What I've learned Wednesdays...

1) If I'm being completely honest with myself Brian is always going to be one of my best friends. (I do realize the sheer wierdness factor of that statement.) You can't really argue or talk yourself out of the friendships that life gives you. You accept them. You remember to be thankful for them. And you don't dwell on the whole we shouldn't be friends it's kind of weird factor. Having true friends that you love and care about the same as family... that's priceless!

2) Decisions and choices are rarely ever black and white sort of things. There's always a million shades of gray in the middle.

3) Someone thinking that I am wrong is sometimes worse for me than actutally being wrong.

4) Gunmetal gray is my current fave nailpolish color and I'm totally digging my new black with silver skulls tank top I just bought for $5.17

5) I want more in life than I currently have. (But then again doesn't almost everybody?)

6) It's really 4am on a Sunday and I'm about to hit publish post on a "What I've learned Wednesdays..." title. Oh well... sometimes you've got to expand your horizons and bend the rules just a little so here's a "What I've learned Wednesday" on a "I shouldn't be up this freaking early Sunday."

Love this!!!

After a while you learn the subtle difference

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

And company doesn't mean security

And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises

And you begin to accept your defeats

With your head held high and your eyes wide open

With the grace of a woman and not the grief of a child

After awhile you learn to build your roads on today

Because tomorrow's ground is to uncertain for plans

And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight

After awhile you learn that even sunshine

Burns if you get too much

So you plant your garden

And decorate your own soul

Instead of waiting

For someone to bring you flowers

And you learn that you really can endure

That you really are strong

And you really do have worth

And you learn and learn... and you learn

With every goodbye you learn
