone you’re not to avoid conformism in this world.
24) Wanting to be happy doesn’t mean you can exploit other people (this is my applied lesson influenced by Buddhism).
25) Don’t be friends with someone who, despite their charm, has made you miserably sad and agitated four days a week. If your therapist ever implies you should still keep that person in life “for the sake of your own happiness,” tell him/her to fuck off and find a new one more aggressive, realistic and down to earth.
