 so yeah, i'm still young (for a little while longer).

I don't claim to know everything, in fact there are still miles for me to walk along the educational highway...

but there are things that you learn in a life filled with experiences, both hidden and obvious...

you can either gather them up and try to see the good in all of it...

or you can hide and run away and expect the worst of everything.

So here's a few nuggets of, albeit obvious, wisdom that I think some people just need to be reminded of.

-Lies will always, ALWAYS come back to kick you in the ass.  This goes for half-truths as well.  If you're going to lie, at least accept the repercussions of said deception.

-It's never good to owe anyone anything, but if you do owe someone something, pay them back.  In full.  As promised. If you never intend to pay anyone back, at least have the decency to say so in the beginning.  THEN DON'T TAKE THEIR MONEY.

-Sex is fun.  But it's also not fun when you fuck the wrong people.  Whether you believe it or not, you're now bonded with a human being that you may or may not ever want to see again.  Just remember that the next time you hop into bed with someone new.

-Hurting yourself will NEVER EVER solve any problems or erase the pain.  That relief that you feel will be but a passing moment and the scars will only remind you of your mistakes that took you there.  Instead of hurting yourself, why don't you help someone else.

-Everything is good in moderation.  Everything.  Moderation.  Even good things can turn bad when used in excess.

-You are not the only person that matters on the entire planet.  Other people do exist and whether you realize it or not, your actions affect several of those who are involved both directly and indirectly in your life.

-There is no prince charming.  There is no damsel in distress.  There is just you and people who could be compatible with you to make both your lives better.

-Early to bed, early to rise may not make you healthy, wealthy or wise immediately, but it helps in the long run.  Even if you HATE mornings like me, and despise getting up while it's still pre-noon, you feel alot more accomplished by the end of the day... and you may just actually be tired enough to sleep again!

-A degree isn't everything, but you can always benefit from learning something new every day whether or not it's laid out in a synopsis or course.

-If you wish for your life to be better, only you and you alone can make it better.  It doesn't take money or power or love, all it takes is you making your life better.  A concrete solid decision to move forward and not backward.

-Everybody falls.  Not everyone has someone else to pick them back up, so every once in a while you might have to pick your own ass off the floor.

-Cleanliness isn't godliness... but it sure as hell is nice.

-Ignoring your problems will not make them go away.  In fact, usually it makes them bigger and worse.

-Friends aren't always going to be nice to each other, but you know what?  Real friends aren't usually going for "nice" they're going for "real".

more to be added later...
