Yes, he's promised he'll be getting back to me with my payment any day now. Amazing bureaucracy over there, the amount of fees and levies I've had to cover for him to release my funds is amazing! Still, paying out only $30,000 for a return of several million is a pretty good deal!

I only recently found out Steve O'Keefe is Kerry O'Keefe's son.
And I didnt hear about WA winning the one day title till yesterday. Meanwhile Nic Nat doing a s**t makes front page news.

Bit late, but 100%. I remember my first date with my ex, and I was so nervous because she was, in my opinion, much cooler and more attractive than me.
Wasn't until a few months into dating that I found out she was so terrified and anxious about seeing me that night, that she considered cancelling.

Yeah, worst mindset you can get into is that everyone else is "normal" except for you. We're all s**t scared, even if it's not obvious.

Something I've learnt is that arrogance is usually a mechanism to hide insecurities. There is a reason why that douche bag barista or barman comes across as thinking so highly of himself.

Second prize in a beauty contest
Few things I've learned that I wish I could tell 15-year-old me (and still need to remind myself of all the time):
-Play stupid games - win stupid prizes.
-Always leave a place or situation better than you found it, even in the smallest way.
-Learning isn't something you finish at the end of school.
-Stand up for yourself.
-Own the fact you are capable of great evil.
-Only speak truth.
-Do what you know to be good.
-Don't be so selfish.

I'm just going to go with 'sex'. You can't learn about it soon enough, it is the meaning of life after all

Follow your gut. I'm actually re learning a lot of things now which I thought was outlandish in my early 20s but fitted me to a tee.
While yes you can grow and evolve (rather than change) you and everyone else will always revert to type.
Also those who seek to offer you advice/instruction/prompts/tell you what to do etc are not the ones who have to live your life. That is down to you and you alone.

Sage advice there. Reminds me of an old cricket coach who told me it was important to always listen to the advice that others give, but equally important to discern what is good advice to follow and what isn't. That's always rung around inside my head since I was a kid.

Don't get caught up in trying to find the right moment to act, in regards to relationships, career, or even the small actions we do every day.
Don't worry about what you are not doing or could be doing, or if what you are doing is right.
Give your all to what it is you are doing. You will either naturally be enriched by it or you will be satisfied that you gave it your best shot but it's not for you.
No half measures.
