i have learned so much in the last few years. i learned that not everyone will love you back. and sometimes, you will be loved but you don't feel the same way back & i mean i guess that is common sense...but to actually live it out & feel all those different emotions it feels sooo... strange. i also learned that friends can hurt you so badly. you hear these 7th graders and all their drama & crap.. well... what happened to me in my middle school years with my best friend was unimaginably horrid... nothing like 7th grade drama. but i guess in the end it was okay because it brought me closer to this girl named Lily who is now my best friend... another good thing that came from that? It gave me my youthgroup that I go to now because of Lily.. I met my boyfriend thru Lily... I learned that some people can make one mistake and it can ruin their lives forEVER... so you HAVE to be careful of what you do in ur life. I learned that it's never a good idea to get drunk when your parents are out & you don't know how to drink. I also learned that guys can be jerks... but they can also be respectful and truly can be capable of love... of real love.. LIFE ^_^ I feel like i am soooo much older than just-turned-16... it's weird.. i feel like i have experienced alot more than alot of 16 year olds i know have... but then again there is alot i havent experienced yet.. and if i were really open & very honest i'd say alot of things right now.. but i'd rather be somewhat closed... ahaha (: good day -holly nicole the arteest aha (;
