You can't control the perception of others.

You're not going to please everyone.

Most of us are just a paycheck or two away from homelessness.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you have only Redditor Ionlyventinthisacc, who asked the online community: "What is one bitter truth you know about life?"

"Just because..."

Just because you've had a bunch of bad things happen to you, doesn't actually mean it's going to get any better, even if you try hard to be positive and focus on making yourself the best version of you possible.
