Life Lessons

Things I have learned over the past three years;

- Growing up is never easy, regardless of whom you are, what you do or how much money you make. Nobody is exempt from the stresses and strains that come with adolescence.

- Forgiveness is crucial. Argument is, to a degree, a healthy expression of true love. There is nothing wrong with arguing so long as you're prepared to apologize and make things right.

- You can never give too much. It's important to be grateful for the blessings in your life, however big or small. It doesn't matter how much money you make or how much time you have on your hands; we can all do our part. There is no excuse not to.

- Everybody should do Yoga.

- Sex is not shameful.

- There is nothing wrong with wearing heels. Granted I don't walk in them very well, but I do feel extremely graceful wearing them.

- I'm embarrassingly petite and always will be. Up until quite recently I was convinced that I was going to have this amazing 10-inch growth spurt. It didn't happen. My boobs were supposed to get bigger too.

- Being a woman sucks at times. Yes, I'm talking to you, Miss Monthly.

- Parents aren't perfect.

- Corresponding with the above, I am nowhere near ready to become a parent.

- I don't handle alcohol well.

- Cady Cross is a nutter. But a lovable one.

- Life is miserable without the people that matter.
