saving your money is actually a good idea because you never know whats around the corner.
 
Save your money.
Becareful about who you let know where you live.
Don't think that there you are smarter than everyone else around you (thinking that nothing bad will happen to you)
No matter how much a female says she loves don't always take it to heart (I really should have listened to myself on this one)
All of these things where in the back of my mind, but I did not care to follow them. I had my own apartment, was able to keep up with my bills, had extra money coming in ;) , but when I did not follow these things my I hit rock bottom, one of my apartments got broken into my guns, electronics, and other things were taken, so I moved to another apartment, and I met or or so thought I met the women of my dreams, that took a wrong turn, and made me turn my back on some of my friends and later that ended up making my give up my apartment, roommates moved out, my girl left me for one of my friends, I ended up wrecking my truck (which I got 6/2002 brand new off the dodge lot in 8/2002) I ended up moving back home with the parents. After all of this I have learned my lesson, and will do my best not to let this happen again. Things are starting to look better now that I have started to listen to myself. Got damn it was a bad year :(
 
that bad things will happen...but will eventually come right.
That having love in my life is really important
That i need people
That the friends that i've met through BL have become some of the best friends i've had and that they are all really special
That my family is amazing
That seuss is the most amazing person i have ever met!

Learnt in the last year and recently -
* Friendship is a very fragile thing - once the trust is broken it's very difficult to regain that trust. And never ever talk to a friend while you're sober and they're not quite - because then you'll be burdened by what you've confided in them and what they've told you ~ simply put you'll remember what they promised, while they get away easy with remembering nothing.
* Whatever the reason given for something that happened, if your concerns are voiced and still not given a thought - it's not worth the effort.
 
I’ve learnt
That people really worth your time, effort and love are few and far between. It's a cycle tho, you love, get hurt, you care, get hurt, you trust, get hurt, but you don't stop. I often say that I’d love to be cold, to find some way to harden my heart, but in truth I don’t, this is life, you've got to feel it not just breeze through it encapsulated by your own fears.
That what I need and what I want are very different things and sometimes what I want is difficult to obtain but what I need is always there.
That love comes in all shapes and forms and the idealistic existence we dream of from childhood exists within our reality, we’re just not open enough to see it.
That you can should spend each day with your feet firmly planted on the ground, yet still allow for time with you head in the clouds.
Not to fear my gifts, although at times they may seem to be a curse, I’m gifted thus for a reason and it’d be a crime to ignore it.
And that \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
 
I've learned more and more to go further into myself to change outside, to look within deeper and deeper and change my mind and my thinking every single moment of the day .. (:
That's all I've learned and all I hope to continue learning! (:
 
- If you're going to be spending the night in a jail holding cell try to get into a cell by yourself because then you'll have your own roll of toilet paper to use a pillow when you sleep
- It's time to stop driving when you find yourself stumbling back into the conscious world after you head droops down and smacks the steering wheel
- Don't worry about your parents expectations, even if not meeting them makes them cry, piss, and moan. At some point you have to tell them to fuck off and let you make your own mistakes.
- Don't let boys beat up girls
- Well, unless she really deserves what's coming to her
 
I have learned that the most important thing in life is to be happy. I realised that it is pointless being upset or depressed, might as well do whatever makes me happy.
 
Wow, some of those lessons learned were really inspiring. I certainly had a banner year for drama, chaos, and growing up in general. This is the most important thing that I learned:
*There is no "good" and no "bad", there is only experience. We must garner all that we can from it.
Also:
*You KNOW whether or not you love someone.
*My problems will always diminish in size when compared to the awe of Nature.
*Nothing beats going with your gut. Over-analyzing can be detrimental.
*People don't notice my imperfections as much as I do.
 
-i will never be happy with my career choicecs
-often, i can only rely on myself for stability
 
I got a few more:
1. Keep copys of all paper work, especially probation forms. so you can't be questioned on them afterwards.
2. Don't lend money to people. Often you won't get it back.
3. Don't let anyone ever make you feel bad or guilt trip you.
4. Be wise with your money and save it for that rainy day. The rainy day will come.
5. Network. Be good to people you work with especially your bosses, and they will help you in the future.
6. (Probably should be #1) Be Assertive. You won't get anywhere or anything if you are not assertive.

I second that!
Also:
~Don't have too many expectations.
~Keep promises.
~Sometimes you have to let go no matter how hard it seems.
~Never stop smiling, its amazing what it does to you and every1 around you.
~Theres nothing wrong with being single.
~Get sleep while you can cuz you'll miss it when you can't!
~My friends really are my 'family'.
~One of the most important things I'm lookin' for in a boyfriend is maturity.
~Forever may not really be forever.
~That I want to be a organ donor. (btw, I am now)
~Don't let people push you around.
~Pretending to be someone you're not to fit in will not make you feel like you fit in.
~"We walk by faith, not by sight" *and it doesn't have to apply to spirituality cuz thats not how I'm looking at it
~New experiences and new people are the whole point of living.
~"The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out." -Lord Macaulay
~Just because you're not *in* love with someone doesn't mean you don't love them.
~Always be there for people, and hopefully they'll be there for you.
~Don't hide your feelings. Always let others know where you stand. -fortune cookie
All in all my number one would be:
*~No-one ever promised you tomorrow.~*
 
*People never listen to my advice, even when I'm right (which is most of the time)
*Don't make the decision to trip after getting drunk
*Working in the construction trade during the winter sucks big floppy donkey dick
*It's 10x easier to scratch a CDR
*Roadtrips are greatness
*The NE Bluelighters are fawkin awesome
*Never go to another SOE party
 
*I need people around me to be happy
*When you are told one thing over and over, you actually believe it even when you thought you never could.
*Silence can be both good and bad, some of us need to learn when it is ok to be quiet and others need to know when its not ok.
*Work can be fun and rewarding
 
Variety is more than important in practically everything in life and a key to happiness for me.
That I want someone to completely know me
That suffering pays off most of the time
