Yeah, so it's a week late. I wanted to do one anyway.
1. You're not that important. Don't act like it.So you think you're hot shit? No. You may mean the world to someone, but let them show it, not you. You're not better than anyone else, and you don't deserve more than they do. And if you act like you are, you're only going to fuck up the best things you have. Don't neglect everything you need, but don't disregard what the people who love you need, either.
2. Relationships take work.I don't care if you've been together for 263 years, never stop working for your relationships. You may think you don't have to do shit anymore, and that the other person will just deal with it, but really, they won't. They may for a while, but in the end they're going to do what you're driving them to and get the fuck out. And you'll never see it coming.
3. School actually IS important.Not showing up to class and never turning anything in is not gonna let you keep any scholarships you might have. Seems like common sense, huh? Not so much.
4. Balance is good.Focusing every single bit of your life on one person or thing is just going to end badly. Whether it's a significant other, your friends, your family, a job, school, whatever. You can't just live for the one thing, or you're not going to be able to keep everything you need. Don't focus everything on friends and completely ignore school or work. Don't give everything to your boyfriend or girlfriend and forget about your friends. Trust me, it's not going to work.
5. People, in general, are lying, backstabbing, assholic little bitches.Yes, you. And yes, me too. And every other human being on this planet. Do I really need to elaborate more?
6. No matter how much you think your life depends on one person, it doesn't.You're just so in love with that one person, and you'll absolutely die without them. No, you won't. Will you want to? Yes. But you won't. It'll hurt like hell, and you may or may not really ever get over it, but you'll still go on. Hey, it's better than the alternative.
I know I've learned a lot more in the past year, but these are the things that stand out right now. I may add more later.

You are one step closer to enlightenment, friend.

Some very tough, and painful lessons you've learned. These are ones you'll never forget. Most of us learned them the exact same way you learned them, and it sucks. Hugs!
