Life Lessons
* My parents and brother mean more than the world to me. They have been here for me through thick and thin. They have supported me in all the good decisions I have made and constructively criticized the bad decisions. I love it when they call me just to say "hi I love you" and to see if I'm feeling alright. Their quirkiness makes me love them even more, especially when I realize where I got it from.
* I'm sexy no matter what size my body is or what it looks like. In this past year, I have fluctuated up and down in weight approximately 50 pounds. I have gone from ultra curvy to thin, from bodacious tatas to regular sized tatas. I have a
scarred belly now and other random scars all over my body. And you know what? I'M FUCKING HOT!!! I'm not going to let anyone else tell me otherwise.
* Being true to myself is the key to my success. I've tried for too long to be someone that I wasn't. I've come to realize that I will ALWAYS be a bookworm, I will ALWAYS be a ski bum, and I will ALWAYS love to write. Nothing is going to change that. I will be "Jules, the bookwormy weird writer of short stories radical skiier". Now, try and categorize THAT.
* There is so much more to life than alcohol. I'll admit that before I was sick, it's almost all I thought about. I'd schedule my classes around if I was going to be hungover or not, I'd take trips to places to get drunk, and I'd budget my money for at least three trips to the bar a week. I like to look at my sickness as a gift because it has made me appreciate the better and finer things of life. Plus, I have more money, I'm never hungover, and I feel so much more healthy.
* I hit the jackpot. I have the best boyfriend in the entire world. He supports me all the time. He was there at my bedside every single day when I was sick. He has changed his lifestyle to help me. He buys me books to contribute to my book-worminess. He cuddles with me when I want cuddling, goes skiing with me, and cooks me fabulous meals. I have it made!! I love you...
* Not worrying about everything helps my stress levels go down dramatically. I used to flip out about everything, especially financial problems. Granted, I still have financial problems, but I've learned that I can't sit and worry about it all the time. I only have one life, why spend it worrying about my checkbook?
* Treat every day as thought it is your last. If I have the opportunity to do something, I'm going to do it instead of wish I had done it. It's a possibility that tomorrow could be my last, but I'm not going to worry about it. I want to visit every place that I can, experience everything that is possible, and live my life to it's fullest.
Well I have wrapped up my valuable life lessons from this past year. This year has been the most trying year I have ever experienced. I'm hoping and wishing for a better 2005 because seriously...it's due time for some good news. Now everyone do the same in your blog!!!
