documentaion of life

What can I say as a person who has lived 23 years of ups and downs of emotions and events.

1. Pain gives great potential for you to do amazing things.
2. Friends come and go, but it doesn't make any of them less valuable while they were with you.
3. The same way you embrace joyful and happy moments...embrace the suffering and difficult moments too.
4. Most of the things that we think are a "big deal" in our daily lives, probably are not.
5. Our parents are a LOT smarter than we thought.
6. Everyone should experience heartbreak at some point. I believe it's healthy and part of growing up.
7. Years really do get shorter and shorter, don't waste them.
8. ..and contrary to #7... Take your time to figure out yourself and life. There is pressure, but remember #4.
