  Was reading through my old livejournal and I found this:  a list of the things I learned during my grade 10 year.
 -  Don't trust too easily,  it'll come back and bite you right in the ass -  Just because people listen doesn't mean they care -  There are a LOT of fake people in high school,  especially in grade 10 -  There's a difference between a truly good &  trustworthy friend and someone you can just have a good time with -  People will go very far to get attention -
 Getting stabbed in the back hurts -  Trust builds up slowly and over time but can be broken in a matter of seconds -  Not everybody lies-  Fighting with your best friend sucks-  Boys lie-  Don't go looking for everything,  sometimes if you just sit back,  what you're looking for will come to you -  If your gut says don't do it .
 FOR GOD'S SAKE,  DON'T DO IT!  Your own intuition is probably the most accurate feeling ever -  Don't get too attatched to anything/ anyone because eventually,  it/ they will walk out of your life as quickly as they walked in & nbsp;  What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger -  If you pull through,  everything will be ok in the end -  There is an easy way out of everything shitty,  but the tougher road has so many more rewards -
 You will never be perfect -  Sometimes,  friendships are better than sexual relationships -  You just have to shake some things off -  Forgive,  but never forget -  Tequila's disgusting -  Friends come and go,  but there will always be a few AWESOME ones that stick around -  You know they're a keeper when you can tell them anything and they won't pass judgement -  The greatest things show up in the most unexpected places -  Sometimes,  all you need is a good hug -
 Even the shittiest days have something good to them -  When life is just sucking major ass,  you will eventually reach a point where you can't go any lower and things will begin to look up -  Life is never stable,  everything is always changing -  People ( and their morals)  CHANGE ( not disappear)  even you ( and yours)
 -
 Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger about your problems -
 If you've made a bad first impression on someone,  it's veeery hard to redeem yourself -  Life is so much easier when you're not trying to be somebody you're not -  Change isn't always bad -  Don't turn the wheel too far when turning or you'll hit a boulevard -  Things aren't always what they seem -  Everything happens for a reason So a lot of these things contradict what I'm doing now.  For example,  I know I'll never be perfect so why do I keep trying in the most wrong way?  I don't know.  I've learned all these things,  but for some reason I keep trying to change the facts.  So yes,
 I know all these things are true but I just don't want to accept it.  On another note .  still just trying to be me.  Trying to find my place in the world.  Kinda lost.  Kinda ok with that.
