It's over now. My adolescent life is nearing it's end. My days of required listening to adult figures or "facing the consequences" are being reduced (laws are still in effect). I have GRADUATED!!! I look back at my whole life since elementary school and I know it's unchangeable and that it's now a base for my future.
I have regrets, certainly. Show me someone who doesn't and I will show you a very arrogant person. However, I also have many many good memories of my life in my little town and elsewhere. Sometimes when my little demon is messing with me I can't alway recall the good times as well, but I know they were there and I suspect I will recall them better as I move on with life.
...
This year I learned a lot. Obviously from my classes, but more besides about life skills. I'll put a few here for kicks and giggle.
-succumbing to a fear of embarrassment can kill a chance for glory or fun
-Don't assume that people don't want to talk to you or else eventually they probably won't
-No matter what you do, someone will complain about it. Ignoring these people makes life very good
-A heartbreak with a salt shake is a very real and long-lasting pain, but...
-Dwelling on past wrongs doesn't help. While you think bad things, the other guy's out dancing
-Love is real
-So is jealousy, but it will haunt you if you give into it
-Miracles can happen, but sometimes they need a little push
-If someone needs help fast, don't hesitate. Ever.
-Swing dancing is fun! (I've known this for awhile, it's just been reaffirmed)
That's my learning for the year, a condensed form (of course there's more) if any of it applies to you, then... umm... cool
