Because I am not a brief person or an easily-understood person, I have a bunch of life stories I think, so I wrote a bunch of six word thingys. Here they are…
I always learn the hard way (This is because I love learning the hard way, I hate NOT doing something, just because I was told not to, I have to do it myself and learn not to do it again, by my own mistakes.)
Money is nothing of true value (This is because I learned from growing up in a wealthy family that the things I have recieved from my parents that were material, really mean, not so much now. The times that my Dad took time to give me a hug before he made a business phonecall or that fact that my Mom still makes my lunch every morning…those things mean everything to me.)
Blessed with more than I deserve (Simple, I am truly blessed with so much more than I deserve, my friends love me no matter what I do, they know who I am, my family is the same, I know I could screw up horribly and still be loved and accepted and even the fact that I am a Canadian. What did I do that made me so blessed to live in Canada, instead of Haiti, or Uganda…places where I probably wouldn’t survive?)
You love, You risk, You trust (This is because I believe that in order to love someone, it takes alot of risk, risk of your own safety and a lot of untrust and worries you may have. Also, I believe that after taking this risk, you first learn to truly trust another person, and maybe which people not to trust.)
Ready to mature, stuck in adolescence ( This one I wrote because I hear people my age talking about how they can’t imagine heading off to college in September, or how they love being immature and in some ways, I totally agree…being immature will always be a small part of everyone! As far as being scared or surprised that I am moving into the next chapter in my life, I’m not. I am totally ready and I think it’s exactly the timing it should be. I feel as though, if anything, it’s going to slow. And I know, don’t be in a rush to grow up. I’m not, because I already have grown up, I am just ready. I’m not worrying about not fitting in, in college, or how things will work out, because I have a peace that it just will.)

haha i like them! I think my favourite one is the first one “I always learn the hard way” learning something is definitely better than learning nothing! doing it the hard way, can be more fun too! hahaha i like “Ready to mature, stuck in adolescence ” too.
