what I’ve learned

as I’m “growing up” I’m learning more and more shit that I’d like to pretend I didn’t know- not all of it sucks, just the mere fact that life was so much easier when you didn’t know squat. and when you didn’t have to pretend you did.

• i’ve learn that “life is short” now isn’t that just annoying as fuck? you know, you’re parents always said it…and blah blah. but then they are right (i hate that, but we will bounce back to that later on) i mean after all it IS the longest thing you’ll ever do..well knowingly, i suppose rotting away could probably take a while; but i’m pretty sure you’re not around for that. but all in all it’s pretty short. life that is. and people pop up and people pop down and you really have no control over it at all. ain’t that just a plum shame?

• i’ve learned that all those terrible things guys say about girls…you know, being pathetic and clingy and insane. ya that stuff. the stuff i spent my whole life arguing over…ya that’s true. all you gotta do is tell a lass ya love her and shes jello in your little plastic cup.

• i’ve learned that these bit grand plans we had don’t always pan out, and no matter what anyone says, you can’t do them later in life. i mean sure you can go to college at 67 but you can’t be 20 years old traveling the country with your dancing cat show (what?). sorry ‘bout your luck. we really only get one shot to not fuck this up. so choose wisely.

• i’ve learned that if it were legal to kill stupid people the population would go down severely.

• i’ve learned that no matter what you can’t tell a 16 year old girl ANYTHING they don’t want to know.

• i’ve learned that no one will EVER love you until -you- love you.

and no one will ever get to know you, or even care to- until you know you.

• i’ve learned to never let myself be anyone’s #2.

• i’ve learned i deserve the best. and i won’t take a damn thing below it.

• i’ve learned that despite what you think you’re family is all you have. and that doesn’t mean they all have to be blood. that just means your family, however you describe them.

• i’ve learned people HATE the truth, and they will do gosh darn near anything to avoid it. but honey child, you know it’s down there lurking like a herpes flair up- so own it…before it owns you.

• i’ve known that cat people are the best kind of people.

• i’ve learned no-one has ever been declared a winner for coming in 2nd…which seems pretty obvious, because you are, infact, not the winner. which pretty much makes you the loser. although i’ve never won a damn thing in my life, but it just sounds like something you’d say in a blog list like this one.

• i’ve learned you’re parents really do know a bunch of shit. which is sooooo annoying. but then again i feel like i know a bunch of shit, so it’s definitely an age thing. but ya, you should try listening to them every so often. unless of course they are in jail or addicted to meth. then i would pretty much do the exact opposite of what they say.

• i’ve learned a little vanity isn’t a bad thing. and the fellas sure do seem to enjoy it ;)

• i’ve learned that the people trying to shove their beliefs and thoughts down your throat are actually the people who know the littlest about what they are talking about.

• i’ve learned that it’s okay to be happy when the people around you aren’t.

i’ve learned i fucking rock. try to tell me otherwise.
