Absolute

There are some absolute truths that I have learned in my short time here on earth. I will share some with you now:


1. Money, in fact, doesn't grow on trees. You have to earn it. You have to work for it. And lots of it. Things are DAMN EXPENSIVE.


2. Life is not fair. Bad things are going to happen to good people and good things are going to happen to bad people. We just have to get over it.


3. Everyone dies. Yep, it's true. Even those that we think are made of steel, and invincible, at some point are going to pass on. It's true when "they" say "Life: No one get's out of it alive."


4. We are all going to face tragedy once or twice in our lives. It stinks, but it happens. Another thing I've learned about this? It is so much easier to go through those bad things when we have someone, or some people that help us through it. That don't walk away when we turn into ugly people after something bad has happened. They stick around and help us through it, even if the only help they can offer is to be there.


5. There is such thing as True. Unconditional. Love. For your family, (whether it be blood, or the family you have chosen) For your romantic partner, for your friends. You can find those people out there that love the crap outta you. No matter what. (I'm lucky enough to have found some myself)


Another thing that I have learned?


6. When you are trying to figure out the "Next Step" in your life, you are not going to get a big, obvious sign from God, or any other higher power telling you what to do. You have to pay attention to the little things that are happening all around you. There are little signs and little things that will tell you that you are going in the right (or wrong) direction...


...I just wish I could see some of those right now, cuz I sure could use some signs.......
