In my twenty years of life....
***I stumbled on a whole bunch of stories and poems that I've been writing for the past few years, and I came across this one that I wrote sometime in the summer.***
I've learned that I am not the greatest person all the time.
That not everyone believes what I believe.
That the people around me care for me and love me more than I think.
That all that has happened to me has happend for a greater cause or reason.
That just because my immediate world stops it doesn't mean the world around me will too.
That looks aren't everything and they mean very little later in life.
That money is just an excuse.
That jealousy is a wasted emotion.
That friends influence me more than I know.
That I have hurt some peope that I wish I hadn't
That I've lost the trust of some of the people that matter most.
That I've gained the trust of some I never thought I would.
That joining a fraternity has been one of the best things in my life.
That college is one of the best times to have, take it slow and live it up.
That losing my scholarship to an injury didn't terminate my college career.
That maybe I should tell those that I love, I love them, they might not be here for me to say it tomorrow.
That poetry is a great way to release anger.
That sometimes bad things happen for a greater reason.
That I don't always listen when I should.
That I don't talk as much as I should.
That expressing emotions helps to make decisions with a significant other.
That I am glad that I am me.
That even though I regret, I understand that I can not change the past.
That in which I have learned in the past will help me make wiser decisions in the future.
That I am not perfect, but I will attempt to be the best that I can be.
In these twenty years of life, I have learned that nothing always goes as planned, but I realize that knowing this is the next step in life. Accepting it and living it and moving on will help to make me all the wiser.
