Something I keep forgetting


(lol)
(don't turn your sound up too high)

Some of the things I wish I had known yesterday and tomorrow:

Ice cream is not fun after more than one serving.

I can do a lot of things well.

Other people do not get to choose how I feel and think.

If I spend no time investing in what I actually care about, of course I am miserable.

While it is sometimes necessary to identify that someone else is "wrong", I am in danger of awakening a horrible arrogance every time I do so.

I get approximately one moment of how things are just now, and then it is gone.

I hate everything when I start comparing myself with other people.

Nothing my internal stubborn, hedonistic, terrified, crusted cynic demands will introduce a scrap of lasting enjoyment or peace.

Being alive as the person I am in the world I'm in with the God who got me... is awesome.

Oh, Amanda, here is so much truth and wisdom in one little, humble blog entry. This needs publishing.
