Things i've realized:

1. Fuck being polite to people who don't care about you.
2. Know the difference between giving up and letting go.
3. Do what you want but don't be reckless when other people are involved.
4. There IS a difference between being selfish and loving yourself.
5. Take your time, stop rushing to get everywhere (you miss a lot of stuff that way).
6. Money does NOT equal happiness 
7. Act how you want to feel
8. Dessert will ALWAYS, ALWAYS make you feel better :)
9. Things aren't always easy, but you have to take some time, dedication and hard work to get through them.  "THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH"
