Ok, thanks to a couple friends and some people I never knew could help me, I've learned a couple things:

One is NEVER EVER listen to someone who's trying to put me down or insult me. Very little is it ever true and it's just a load of bullshit. And if what they are saying is keeping me from doing something I want to do and something that makes me happy, I'm just giving them my happiness and they aren't worth that.

Two is that life is way way way too short to be anything but happy. If I'm worried about what's cool and what isn't, then I'm not being true to myself and that's just a wasted life. If I'm going to be put on this earth, I'm going to do something worth-while and do what I want to do. And if anyone tries to tell me I shouldn't, or that I can't do it, then I'm just going to work harder to prove them wrong.

Three is that people do make mistakes. I make mistakes. It's only human. And the only way to let go of those mistakes is to learn from them and learn to forgive myself and the people around me. If I don't, then I'll just hold a grudge and that's not the way to go. That moment spent being mad at someone else is a moment of being happy and laughing that I'm never going to get back.

And finally, is that God is the most important thing in my life. Not some crush that I'm going to forget about 10 years from now and not the things I have or what I look like or anything else. I know now that we're all put on this earth for a purpose and only God knows what that purpose is. Only He knows what the future holds. Only He knows who will be here today and gone tomorrow. Only He knows what crazy twists and turns I will go down on the road of life. I can only hope that I learn to make the right choices and that I'll be able to take that road and become a person I'll be proud to call me.
