8 Things I've Learned This Year...

-Patience. I tend to have a sharp tongue and little patience with anyone. Getting told I'm a moron and cussed out and asked what rock I crawled out from under because I dared to ask a woman "Would you like this sub toasted?" while at work… I didn't know I could stand there and smile -while she insulted my every breath for ten minutes. YAY ME 0.0
-That FTW means "For the win!". I thought it meant something else entirely until… two days ago? NICE TO KNOW.
-I've got a support team I didn't expect. I was so worried about making it through the college application process alone, but unexpected allies, women I consider friends who were once my teachers, have leapt to my aid. It warms my heart to know that they care that much about my future… and it makes me emotional, and grateful and uplifted… hard to explain :).
-Not eating for a day because you are lazy and don't feel like it is stupid. You will feel sick and weak. Trust me.
-Blogging isn't near as intimidating as I thought it would be (the many months I put off starting it!).
-That I might actually not be a terrible artist… when I was younger I took art class and drew a lot, and was good at it, but then at some point I stopped. Everything has inspired me to try again :).
-My friend (let's call him Henry, shall we?) is absolutely amazing. I've known that for longer than THIS year of course, but this has been an important year in my life and he's been there for me in ways no one else can. He and my mom are both my anchors, but having someone to really talk to about what is going on with my family and life and heart and soul… it is a wonderful feeling. Thanks for being there, through it all. You mean the world to me :).
-Muse is one of the most amazing bands of all time, on their albums AND LIVE (which means they have REAL talent).

In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying..."
