Life lessons and sayings from a Yorkshire lass
This blog was on one of my previous blogs which I have now deleted and moved to here
Hi. So today I thought I would blog - but not on things I usually blog over. Today I will be sharing some life lessons I learned growing up along with A few sayings I used to use or still use to this day. I grew up in a large-ish town in Yorkshire and a lot of Yorkshirians used to use or still use broad Yorkshire. So for those people who have no idea what 'Broad Yorkshire' means - here are some examples of what I (and broad Yorkshire talkers) usually say!
Water - Water pronounced Wa-ter.
Reyt/Alreyt - Alright
Sithee - I'll see you
Agean - Again
An'all - As well
Anyroad - Anyway/Anyhow
Eyup - Usually means Look Out but can also be used as Hello
Thee - You
I'll Crown Thee - I'll smack you
Summat/Nowt - Something/Nothing
Happen I do - Perhaps/Maybe I do
Owt - Anything
Mysen/Yoursen - Myself or Yourself
So imagine how some Yorkshirians talk? You'll probably have difficulty understanding us lot.
Now I would like to share my life lessons, These are what I grew up with and I always stand by them especially as my Mother taught me the majority of what I use.
'If you don't have nothing nice to say then say nothing!'
'Do not judge A book by it's cover.'
'Treat others the way you would expect to be treated yourself'
'There is always someone worse off than you so be kind.'
'Everyone all has one thing in common - we are born then we live then die.'
'Don't be afraid to have a dream. Dream's come true and one day yours will too. Not necessarily today or tomorrow but one day in the future.'
'Karma is a bitch and will come back and bite those who are deserving of it'
'You should NOT have to hide who you are.'
'Aim high shoot low'
'Live your life the way YOU want to and don't let anyone tell you that you can't. You CAN and you WILL.'
'Where there is a will there is a way'
'Everyone makes mistakes so live and learn from them'
'If you don't ask then you don't get'
So there you go. I hope everyone is OK and having a great night. My next blog will be a short story as I love creative writing,creating characters and writing in general. <3
