This life is about learning. Learning who we are and what it is we are meant to do.
When I was struggeling in school my mom sat me down and we talked about what was wrong. I was a teenager. I knew everything. Therefore I couldn't understand why I was failing. That's when we realized my problem. I was going through the motions, sitting in class and listening to every word the teachers said... but I wasn't taking notes. I just knew everything, ya know? But when I started taking notes my grades improved. So I've continued that idea into daily life. I like to look back on the past few months alone and see what I've learned. Some are quotes, lyrics, stories, lessons and maybe a few random things. This is my blog after all, a little sight into my mind, where random things roam free and live happily ever after!
So far I've learned....
