I've come to realize...

...that life is a massive pain in the ass at times but worth every single interesting minute.

...that being a friend is never easy.

...that parents don't always have the answer but have learned to bullshit their way through the question.

...that life goals can be altered in the middle of attaining them.

...that an education may be priceless but it cost a hell of a lot of money.

...that siblings are what keep you sane when dealing with parents.

...that your nieces and nephews make up for all the shitty things your siblings did to you grow up.

...that a relationship needs more than sex and conversation.

...that a good bottle of wine can make all your problems disappear until you reach the bottom of the bottle.

...that a sunny day will put a smile on your face even as the tears fall.

...that a rainy night will make a good nights sleep even better.

...that a road trip with out a soundtrack is a waste.

...that the most beautiful sights you will ever see will never be duplicated in the picture.

...that the love you have to share will never be given back the same way.

...that sex is fun unless you aren't having any.

...that a prayer doesn't always bring comfort but it makes you feel like you're doing something.

...that procastination leads to awesome naps.

...that life is way more than the places you go, the people you meet, and the love you share.

...that dreams are completely reachable but not always as nice as you think they will be.

...that friendship is a two-way street that you always feel you work at harder than the other person.

...that even though they don't want you it isn't the end of the world.

...that secrets are never easy to keep and sometimes hard to share.

...that gossip makes the world go round.

...that politics will never be agreed on.

...that worship doesn't have to be in a church or even on sacred ground.

...that your favorite place on Earth can be a 100 different places.

...that music is a balm to my soul.

...that snowboarding is so much easier than organic chemistry.

...that the time I spent before school taught me just as much.

...that a song can bring back a memory that you thought was buried so deep nothing would make you remember it.

...that the summertime makes me wish I was ten years old again.

...that trying to be perfect is way too much work.

...that wintertime in the South makes me feel my age.

...that shopping drains my bank account but makes me happy.

...that the beach is a peacefully place.

...that the mountains make me remember that there is a God.

...that a bloody mary instead of church is perfectly acceptable.

...that judgement is easy to pass but hard to accept.

...that understanding doesn't always mean you get it.

...that water really does purify a soul.

...that nothing replaces family.

...that lies come off the tongue easily but are hard to hear.

...that you can't make life easy.

...that love is never simple.

...that pain is sometimes welcome because it means you can still feel.

...that heartache hurts more when it is family.

...that you being happy means that others around you might have to hurt.

...that going home isn't always easy but it is almost always worth it in the end.

...that you should be your biggest fan and your loudest critic because you know the truth about yourself.

...that a whisper can be louder than a scream.

...that even happy tears have their roots in pain.

...that comments on a blog lets the writer know if you find her life interesting.
