Sweater weather is better weather.

I've learned

Recently, I've learned a lot. A lot a lot a lot.

I've learned that no matter what you do, your family comes first. Then yourself. Then your friends. Some might disagree with me on this one..

I've learned that you don't give half effort. If you're doing something, you do it the best you can the first time. AP History taught me this one.. and chemistry.

I've learned that people will disappoint you. You will get your heartbroken. But you know what? That's OKAY. It's how we grow. Not the only way, but it does help.

I've learned that some days are hard. Really hard. But just because you've had a bad day, doesn't mean you have a bad life. All you can do about it is say your prayers, go to sleep and know that tomorrow doesn't have to be that way. Learn from today's mistakes so you don't have to make them again tomorrow.

I've learned that I'm going to make mistakes. I'm human. But through the atonement, I'm going to be just fine.

And lastly, the most important thing I've learned is that forgive is the key to everything. People are going to make you angry, forgive them. "Holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent free in your head." You're also going to make mistakes, and the only way to fully repent of them is to forgive yourself. I never really thought of forgiving myself, until it was the only thing holding me back.

This is my rant. And I'm out.
