What I've learned from 2008

There is SO MUCH that I've learned during this fine year of 2008. Here's a list of things I've encountered which helped shape and mold me into the fine young woman that I am today.

- your Ex's DO end up having kids with other folks and you'll find out through MySpace (thanks MySpace....the ultimate relationship deal-breaker)

- Valentines Day can be celebrated during your lunch hour and you cannot go back into the office wasted thinking that you'll be able to function as if you're sober

- You're heart can be broken more than 1 time by the same person if you let it happen

- If you get dumped, don't go get wasted at the bar every night of the week with friends. Not only will you not be as productive as you once WERE, but you could also end up in the ER and loose your Gallbladder......(yes this happened).

- It can take up to 8 months of you aggressively looking for a new position before you actually land one that you want, even during a recession.

here comes the more uplifting things:

- YES WE CAN!!! You can watch someone you voted for (after loosing two elections to the dumbest man on earth), WIN AND BEGIN TO CHANGE THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN

- You can give as much as you can to those that need it more than you even when you're not rich in any shape or form, you're still doing better than almost ANYONE ELSE in the world. I can prove this theory because you're reading this at a computer......does everyone have access (even if it's not your own) to a computer??? NOT EVERYWHERE.

- You can learn from your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who will tell you the things that matter in the world and put you back in your place.

- You can find the strength to keep on doing what you do best and be the best person you can for yourself and whoever is close to you in your life....in the end, there's always hope and change. You'll get to live to see that happen in your life too.
