It has to get bad before it gets good.  Wound's heal with time. You've got to take responsibility for your own actions.

Ding ding ding! Same here.

But also that there is such a thing as being too open minded to the point where you lose opinion or sense of self.

There's too many things I've learned so I'll leave at that for now.

[Butterfly]

That it's never too late to do that things that will make you happy.

[LordKAT]

that I'm not worth much.

[tekla]

That in the end they can't pay you enough to do something you hate, and no amount is too low to do something you love.

When it rains, there is always a rainbow.  And if you look hard enough you find the pot of gold.



Optimistic for 2010,

I have learned that no matter how much I thought that someone loved me or cared about me, essentially I am alone.

Agreed. It comes back to enjoying life...it's short. Do what makes you happy, and don't do what doesn't make you happy.

No one can live life for you. Everyone has a purpose in this life. To be who you are.

Expect the worst, hope for the best, and you'll be okay.

[Ryuu]

That no matter how horrible it feels to have someone turn their back on you because of who you are, that if they can't accept you for you, they're not the kind of people I want to be around anyway.

(I know this in theory at least... I still miss my ex despite this)

[Walter]

That it's got to get better than this eventually

[K8]

That I see a lot more when I pay attention.

There is something new to learn nearly every day

[lisagurl]

You do not get out alive.

[tekla]

You do not get out alive.
Neither does anyone else.  So it kinda balances out that way.

1. I am not bisexual.
2. People are inherently self-interested, but this isn't necessarily bad.
3. Women, as a sex, are not out to hurt me.
4. I can take on a little more each day/week/month/year without buckling.
5. At some point, it may be better to be authentic than to be safe.
6. I can get by with a little help from my friends--and my therapist, at least for now.
7. The universe usually allows U-turns.
8. Think of it as an adventure.
