Today I realized that:

--I can show someone that good-byes don't always have to be a bad thing.
--my addiction to chocolate is way more serious that I originally thought.
--while we build up emotional walls to keep out the bad (rejection, fear, pain) we are also blocking out the good (love, trust, opportunities).  Take a chance on both.
--sometimes I smile so much my cheeks hurt.
--the brain and body are amazingly resilient.  If you want them to be.
--you MUST give yourself the opportunity to soak things in.  If you are always looking towards'"the next big thing", you are not fully concentrating on how awesome right now is.
--when things get awkward, you just have to laugh.
--everyone is so uniquely beautiful in their own funny way.
