My mom often tells me that the only person you can look out for is yourself, and the most important persons happiness on the planet is that of your own, and ultimately the most important thing in your life is to make yourself happy...and that you cant make the decisions that make you the happiest based on anyone but yourself.

It took me 23 years and having this run through my ears several times to realize it, but my mom is the smartest person on the whole fucking planet.

Sometimes i think I am bound to learn lessons the hard way. I also learn these lessons at the last possible moment.

Having said all of that, this year has been real good for me.
