"learn from your mistakes"
"treat other as you would want to be treated"
"an eye for an eye makes the world blind"
"if you love something let it go, if it comes back to you, its yours"
"for every door that closes, another door opens"
"that which does not destroy me, makes me stronger"
"that which does not destroy me, makes me stronger"
etc. etc. etc.
for all the years in my life, I've listened to what people have said, because every day, I was a student of life anxiously wanting to learn what people could teach me about it. I thought that by listening to people, I would be able to avoid making the same mistakes they did. I thought that if I could just learn how to live life without the obstacles, without getting hurt, without dealing with loss or pain, I would live an incredibly happy and perfect life. I have learned now that there is no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone lives life differently, and everyone has their own perspective on things... one man's junk is another man's treasure, one man's failure is another man's success, finders keepers, losers weepers. A perfect life is only how you want to view it to your own standards.

I'm 30 now, and realizing more than ever before, that life is too fucking short. Too fucking short for bullshit, too fucking short to worry about the past, too fucking short to listen to what other people have to say. People will lie to you, steal from you, and break your heart... that's just fucking life, and the more time you waste away worrying about why, what, and how they fucked you over, the less time you spend worrying about why, what, and how you can make yourself happy. The only person that truly knows anything that will help you in life... is you. Only you know what makes you happy, so do you, and quit waiting around for approval. Life is too fucking short to worry about "what if's, what could's, and what would's," like Nike said, Just Do It... SWOOSH!
Of all the things "they" say... as of late, none has been more applicable in my life than "everything happens for a reason"... and that reason is so that I can be happy. Some of you already know, the rest will find out, but I'm doing what I want because my heart, my mind, my soul, needs to. Some things are due for a change, and now is the time for me to make those changes... "prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them"... I know the friends I call family will support me, and the ones who want to judge, well...
as they say..."dont let the door hit you on the way out."
