Any Man Who Knows A Thing Knows He Knows Not A Damn, Damn Thing At All

^take a minute-k'naan

I've learned a lot in the past 24 hours or less.

I've learned that honesty is the best policy in most situations.
There's no point in hiding things or beating around the bush when you know the truth-however embarrassing or consequential-is the best thing.
It can also help you get what you want.

I learned that sometimes you have to be selfish.
The most important person in your life should be you, so honour that.

Lastly I learned that change, although difficult, is for the best.
I don't want to be the person I was last school year, so I'm going to change. And for the better.
I'll still be me, but a better me. With better grades, more hope and more confidence.
I'm letting go of things that brought be down and improving on things that can be improved on.

I learned all this by experiencing it.
I was honest with someone I needed to be honest with and while doing that, I put myself first.
I'm getting what I want and what's best for me.
And, when I get this, I can let go of something that brought me down for so long.

So I was honest, selfish, and now, I can be happier. Who knew?

It's been an intense 24 hours I guess.

So help me out, if you can. And you know who you are...
I'd like to move on and get back on track. The sooner the better.
It's kind of like closure I guess. I'm closing up what made me someone I didn't want to be.
I find closure very helpful actually. I don't like things in my life just drifting into non-existence.
I like having a definite end to thing. It helps me move on.

And one last thing.
Illogically, people punish themselves for something they did, or didn't do.
For me, it's for what I haven't done.
And for what I wish I could be, but am not.
But now instead of punishing myself I'm going to work on being who I want to be.
Although more difficult, I think it will prove more rewarding in the end.

lots of life lessons in a short amount of time,

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
Because when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need

    Is from the ashes we all yearn
    To be the phoenix that rises up from the flames"
