Things I Learned When I Was 21

March 25, 2008

1. Friends disappoint. It is inevitable. And when they do, I learned that I can get disillusioned pretty well.
2. I can’t hold a grudge against someone I love, but I do get disappointed. And I think it is better for me to get mad than be disappointed.
3. I can rely on my parents. But I will never be able to please them.
4. I dream of things to buy when I don’t have a lot of money, but when I do have money, I rarely buy anything.
5. Making lists help my tiny life.
6. As I grow older, I find that I long for things in my past. Nostalgia is very romantic.
7. ATMs are lifesavers.
8. You cannot drink alcohol and not let yourself be drunk. What’s the point?
9. Friends who love you will refrain from getting drunk just so they can take good care of you.
10. I rarely talk. If I can sustain a conversation with you that would last for at least two hours (without breaks), it means that we can be very good friends.
11. I believe I am a good woman. I also believe that I am a good friend.
12. I am attached to a lot of things (junk). That’s why if a fire starts in our house, I have taken the necessary precautions of identifying things to save, in specific order. In this list, the lives of my family is not included.
13. I can be by myself and it’s okay. Alone doesn’t mean lonely.
14. I can’t always get what I want. I know when to back out and not be stupid.
15. I hold people to their word.
16. If I was born a man, I would be gay. No doubt about it.
17. The only rock music I can really listen to for a long period of time is classic rock.
18. If I am brutally honest, it must be because I love you.
19. I learn a lot more from people by observing the tiniest little things.
20. More than half of my worries are useless. But I still worry anyway.
21. I can run away from something and never look back.
