A One-Sided View

Time for a look back...

I can't believe it is almost January, where did the year go? So much has happened, and I have learned so much about myself this year.
Stuff I learned this year
1. All I ever need to be is myself
2. I have met some wonderful people
3. No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just can't get what you want
4. Just because you loose something, doesn't mean there is nothing you have gained
5. Harsh realities turn into wonderful memories once you are ready to let go, it just takes time
6. No matter how much you try to show someone something or teach them something, sometimes it just doesn't click
7. I am able to talk about AJ without getting upset every time
8. The best thing to do when you are hurting is to let go
9. Everyone has quirks

11. Everything happens for a reason, and you can always learn something from it
12. Wonderful relationships are made when two people can laugh
13. Gay men are absolutely wonderful *kisses to Austin* *kisses to Justin*
14. Patience is a gift, everyone eventually receives it. I recieved it when I started teaching
15. If I sit down and make myself do something I can no matter what is. I had no clue I could do webdesign.
16. SAI is wonderful, all my sisters are amazing
17. I really miss Cathleen, Elizabeth, and Jen when we are away at school
18. Just because I lost AJ, doesn't mean I have lost my second mother or second grandparents

30. Never ever lose sight of who you are
31. Tounge rings are fun
32. Smile during job interviews, it really makes you more comfortable
33. Open your eyes to the world, take everything in like it is the first and last time for everything

35. Hug you friends
36. Don't get behind on cell phone bills
37. Open your heart
38. Take your own path

41. Sleep is very important
42. Make sure everyone knows you love them
43. Try to make people feel special to you
