August 2007 half yearly review.

2007

I've learned you have to be careful what you wish for.

I've found that having patience will change your life.

I've learned you can't live anyone else's life for them; they're going to fuck up their own life and in someway you will fuck up yours, but in the end you will both learn. On your own, independently, they way God intended it.

I've learned that there will be hills and valleys of happiness, sometimes just instances. I've learned I'm lucky if I have anything and to shut the fuck up when I'm frustrated I don't have more. There's never enough.

I've learned what it means to have a genuine, honest relationship with one's family.

I've found that people you keep close to your heart will lie to you, to save themselves the embarrassment of having to tell the truth. I've learned this isn't about me. This is about them.

I've learned that as soon as you get settled, something will inspire you to sell it all and run away. This is never a good idea.

I've learned not to want anything too much. In the end, everything goes away.

I've been taught that two people can connect in a single endless night, in a way that some people can't even do in a relationship lasting years.

I've learned you have to let friends go, they're not gone, but they have to go- just like at one point, I did too.

I've learned life is way more expensive than what I would have agreed to upon signing the "you're a grown up now" manual and contract sheet.

I've learned I may need to lift my ban on sunscreen.

I've learned that if you buy a ridiculously expensive rug, your cat is going to puke on it no matter what. He/she does not have any concept of money or carpeting.

I've found that if you find your boss' kids on myspace, you should save on your personal computer those pics they posted of themselves half naked in Cabo. Those will come in handy.

I've learned that a wedding is as much about the people paying for it, as the one's in it.

I've found that if you buy a house, and that house has overhead fans controlled by remote- YOU SHOULD LEAVE THEM THERE WHEN YOU MOVE OUT! Why screw a sista over?

I've found that the best foreplay is intense and passionate conversation between two people that push each other to be better than the things they already know.
