And in the night we'll wish this never ends, we'll wish this never ends

So another year is rapidly drawing to a close, and as per tradition I like to look back on all I've learned this year.
If you fuck with the law enough it will fuck you (not learned personally)


Never make any major decissions while intoxicated, you will live to regret them


Death and life are like the 7th Harry Potter book...even though it's technically over, I refuse to believe that it will ever really end


We make mistakes to teach us something, so every mistake we make is worth it in the end


Friends come from unexpected places


Distance means nothing, if you love some one (romantically or platonically) you're never really apart


20 years is old enough to be allowed into family decisions that used to be made by the "adults"


Dealing with my family (immediate and extended) might be more difficult than peace talks in the middle east.


This year has been one mixed with everything. In some respects I've had some of the greatest times of my life, and some of the worst. Mortality became a big issue in the latter part of the year, and honestly it's truely the first time I've ever really had to deal with it. As always I'm still searching for my meaning in life and my place in the world, but I really do feel that after all that has happened to me in the last year I might be closer to finding it. Of course I had to fall back in to old bad habits to realize all of this, but eventually I'm going to get to the point where I don't have to keep picking myself back up all the time because I won't fall as often.
