1. If you're a breathing organism, and you're certainly not a co-author... hi! Wow we do have actual readers yay!
2. I learned that a) pleasing others may please you too; but many times that just can't happen, and it's tiring to delay your own happiness for the bunch that will only take you for granted.
b) you can never fully say that you understand what it feels like to be in somebody (else)'s shoes.. unless you're, well.. the one owning the pair (of shoes).
c) friendship is tricky.
3. I need beneficial distractions.
