Yes, definitely I had some major changes in my life.
Starting from leaving School and moving to College, I changed my attitude towards things and people in my life, I used to be very friendly and then get stabbed from my closest friends; then my relationship with my Boyfriend that lasted 5 years, I ruined it all by myself with my deception and lies that I used to tell my Boyfriend about. Now I realized that what I used to be is not going to get me anywhere and I have to start a brand new chapter in my life. I used to be so dumb, stupid and easily conned by the surroundings, I used to believe anything that is said to me; putting in mind that all people are very good and honest to themselves and to me too, I mean what could possibly make them lie to me!
Now, I'm thinking 3 steps ahead in everything, I used to be clueless on what am I going to be with my life, my Boyfriend really taught me a lot and the love we had left me an unhealed scare that will always remind me from now and then by my previous mistakes in life.
I'm good now, but I'm neither happy nor satisfied.
I won't reach happiness now unless I reach my goals in life,
Which are basically graduating from College this semester God willing, start working at a prestigious company and travel abroad to become an Entrepreneur and such big deal in this world. I promised myself that I WILL PROVE to everyone that I've changed and I'm going to make a difference not only in my life but also in others God willing.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

As I am finishing mt teen-age years, my growth hormones are blasting like a rocket. I am becoming a man.
I am starting to mature. I do not get furious anymore. I am more patient. I have presence of mind in any condition.
Sweet heart, everyone has a different experience of life for their inspired way of life. You asked a very good question. That way you can collect other's experiences.
Good luck!

dear demoiselle.
as soon as life starts experiences in life start.You listen by experience , you see by experience ,you walk ,you talk you everything including the multiplication table and the diplomas by experience.The past of the human being is a kind of current account where he always draws from , to face his future.
