TV Truths - Take 2

More TV Truths from How I Met Your Mother as they apply to MY LIFE.  I did seasons 1-4 in an earlier post and these are the truths that I've found from recent seasons.

1. Suit Up as often as possible.
2. A ruined house to anyone else can be everything to you.
3. While DIBS may be a rule...if the person is more like the person who didn't call Dibs....let them have them.
4. Deciding to define your relationship is something so many people try to avoid, yet fail miserably at.
5. Sometimes it takes realizing you can never have kids to understand that you wanted them in the first place.
6. If you find yourself wanting to be with someone all the time because they make you better - look at that person in a romantic light and see what happens.
7. British chicks rarely have deep personalities on TV shows - it's like writers think the accent gives them an automatic story line.
8. You can move away, but when everything is perfect, you'll somehow find your way back home.
9. I will have a box of bets with my husband about my friends' lives.  It's going to happen.  But mine will have a lock on it.
10. "We should open a bar" are the greatest 5 words any man can utter.
11. A man who can dance and is bold enough to grab you and dance with you in front of everyone can change everything.
12. Don't judge a person on your first interaction - they could be hiding a whole other world inside.
13. If someone continues to pop into your head - don't ignore that.
14. Never stop dreaming that The One will happen.
15. The rest of the world doesn't care as much as you do about the fact that you're pregnant.
16. Giving up norms in your home can be the best way to make a new life.
17. Everyone should have a Storm Trooper statue in their apartment.
18. There is a Bro Code.  And girls can be included in it.  Don't break the Bro Code.
19. You need a non-blood family.  Finding friends who become annoying, intrusive and overly involved in your life is something everyone should have.
20. Don't underestimate LOVE.  Just because you're not in love with someone or their not in love with you doesn't mean they don't love you.
21. The parents who raised you don't always have the greatest influence on your life.
22. This is more of a hope:  When you start to give up on achieving what you desire most...it may be just moments before it happens.

Live, Laugh and Above All....Love.
