If your xanga has the virus, please leave me a note. or if you know you're safe. until i get a list of where to go/ not go, i'm not going to be checking any xangas. sorry.
Okay, so my original plan was 100, but i got lazy.
Things I've learned in 2005
1) You
can miss people that you see everyday
2) Parents
aren’t really that bad
3) The
Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776
4) Sleep
isn’t a priority
5) Friends
are there to help you through hard times so that you’re not all alone.
6) God’s
love is truly amazing/wonderful/indescribable
7) Sometimes
all you have to do to help somebody is listen and care
8) If
you push yourself, you can achieve things you didn’t think possible, but in the
end it’s worth it.
9) I
would never be able to have a good party because I’m too much of a control
freak.
10) The
Perks of Being a Wallflower is the best book I’ve ever read.
11) Friends
change
12) When
unforeseen obstacles change your plans don’t fight them, work with them.
13) Walking and
kayaking are great things to do when you want to do intense thinking and figure
things out.
14) Science is
never going to be a fun experience.
15) Things can
always get worse
16) Things can
always get better
17) The Way to Begin is the song that
basically expresses me.
18) Just being
yourself raises self esteem.
19) Sometimes
when you’re having a bad day a really good hug can make it all better. Not like a “hi” hug, a real “I love you, it’s
going to be okay, and I’m here for you” hug.
20) People are
really good at hiding how they really feel.
21) Very few
people are honest with even themselves.
22) Driving is
not as fun as you think it is when you’re a kid.
23) It’s okay
to be wrong.
24) Being able
to make people laugh is the best quality above all.
25) Highlighting
quotes in a good book makes them personalized.
26) Keeping a
“Feel Good folder” full of cards, notes, pictures, etc from friends really does
make you feel better when you’re having a lousy day.
27) Jeremiah 1:
4-10 still gives me chills every time I read it, even though I’ve read it
hundreds of times.
28) Kirsten and
Christy and maybe a few others are going to go look that up right now.
29) It’s okay
to not be perfect, the only thing that matters is how hard you try.
30) Don’t be
afraid to take a chance, that chance may never come again
31) Don’t live
in the past, you miss the present.
32) The same
goes for the future.
33) I love my
friends more than they will ever know.
34) A lot of
people who say that nobody understand them are all going through the same
thing, they just don’t take the time to look around at others lives because
they’re too focused on themselves. (not to be rude)
35) Sometimes
you have to be more than a support, you have to help pick somebody back up.
