Some stuff I've learned recently:

Grow a pair and just ask if you're not sure about something, it doesn't matter if it's the correct way to do something, finding out if someone likes you or will go out with you, a no is better than not knowing. This isn't high school, the time for being timid is over. Ask questions, it's how we learn! Would people have ever gone to the moon if someone didn't ask the question, 'how do we get there?'. You may just learn something awesome.

I have grown so much over this last year and am realizing how deserving I am of happiness, but I also know I have to work for it, no one is going to just hand to me.  Part of this work is making the decisions that are best for me, not someone else. This also means I have to be *gasp* RESPONSIBLE! Financially, professionally, personally, mentally and physically RESPONSIBLE.

The people that rejected you in the past aren't part of your present and most likely won't be part of your future. Don't be upset with them and what they may have done to you. Learn from the experience, don't repeat the same mistakes, move on, and be a better person. This will most likely piss them off more than anything you could have done to them anyway and is therefore the best revenge.

I want the brutal honest truth, because really there is no other kind of truth. Seriously, 100% honesty.

If you want to tell me something, tell me, I promise you that you probably won't say one of the three things that might offend me.
