What I've learned thus far

1. Life IS too short.
2. Tastes WILL change.

5. My thoughts affect my feelings, and my feelings affect my behavior.
6. People become better.
7. It's OK to give someone another chance.
8. I do not have to take crap from ANYONE, even myself.
9. It's not what happens to you, but HOW you deal with what happens to you that matters.
10. Life (and your character) cannot be defined by a single moment.
11. Learn from the mistake, or you will keep making the same mistakes.
12. You ALWAYS have a choice.
13. By refusing to move beyond a situation or problem, you are making the problem much more important than it really is.
14. It's OK to let go.
15. I have more than enough.
