What I learned in 08

. HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20!!2. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side; what you want isn't always what you get.3. Love is one of those inexplainable forces; you cannot disguise love for long where it exists or stimulate it where it does NOT!!4. You must learn to ACCEPT the things that you cannot change; there is no point to get upset or stress out about things that are beyond your control.5. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.6. TRUE LOVE is being able to love someone UNCONDITIONALLY and being able to get through ANY and EVERYTHING, the good and the BAD!! You must take them as they are and fully accept them, FLAWS AND ALL!!7. Once again, (Ladies) TRUST your female intuition! Nine times out of ten, you are RIGHT!! 8. Love can find you in the most unexpected place at the MOST UNEXPECTED TIME!!9. Drowning yourself in alcohol only serves as a temporary relief to your problems! Don't try to change yourself for a relationship that is NOT meant to be!!10. Gossip ALWAYS causes unnecessary DRAMA!! "He Say/She Say" is for children; we are ADULTS, therefore we should GROW UP and act like it!11. There is NO POINT to feud with or have hatred in your heart for the "other woman/other man" because one: its STUPID and two: your anger should NOT be centered at each other because you are NOT the ROOT of the problem; your "lover" is indeed the ROOT, so be angry with him or her!12. Facebook is the devil in disguise!! 13. If you have something to say, then send a personal message; do not be a punk and write it in someone's HONESTY BOX!! (That is super WHACK!!)14. Trust is very easy to lose and so hard to gain!15. The sun WILL indeed shine again after the storm, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc. (You get the picture!)16. You must ALWAYS have a PLAN! Even a plan B!! And maybe even and plan C and D!!17. Loving someone and being IN LOVE with someone are two different things; do not confuse the two!18. We are well aware that by a certain age, we ALL have "baggage" but you should never bring "baggage" into a new relationship; you should cut off any old "ties" before bringing someone new in the picture because it can lead to many problems!19. If a man wants you, NOTHING can keep him away; if he doesn't want you, NOTHING can make him stay!!20. EVERYONE has some sort of insecurity! (Big or small)21. Sometimes its not about what you know but definitely about WHO you know!!22. You cannot change a man's behavior; change comes from within. The only person you can control in a relationship is YOU!!23. You should always know when to WALK AWAY!! There are only so many chances you can give someone and in the end, you'll find that it wasn't worth the time, energy or stress!! Don't stay because you think "it will get better"; you'll be mad at YOURSELF for staying when things are NOT better!24. You really learn something new about yourself on the daily basis; we are all very simple yet so complex in our own ways. 25. You will NOT please everyone!! And there is NO point in trying to!! 26. EVERYONE (even the sweetest person in the world) has a "selfish" side to their personality! 27. If GOD brings you to it, he will INDEED get you through it!!! EVERYTHING he puts us through is a test!! 28. And just like last year, EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE REALLY DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON!!!Life is full of many experiences and with EVERY experience, there is ALWAYS A LESSON LEARNED!! (Big or small)
