My dramatic friends are reminding me this weekend of some important life lessons I've learned over the years:

• Everyone just wants to feel that they've been heard


• Most "bad" things in life can be traced back to a hurt (thanks, suba_al_hadid!)


• You can't worry about what others do, you can only worry about what you do


• You can only build a bridge halfway


• Rise above and do what you know is the right thing


• Self-preservation is important


• I'm not you, and you're not anyone else


• Feelings are valid - there is no "right" or "wrong" thing to feel


• Don't take things too far


• Don't punish


• Communicate, communicate, communicate!

I'm just chock full of introspection today! :D
