I'm a big fan of letting life roll and simply enjoying the ride. Of taking in the experiences, good or bad, and learning from them. Sometimes it's an easy lesson; sometimes it breaks you. Sometimes you're grateful to make it out alive. At some point, you have to hit the brakes, or hit the wall. Or both. What good is real experience if you don't take just a little time to evaluate it?
I also really believe in being true to, and listening to yourself. And that's where I sometimes get tripped up. I'll ride out a situation long after I know it's a bad gig, just to see if maybe something will get better around the next curve. Lesson: it probably won't.
Having said all that, these past couple months have provided more insight, experience, lessons, fun, and pain than I thought possible. It's exhausting, but I love it. Thank you to those who force me into experience and self evaluation. Thank you to those who keep me grounded. Thank you to those who know I need honesty, not pandering. And thank you to those who say what makes me feel better, even when we both know it's crap.
I really do have the best friends in the world.
