that it's ok to be who you are.
people used to bully me for being bisexual and for my unusual, unique style.
i can wear sparkly spandex leggings, bow ties and way too big shirts if i want.
i now know that i don't have to turn to drugs and alchohol for comfort.
knowing what you want in life and fulfilling your own personal dreams is the most important thing.
i realized all this when i was 13.

The biggest lesson I've learned in life is that I am not the center of the universe. It doesn't have to be "me first" any more. My needs, wants and desires are not the most important. I should always consider others and not have to have everything my way.
At what age? I was about 45 before I fully comprehended this important lesson in life.

Time seems long when looking forward, and very brief, when looking back. The universe is neutral about you, or your survival. It is up to you to create as much value as you can in the brief time allotted.
This epiphany occurred when I was 10 and I had just survived being hit by a car going 60.

Finding the right life partner....It was always for the wrong reasons.....generally LUST, which can be mistaken for Love. It will take you on a nice short right, but it doesn't go the distance. Friendship, Trust, Communication are but just a few starters you need for a lasting relationship....Didn't figure that out til I was almost 40 yrs. old.

The 3F rule, after my second divorce (it seems I'm a slow learner).
For those who aren't familiar with the rule, there are 3 things men should rent rather than buy:
1. Boats (float)
2. Planes (fly)
3. Women

When I was 20 my precious baby boy died. I learned how precious children are and not to take anything for granted. Well still working on the second part, but my daughter will never be taken for granted.
